    Network Vision/LTE - Columbus Market

    in Markets

    Posted

    I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway. You say Washington CH will be saturated with 3G soon. Doesn't it already have 3G? What I assume is that it will get upgraded 3G which is faster and of the 800 variety?? Or is this crappy speed I get, that says 3G, not really 3G?

    I do know this much.... three of the towers Washington Court House have been upgraded with the new Samsung Cabinets and RRU's (Rowe Ging Rd SE, Cisco Road and U.S. 22/Burkerhill Glendon Rd) I was kinda snooping as they were installing them. The speed has increased... slightly. The problem is, the three towers that I mentioned sit outside of WCH around US 35. It didn't affect me much because I just work there (at the Walmart DC) and I tend to get a really good signal. Download speed is between 1.5 - 2.5 mbps. It's much less than that inside WCH though.

     

    What WCH is waiting for is the backhaul. Once the backhaul arrives, speeds should increase significantly.

     

    I remember when they were working in the towers about a month and a half ago. It was a painful time to be a Sprint customer.

    Damn you laid a lot of purp! Great work. I'm guessing, but I'm pretty sure that's the tower on Jackson Pike. Check the map in the Ohio/West Virginia market thread for more details.

    I'm not so sure if it's the one on Jackson Pike that I think you are talking about. There are two.... one across from the county jail (which is what I think you're talking about) and one on Stringtown Road and Jackson Pike. The one on Stringtown and Jackson is where I believe the 4G is coming from. That's a fools guess though. I'm sure someone will post some sort of acceptance report tomorrow.

    I could map it tomorrow afternoon when I go through on my way home. But I have a feeling that there will be about 30 people all hovering around the area plotting purp and taking baths in LTE radiation beforehand.

    Ha!

    Folks its going to be a VERY interesting month for the Columbus market. I have a very reliable source on when and what towers are going live this month providing the dates don't get pushed out for some reason.

     

     

    Can confirm, seen a lot of July dates for LTE on individual cascades. Roughly 30 and all on the outside edges of the market.

    Thank You for the info!!
