Nice speeds @ Platform Beer Co yesterday evening.

The site by Kingy's probably? That one tends to be pretty open. Depends on the sector and time of day. Up near Gender though still pretty rough right?

 

Most likely. It's when I'm between Pickerington Rd and Diley Rd. I figure there's not much load on it, but still cool to see those kinds of speeds.

Excited to see this. Columbus market seems to be doing pretty well for me lately. Already getting 120-150mbit at home/work and even see speeds around 250mbit along 33 southeast of Canal.

I’ll have to try again.

I’m on the iOS 11 beta so I’m wondering if I need a carrier update I’m not getting because of the beta. Good news is I’ll probably get one Tuesday.

I got the magic box last night and set up it and it's connected to whatever tower with CINR at 13.5. My only issue is my iPhone 6 is not connecting to it. The box says connected devices 0. Any idea as to why? Is there a period that goes by where it has to fully latch onto the network 

 

edit* my iPhone is connected to the box and now where I was getting  6 down tops without the box on b25 I am now getting 40 down and 8 up. I'm very impressed.

How long did it take for your iPhone to connect to it?

Sold mine. Scratches way too easily.

My iPhone has been naked since day one and not a single mark. My LG was covered in scratches in less than 30 days, including the camera lens. I got most of them out with rubbing compound but meh.

I want another android phone but I hope I can find one where the quality is better.

Anyone have any anecdotal experiences in Lancaster? Will be moving there next week.

My S8+ still drops b41 when I am using data so....

Drops to which band?

You are not supposed to measure HPUE. That is not the point. Less than one percent of users have SignalCheck Pro installed or have any other idea what band their handset is using at the time. HPUE is supposed to improve transparently their overall data experience.

I'm on the same page now. A lot of people are definitely overthinking it including me.

Downlink signal doesn't change, only uplink and only when the data connection is not idle. I knew HPUE was a Tx power increase on the uplink/handset side, not sure why this didn't click.

There's no real way to tell unless I started streaming a movie near a tower with two devices and starting walking away from it.

My disappointment in my office was due to band switching at idle. When I'm streaming music I'm pretty sure the G6 does not drop to B26 like the iPhone.

Sorry to be harsh, people, but how many times do staff need to say this?!

 

HPUE affects uplink TxP, not downlink reception nor idle mode band selection. Your HPUE handset will not necessarily camp on band 41 more often. You cannot judge HPUE that way.

I think a lot of people are confused about HPUE in general. Maybe a FAQ/Sticky could be created.

HPUE doesn't appear to be working everywhere. Signal is near identical on 7+ and G6 in my office. Both devices change to B26 if I look at them wrong or breathe too deeply.

Is the 3xCA widespread yet? I work in SE Columbus near Obetz, still seeing only 2xCA.

Not going to complain, I still see speeds close to 100mbit outside and 50mbit at my desk.

Anyone having data issues today. I'm seeing split second drops in data on two devices since yesterday. I'm currently in Columbus and the other line on my account is down in Jackson seeing the same issue.

Phone will show LTE, then drop to voice only for 5-10 seconds then back to LTE. Both iPhones.

I just reported it in Sprint Zone.

I haven't tried Chillicothe, but I'm more curious about the Columbus area.

 

I work in Columbus and outside my workplace I show B41, EARFCN 40978. Signal is between -92 and -96. I'm not sure if it's possible that there is only one B41 carrier on the tower I'm connected to or not (or that the signal is too weak?). I was hoping to figure out some place I can go in town where 2xCA is a sure thing. 

 

I figure I'll try the Arena District after work, that's not too far away.

I decided to try Chillicothe, locked onto band 41 near the fairgrounds. Weak signal, but definitely getting 2xCA,. All is well!

The "regular" version of the iPhone 6S Plus does support CA.  Chillicothe does have some CA.  If you can receive Band 41 outside of the traditional Columbus metro, it has carrier aggregation.  This might be a firmware issue.  Try asking here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/7164-iphone-6s6s-plus-user-thread/

Anyone have experience with an AT&T version of the 6S on Sprint? Specifically whether or not carrier aggregation still works?

What phone do you have (still iPhone)?

Yes, I have an iPhone 6S Plus.

I will note it's the AT&T version with band 30.

I'm looking to test out carrier aggregation somewhere. I work on the south side, just north of Obetz. When I go outside I get band 41, but it appears to be only one carrier (about 30mbit). Is there anywhere in town that anyone knows I can test 2x CA? 

Also, would there be any reason why I don't get CA where I'm at? Do some towers only have one carrier? Does CA only work on two or more towers, not multiple carriers on the same tower?
