I will offer a counterargument: a true "donation" should never have a set minimum. Sponsors -- new and old, at any level -- should not get the impression that they are paying for content or access,

First off, I am new to the site  :) . Secondly, what is a acceptable amount of money to donate to the site? I am a college student and obviously funds are a little low at the moment but I am willing to give some money to help in any way possible. I want to be able to see the upgrades in my area honestly so that I can make the best educated decision on when I should switch my wife and I back to Sprint. Thanks guys!!

Anything is acceptable even a dollar but even 5 would be better, it gives you access to most maps on the site and more information!! I def. would recommend it!!  :tu:  Robert (the site Adimin) he is very nice and understandable. I was in college when I first came on this site myself so I understand where your coming from!!  :)

Sprint has def. improved since NV (Network Vision), and Sprint "rip and replace" of antennas and equipment!! Sprint really has never been "bad" I never thought, coverage I will admit could be better but overall I never had a problem with Sprint service. Sprint is really getting band 26 which is 800 (old Nextel spectrum that better penetrates and gos further). Most of us on this site are big Sprint fans and love the Sprint network and we all struggled through the "mess" (I didnt experience a lot of issues in my area, but some people on here did have a lot of issues). The network is almost complete with NV so you really should not even notice any issues.... I think you will be pleased with the Sprint network and hopefully she will too!! 

 

Also, I am glad to see you are now a Sponsor on here, glad to see you were able to contribute/donate, I am here to answer any questions you may have along with staff and others!!  :tu:

Thank you! We had sprint last year in Wilmington for about 3 months but they were upgrading the network here and we literally couldn't do anything with out phones. It got to the point where if I wasn't on wifi then I couldn't use data at all but since NV is completed, I'm optimistic. Sprint had excellent coverage in Pennsylvania and along 95 on our trip up so we were happy with that. Just sadly, the network was in shambles here in Wilmington.

 

As for me being a sponsor, I'm glad I can contribute! I will be giving money on a monthly basis to help in any way possible because what you guys do is incredible. The interaction between users is something I've been looking for and I have certainly found it here! So thank you.

This is one of the best sites, there are others but there a lot of "trolls" and that on the other sites, and just as not didication as there is to this site. I have been on the other sites and there is nothing wrong with them, I just prefer this one, plus this is the only one with maps and better information, lol.

 

Yea I heard Washington was a mess but I know someone who lives there and told me actually just before New Years that things are like night and day and LTE is good.

So question, now that I have access to the maps, I am looking at the towers near my house and they have 3g/800/4g. What exactly does the mean for these towers?

3G means NV is complete, 800 is 1X800 (Voice) (pretty sure), and 4G is 1900 Band 25 is active. Its the green ones.

I thought 800 meant data too..hmm

Yes it is data too, I wouldnt know, I live near Rochester, NY and we dont have 800 yet because of border issues (slowly getting it though), we got Sprark though!! Man I did a speed test actually when I was near a tower that had it yesterday and got 64.38mps down and 14.12mps up!!

 

Your phone and the tower selects what band is best and/or available.

On the sponsor map, 800 only refers to voice. If you want to know about the coverage for 800 LTE, you need to become a premier sponsor, which is an automatic upgrade once you've donated a minimum of $100 to the site. The premier sponsor forum has maps for 800 LTE (and 2500 LTE/Band 41).

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
