A dozen towers!

 

Its happening!

 

The dairy cows must be thrilled

I can see it now, LTE Ice Cream. Super speedy.

Not sure what's going on in Pacific Beach & Mission Beach, but it seems like that part of San Diego is a black LTE hole. Don't know if it's because Alca-Lu is so busy around the rest of the county or city government bureaucracy getting in the way. Seems like that entire part of the city still has legacy equipment.

I live in Del Cerro/Allied Gardens area, and prior to yesterday 3G had been spotty at best. Last night I almost fell off my couch when I noticed the 4G indicator on my phone. Speeds were horrible, but but I went out to map anyway. After about 10 minutes of mapping with an apparently good signal...poof...it disappeared. Sadly, none of it registered with Sensorly. It's been 12 hours. I watch the antennas at the corner of Navajo/College everyday, and they have not been touched. The site on Waring by Foster's freeze was upgraded about two months ago, so I'm thinking that is the site broadcasting the 4G. Hopefully it will come back soon...and stay on.

 

Sometimes it takes a couple of days for Sensorly to register your mapped points.

Man, I wish Sprint would hurry up already. I so made the right decision last year by not getting the S3 last year. The rep was trying to get me to upgrade to a phone that I didn't find visually compelling at all by telling me LTE is coming late summer of 2012.

 

And here we are in June 2013 and still no LTE. I did get a teaser of LTE a few days ago when it suddenly lit up on my S4 and I saw DL of 18.7Mbps.

Added some more LTE on Sensorly. I was driving through Black Mountain & Santa Luz part of San Diego and Fairbanks Ranch and added more LTE. The streets I drove on were Carmel Valley Road from Black Mountain Road to Camino Del Sur. Camino Del Sur from Carmel Valley Road to San Dieguito Road. And San Dieguito Road to El Apajo where it petered out halfway down.

And bet those speeds might've been a tad faster if you were using a server in the Southern California region as.opposed to Albuquerque.

Does it really matter if T-mobile is faster with their LTE?

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Out of curiosity, would that be $1,500/month per site at that price with AT&T? Also never would've thought that AT&T would have speeds that fast.

I'm surprised that Sprint would use AT&T for its internet services to the tower. I would've thought Sprint in this instance would use Time Warner Cable/Cox for those services, unless Sprint got a better deal from AT&T. Then again I'm surprised AT&T would let Sprint buy their service since AT&T has their own wireless division. I guess the only reason why AT&T would sell their internet services, is due to some sort of government regulation where they have to sell their products to competitors.

Just grabbed the HTC One. Saw 4G occasionally on the way home but looks like there's none here yet. Soon though.

I say throttle 3G down to 500-1,000 kbps and on LTE throttle it down to 1,000-1,500 kbps depending on how congested the cell tower is. Either that or do what Verizon does, and implement throttling or "optimization" on towers that are congested. But to be throttled down to dialup speeds in this day and age in ny opinion is rather draconian.

I think it's fair to assume that the whole county that previously had LTE that lost it has it back on again.

I went to the Dodger game last night against the Angels. Got signal for 3G and 4G, but data wouldn't work. I would guess that the network's congested.

 

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Dodger Stadium went through a process where they put WiFi in every part of the ballpark.

 

My friend's AT&T 4G LTE phone worked though.

 

I noticed today areas in the South Bay (San Diego) that had LTE access recently, are now 3G only.

 

If that's the case we can be pretty much be certain that the entire county's 4G LTE has been been turned off.

yeah, since the end of this past week, I've seen absolutely no 4G anywhere.

 

You're usually up in that Carlsbad cluster aren't ya?

I think LTE may have been shutoff for more testing. It's been that way the past few days. I was up in Encinitas on Friday in the areas where Marv1 has been mapping, the Mira Mesa & State Route 56 cluster have all been off in this period of time. They're probably tweaking frequencies and stuff like that.

Congrats on getting eHRPD. It's one step closer to getting 4G LTE. I'm over in San Diego and if San Diego was any indication, eHRPD was flipped on the last week of October of last year & the first LTE sites started popping up the last week of January of this year.

I noticed on Sensorly, that LTE has popped up on I-8 just past the county line in Imperial County, appears to be in the town of Ocotillo. How long has that been out there

 

I was on Via Cantebria heading to Encinitas Blvd, made a right heading west to ocean, where I picked it up. I see Sensorly updated it. Check it out.

That's great news!

Just mapped West of Encinitas Blvd as far as I had LTE, then noticed entire network decided to go out. I tried East of Encinitas Blvd, and no luck. Been picking up EVDO Revison A/1xRTT all day in Encinitas with LTE Discovery. Yesterday I mapped more of Garden View heading West, nearly making it to 5 frwy. Last night, I noticed someone mapped a small spot on Sante Fe in Encinitas .

Just out of curiosity how can you be west of Encinitas Blvd when the street itself generally runs east/west?

Friend of mine who lives in North Park, near the streets of Villa Terrace and Wightman Street reported LTE in his place. He has an iPhone, so there's no way he can map it on Sensorly.

Well, I found some additional LTE along the State Route 56 Freeway. I mapped it on Sensorly from about Black Mountain Road to Carmel Valley Road going westbound which is where it the LTE petered out. It Is only about 3 to 4 miles miles , but heck it's progress. Expect Sensorly to update it within the next 48 hours.<br />

I see North County is now dead. Is LTE pretty much done in the area, or is it break time?

Was at the Storm/Quakes game at the Epicenter (now Loan Mart Field) yesterday in Rancho Cucamonga and man, it was brutal. Network Vision can't come soon enough. I don't live in the OE but do frequent the area.
