I remember when I was on nTelos their entry level reps and techs has no idea when LTE would be added. It always ended with broken promises. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "It's Coming soon" (this was in Jan. Of 2014)

Hopefully when Shentel takes over everything will be solid at that point.

Seems like I picked up some LTE in the Charlottesville/Albemarle County area some time between 9 pm and 1030 pm when I ran into town.

I was able to see two Mnc's when I was on Rt.29  around Barracks Road last night when I searched on my T-Mobile iPhone 6. One was nTelos Communications and the other one was Sprint. I normally have only seen the nTelos Communications one so last night was something new.

So I just got a iPhone 6s which I have upgraded from a iPhone 5.  I'm in charlottesville and noticed now that I never had a problem with my iPhone 5, that a lot of times I'm always on 1x.  Like with my iPhone 5 I would get some areas of 1x but not that often.  With the iPhone 6s I'm getting 1x all over the place instead of 3g.  You would think with the new iPhone there would be better band support and what not.  I wonder why this is going on.  My prl and phone settings are all up to date too.  Frustrating.

I had to turn off the "Enable LTE" switch to keep my phone from dropping to 1X. My theory on that is the phone is trying to authenticate to nTelos LTE and is failing and goes to 1X after failing authentication  

Ntelos hasn't activated LTE for Sprint customers everywhere yet. There's a few places they have, and it keeps getting reported in this thread, but I haven't heard of any LTE for Sprint customers in C'ville yet.

I totally understand. I am recently new to Sprint after coming off of Verizon from work. It is hard to get used to 3G again but hopefully LTE will be online here soon!

Are you a Sprint or ntelos customer?

I am a Sprint customer. I have family members that use nTelos 

Hello All, 

New to this forum but I live at Lake Monticello and work in Charlottesville. When I upgraded to the 6S my phone wants to stay in 1X when I have the Use LTE switch on. I can confirm that my family that uses nTelos have band 25 LTE here.
