I read through this thread and the WestPenn thread... and maybe there is more info about this in the premier forums, but wanted to see if anyone had more insight please. Apologies if I missed any recent updates posted.
I'm in the towns off the I-79 exit 87 and 88, Zelienople, Harmony and Evans City often. According to the Sprint coverage site, LTE is there, but looks spotty. Nothing (or barely) on the sensorly, opensignal, or rootmetrics maps but mostly 3G. I saw references in the forums to the tower(s) near Evans City being worked on a while back. The only coverage I typically receive is 3G. I've disabled band 41 and 26 just in case during various testing I've tried. If you drive North on I-79 from Pittsburgh in to the Cranberry (I-79, I-76) areas, LTE and SPARK are decent. Once you reach the northern boundary of the Cranberry Township area on I-79, LTE seems to just go away as you approach these smaller towns. Are these areas considered part of the Pittsburgh market (out of my own curiosity)? I realize the edges of a market area can be very hit and miss.
Anyone go through these areas that can comment in case I'm doing something wrong, if the area might be due up for more upgrades, backhaul issues, etc?
TIA to anyone that lives in the area and has any input.
