Yea, it's nice. LTE has been slowly coming to Chesterton the last two weeks. I have had it at my house for close to three weeks now (just north of the Toll Road and east of 49). Yesterday, was the first time I noticed the LTE signal right at the Chesterton toll road entrance.

Woke up this morning to LTE signal in eastern Porter County, Indiana. I believe my "home" tower is CH60XC204. It is located along the Indiana Toll Road in the Valparaiso, Chesterton, and Westville area. 29.7Mbs down and 7.7 up speeds. Also, debug screen shows channel 476.

Yep, you're definitely in my area. I would have thought that they would've "flipped the switch" by now. I can't complain too much though. I'm able to get some blazing fast LTE at work and have my wifi at home. I do have a tower (CH60XC204) that is literally 1500' from my house across an open rural field and even at its 3g (broadcasting in eHRPD) speed I'm able to consistently get 2.4 to almost 3.0M download speeds. Hopefully "my" tower will be LTE shortly. Best wishes.

How far east of I65 are you? I'm in Chesterton, but work in lake County. Most of the time I will have great LTE service at work. I haven't been on this site for a while, but I've been told that Sprint has been working west from South Bend and east out of Lake County and are planning to meet in the middle. Again, this is coming from Sprint reps. I was in Michigan City on Friday and had to pick up a car charger from the Sprint store. The store manager rang up the purchase and he told me that some of the "upgrade" crews were in the store earlier in the week saying that they have most of the upgrades done in that area...

I think most on this site recommend the app "sensorly". It is a good app and is very informative.

In the northern Indiana area, I've noticed that within the last week the Lte signal has been moving further east. I work at multiple steel mills in Lake County (ArcelorMittal East/West & US Steel) and a few weeks ago I would only pick up Lte at the far west mill. I noticed a significantly strong signal today further east at US Steel in Gary. Attached is a screen shot of a speed test i took on Buchanan Street.
