so i take it dstar that none of the pictures i took had band 41 on the towers??

i would call sprint and have them look at the performance of the towers in your area because in windsor locks theres at least 3 towers and 2 are near rte 159 and I91..if customers dont report issues they dont know theres a problem and they certainly wont look on there own..customers have to call and complain and the more customers call then they do something.

the n.plains ind rd. tower has had LTE for some time now...it went out 7 weeks ago and i have been calling about it and finally got to the network team in oklahoma city and it was fixed in one week..when it was working it was screaming 20-26 mbps download 7/8 mbps upload with 40/50 ms pings...try doing data profile updates or a refresh to the network i have a note3 and i do ##72786# and sometimes toggle on and off the 3g/4g or restarting the phone helps.

YAYZ!!!..n.plains ind. rd. tower is now fixed after 7 weeks!!! LTE for everyone in that area!!!

good news!!..finally had someone from the top call me from network support about the tower on n.plains ind. rd. and sure enough the tower has been waaaaay under perfoming since 7/24/2014...and the tower hasnt been serving anyone for a while..*dancing a jig* finally after 6 weeks progress is under way. also while on the phone was given some VERY USEFUL info...may share it...we shall see

gonna try and get more shots of towers as i run across them in my travels..does anybody in the wallingford area of pent highway and n.plains ind. rd know why the tower has no 4G?? been out for 5 weeks and sprint doesnt have a clue why.

s. airline rd. wallingford ct.

Just passing some info i was told by tech support today..that n.plains ind. Rd. Tower and s.broad st are in the middle of getting 2.5ghz sprint spark upgrades..and e.main st also is getting some sort of LTE upgrades..how much this holds true we shall see...may explain why the n.plains ind. Rd. Tower has had no LTE for 5 weeks now.

Did you ser the wire mess on the pictures i posted above??...if thats the sprint rack that might explain why theres no LTE...looks horrible.

this thread has quieted down...does anyone know why the tower above in wallingford on the corner of pent highway and n.plains ind. rd.has had no LTE now for a month??..called tech support and they have no clue as to why theres no LTE as they say they see no issues with any of the towers in the area..things are not adding up thats for sure.

pent hwy. and n.plains ind rd. wallingford ct. also if im looking at the correct rack looks like 8t8r...and also looks like whoever is doing the work on upgrades left a mess of the cabling unless its the birds messing with it...LTE has been off for about 3weeks now and last i knew sapposibly 800mhz or 2.5ghz LTE upgrades were going on. if anyone can shed some light would be helpful.

here are some much clearer pictures of the slater st. tower in manchester ct...if im looking at the correct rack i think it just may be a 8t8r

Thought there was something wrong with the site..no responses and so far no updates for the sponsor map...got some more pictures still trying to find my data cable for my camera.

Found out that tower in East Windsor had the Sprint legacy gear torn down, still wondering why it hasn't even been accepted 3G though. Odd.

have you found out if the slater st tower in manchester is 8t8r??...got some other photos coming as soon as i can find my data cable for my camera...has anyone have any news as far as hanover st in meriden??..seems like upgrades have slowed down or gone quiet.

took a minute for me to figure out but both threads got combined... dstar2002 i happen to be in manchester yesterday and took some better shots of the slater st. tower, will post em soon..do you know for sure if that tower is 8t8r??

Not a problem..wasnt sure if should be posting tower id's..and i was gonna ask you for a reference picture of 8t8r..ive come across towers that look like they have it but you really have to look and take note on a few little details...thanks for reading my brain

I do as a matter of fact i have a older nikon with 5x optical zoom and i think about 6 mp..i dont get out to manchester to often but just happened to be out that way and happened to be at home town buffet next door..took some more pictures that i will be posting soon.

thats funny...i went to home town buffet for lunch with a friend and didnt even know if it was a sprint tower, took shots anyway and looked at my"special map" and sure enough it was..and when i was looking at the map saw that the northern end of weston st wasnt i figured i would put it up anyway...but my search doesnt stop there as i will be getting more shots of other towers in my area and random ones in my travels...stay tuned!!
