I think you're connecting to band 41 at that range, since it's located at the Hilton. I work at Chase at Easton and we do not get band 41 in my location due to several big buildings being in the way, so the speeds are not nearly that great. Actually, you may be on to something. Just ran a Speedtest and I got 7 down, normally my speeds have been in 1.5-2.5 down. I'm at -119 dbon band 25 here, 41 can't reach me here.

We may be thinking of two different ones. I'm talking about the one off Lancaster/near East Broad. Sorry.

I could grab pictures tonight but it'll likely be dark when I get back. Dark when I leave, and dark when I get back. I hate winter.

I've also found Myrtle Beach to be that way. Which also has a decent amount of LTE, they're still in progress. Not as far as we are, I don't think.

Good to know. Have they started on any of these yet? And really, the 3G is usable now so that's nice, but it's hard going from LTE at work back to 3G. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm just bummed that my Lancaster Ave site is still only NV 3G. I'm in a desert of 3G that is surrounded by LTE.

Giving them until 2017 doesn't bode well for timely completion, in my eyes. Does Sprint have much recourse until after 2017 if nTelos hasn't done anything? Sprint has done much more work in a shorter period of time, I don't see why two states couldn't be done in a more aggressive timeframe, other than that I know nTelos doesn't have much money and will probably have contractors take their sweet time due to how little they can afford to pay.

Don't believe that network upgrades are finished in those areas yet. In areas where it hasn't been completed, your experience will be rocky until it is.

Right, hasn't been officially launched yet. Numbers/percentages on how many sites are launched are on the member side.

You're most likely dealing with the LTE refresh times of your phone being slow. I'm not sure if you're able to change that or not, been out of that kind of game for a while now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So what happens when you turn airplane mode on for a few seconds and then back off? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There was a site over on the east side that had really horrible range for a while. I think it was on Brice by World Harvest. Not sure what happened with that one.

Have you tried looking at your field test results on your iphone when connected to LTE and then comparing those with the spreadsheet available to sponsors? You'll find out exactly which tower you're connected to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like the tower you're connecting to on 3G hasn't gotten LTE upgraded yet. If that's the case, yes, you should get better service when your closest tower gets LTE. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am going to guess it was a weak signal from one of the Main St locations. That's pretty typical in that area. At home, my phone likes to go between the weak LTE signal and the 3G signal on Lancaster/Broad.
