    Got solid B25 and B26 from Route 33 near Montebello to west of where the Route 33 bypass meets the Standardsville business Route 33

    I ran periodic speed tests (about say 6-8 total) the other day while going down 267 west from Route 7 all the way to the Greenway toll booths... lowest DL was 8Mbps, the average was north of 30Mbps, the highest was just over 50Mbps... UL speeds and pings were decent too. I stayed on Sprint B41 the entire time as well... WOW, I'm quite impressed (especially given the less than perfect weather, and heavy traffic that day!)

    The other half of my Everything plan (who lives in Charlottesville) tells me he's had weird text delayed-delivery and calling issues (like others have mentioned above) the past couple of days... I smell something in the air, and it's not just the spring flowers!

    Don't get me wrong -- I love my trees and forests (I'll take somewhere on the Appalachian Trail over the city any day), I just find that some of the more strident anti-growth folks tend to have misplaced priorities (Meadowcreek Parkway is a good example, especially when the waste water plant down on Moore's Creek continues to dump fecal coliform-laden sewage almost directly in the Rivanna... that's part of the reason it smells like crap over near Pantop's)... My general take is this: "hurry up and wait" is a good philosophy for a lot of things (better roads, cars get A-to-B faster, less emissions), build infrastructure (weather cell towers, bridges, roads, etc.) ahead of time and it tends to be cheaper, more efficient, and better utilized over the long-haul. *Get's down off soapbox* Now if nTelos could have just hurried up and waited with this permitting, arghh!

    One can hope right?

    You'd be surprised (Charlottesville born and raised, so I completely know what you mean about the huggers... look how long it took for the City to open their half of the 50-years-in-the-making Meadowcreek er.. John Warner Parkway)... but the Albemarle "sign nazis" are well known for being the nastiest of the nasty NIMBYers.
  16. rmorrisonva
    Well a little bit of news... a well placed source tells me that nTelos is in preliminary talks with the Albemarle County (basically the Charlottesville area) zoning folks about tower upgrades. Apparently, in addition to highly regulated signage ordinances and "viewsheds", the county makes it an arduous process to essentially do any physical work to a cell site w/o an extensive review/approval process. If nTelos were to apply for permitting TODAY, it would likely take 9-12 months to be approved. Why they are just now entering preliminary talks, I have no idea (but this is crapTelos we're talking about after all). That said, I don't know how this would impact upgrades to the cabinets and non-Antenna type equipment but I'm told that might even fall under the purview of the zoning review process, I guess only time will tell. Not sure how the process might differ for site in Charlottesville City proper, so could be a silver lining there.

    Shentel gave me my first taste of what fully-deployed (or close) NV 1.0 would be like way before my native DC market was anywhere close to completion (and in some parts it's still not). I am confident Shentel won't let all of their hard work go down the tubes as traffic increases. I <3 Shentel (and H8 nTelos for that matter)!

    I lost LTE and 3G connectivity last week for about 2 hours (roughly 6PM to 8PM) and I was in several places over that period (Tysons, Springfield, and Ashburn). I figured they must be doing something market-wide.
  19. rmorrisonva
    I noticed the same in Shentel-territory early on. Likewise, I noticed some dropping back to 1X around Charlottesville recently as others have described elsewhere in nTelos-land.

    It's been said over and over, nobody knows. Please stop spamming the thread.
  21. rmorrisonva
    I'm not attacking you, just pointing out that some of your posts (opinion or not) are not related to network upgrades (ie. "they better have LTE by end of my contract etc etc.). Maybe I'm wrong about that, but that's my opinion.

    That's great, I've had them for 11 years. If you are tired of waiting I'd switch, otherwise better just to post about improvements/developments one has noticed in nTelos-land. I get excited everything I see life on the thread only to open it and see people complaining about the state of LTE in nTelos-land or Sprint in general. I assure you we all feel the same way but this really isn't the place to be venting.
  24. rmorrisonva
    Reps are pretty much useless, I wouldn't waste my time asking them anything (let alone sharing it since, again, most of them are full of you-know-what). If you're in nTelos-land and have Sprint you have options: 1. You can stick with the better overall coverage footprint and low prices Sprint offers (despite the LTE caveats). 2. You can switch to T-Mobile or a T-Mo MVNO and get some LTE coverage but a much smaller overall coverage footprint for similar prices as you pay with Sprint. 3. You can cough up more dough for service with one of the Duopoly and get LTE coverage and a good coverage footprint, albeit for a lot more $$. Not to be too terse but I hate that about half the time I check on this thread to see if nTelos has made any progress I am instead confronted with a bunch of complaining and self-pity. C'mon guys!

    Without B41 being deployed 6-8MBit/s on-peak is pretty damned good, and PERFECTLY usable for just about anything you (should) be using your phone for. I don;t see what the issue is here, I have no complaints when it comes to My service in the Shentel are (Western/Northern Virginia). Considering the sector maximum for anything non-B41 is about 37Mbit/s, 14-25Mbit/s is an unrealistically high performance expectation unless nobody else is using data in the sector. Frankly, it's good to see things slow down a bit as it shows there is a decent Sprint user base in the area (in other words they aren't likely to neglect you, although Shentel tends to be extremely responsive anyways). I think folks in this thread are starting to get their expectations out of whack.
