LTE Coverage in LondonAnyone with an LTE capable phone see their data connection revert back to 4G (at least my phone is reporting HSPA+ as 4G, and says LTE when it's connected to LTE) or 3G in London? Happened over night, had LTE coverage. Might be related to the snow storm blowing through I guess. |

It jumps around occasionally. Depending on location, weather etc. If you normally see LTE and that's not currently the case, something has probably caused it.
What kind of phone? |

It's the Xperia Ion that I'm currently using. |

Are you using the stock ROM or custom?
And which area are you in? I know from experience there are several dead zones in London where service drops all the way down to GPRS (If you're lucky) |

I'm using stock ROM. Well the stock ROM that Sony installed on it with their UI skin and then Rogers branded for themselves.
I live near Dundas & Third St intersection, north of Dundas. The LTE coverage was solid until the snow storm.
And ya I once encountered the deadspot while eating a restaurant owned by a family friend on Hamilton road near Trafalgar Rd. Not LTE, not even HSPA or 3G, I was connected to EDGE (I believe thats what the E stands for on my device). |

Yeah. There's on up by Highbury and Huron as well (behind Montcalm), if you're inside a house back there it's completely dead Lol.
Anyway, I personally can't test by going there right now but if anyone else in that area can confirm, I'd say call Rogers. Maybe the tower in that area was damaged? |

That area was deadspot for 3G, or atleast inside the school Rogers 3G never worked well when I went there 6 years ago lol. Telus/Bell CDMA phones worked best in the area back then.
Well I'll wait a few more days before I call Rogers. |

I guess the obvious should be mentioned as well...I'm assuming you have checked out your APN settings to make sure they're correct and or you're using the correct APN? |

I've never fiddled with the APN settings. It says ltemobile.apn right now. |

Ok. If you go into that, can you list here all the settings that are in there? Sounds like it should be right, but might as well make sure! |

Hey I live really close by, and I get poor reception even on the second floor. My driveway is completely dead, and so is the street.
I call them and they said they made a ticket and stuff but who knows. |

I meant to post the stats for the APN profile but got caught up trying to fix my cable internet, bad coax termination on an outlet. Rogers wouldnt fix so I fixed it myself. But I got LTE coverage back today, funny its right after another winter storm. Thanks for help. |
