I don't know what you're talking about. I agree with the poor LTE getting like 1 or 2 mbps, but my 3g is rocking at full signal. During peak hours, my LTE in the basement is like 3 mbps at -105. but my 3g takes over sometimes at -80 and gets basically the same speed, just higher ping.

What? Lol. Check out the Utah market spreadsheet forum. Link is in bosox signature.

I've been averaging 10 down and 12 up for a couple of days now, with a -75 to -110 RSRP. When I'm upstairs, I get -75 and downloads around 15-25 mbps. Downstairs, in my office I average -100 and speeds around 7-10 mbps Then agian, I live downtown in an area where there are as many live 4g sites as there are sprint subscribers. I'm almost certain that I'm the only one using the tower by my house.

Oh, and the combo digitizer lcd usually runs about 60-70 bucks. Still way cheaper than paying someone to do it... I'd go that route if I were to do it again. I have done just the digitizer 3 different times, and my first two were subpar performances. The third go around turned out like new. You'll need a heat gun, some thin 3m tape--which I have a shit load of if you want some--and a torx screwdriver bit the appropriate size. Additionally, you'll need a gentle, steady hand. The first one took me about 2 hours. The next two probably only took about 30 minutes. If you want to be a true tech nerd, fix your own shit. lol.

I've fixed a couple of screens with just internet instruction. You can buy the LCD and digitizer combo on amazon. It makes things easy. Or you can just buy the digitizer, which is what usually breaks. Replacing the digitizer is a bit more involved, but way cheaper, like 30 bucks. There are a ton of how to vids out there too. How good are you at working with small screws and such?

I'm rocking the wimax clear mobile hotspot. I varies like crazy. At home, I'm running like 3 down 1 up, 5 down 1 up on a good day. At the University I get a consistent 7 down 1.5 up. I've hit 12 down before though.

If you listen to Pandora for 6 to 8 hours a day at work its something like 8 gigs/month. I 'd rather not be hobbled, that's why I don't bitch about 0.30 3g and sprint's slow roll out. I've hit 30+ down with lte, and that's faster than my Comcast. Anything faster than 10 is just icing on the eff you Verizon tmo att cake.

There is definitely 4g in Tremonton. You should have picked out up near bountiful as well. I live downtown and there is nothing live. There are two sites live in slc, one way east on foothill and another near redwood road and 2nd south. Neither site reaches downtown.

I think the main reason for Cedar getting 4g is residential/commercial density. It's a hell of a lot easier run fiber through a small semi rural city than it is through 100 linear miles of concrete, commercial, and residential infrastructure. Also, there is a big difference between scheduling permitting and inspection within one city in one county vs. 30+ cities in 4 counties along the Wasatch front. Still, keep in mind that Utah, Salt Lake, Box Elder, and Davis counties all received 4G before Cedar City. They didn't get it in Cedar any faster than anyone else. Just another random ass 4G site.

why do the guys who can map the least accessible areas all have galaxy nexuses? you can map all you want down there,but be aware that the nexus puts false sensorly readings all over the map. the radio tends to hold onto weak and nonexistent signals for some reason...it makes sensorly inaccurate. Logan sensorly map...case in point.

Remember a year ago when it was the reverse. Tons of LTE phones with no LTE to give them life...well, I guess it's both scenarios now.

I don't think having daily thunderstorms rolling in at 3 p.m. helps the work at all. I'm sure the fiber guys work through it, but I'd hate to be up 200 ft hanging hardware on a lightning rod. I was a brick/stone mason for quite a few years and I've heard rebar buzz and felt my trowel vibrate in my hand while up 30-40 ft on scaffolding when a storm rolled in.

Counting the days? You know something I don't?

All I know is they better hurry up. I need to re-up my sponsorship soon.

live site? Less than 1%. Actual work? 10%. Hard to say with those guys burying that fiber the way they do. The fact that we've seen so many site with their RRUs popping up means that we're waiting for the fiber. Maybe one day they'll connect the motherload junction box and we'll see 50 sites go live in one day...one can dream right?
