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,

Donated, but forgot to include my user name. :blink:

 

I was able to figure it out from your email. No problems. You're already upgraded.

I donated a little while ago today. I understand it may take a while to get upgraded, but I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Will there be a password or acknowledgement email sent to me once I'm given 'Sponsor' status? The PayPal email address and the email I used in my profile are different, but I did include my username in the notes for the donation.

 

I understand you probably have a lot more going on than just updating accounts, but I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything.

 

Thank you!

I just donated, but I forgot to include my user name in the paypal comments.  (Even though I kept reminding myself to do it every step along the way!)  Sorry about that...I feel like a dunce.

You're good to go.  I upgraded you once I got out of my meeting.  Thanks for supporting S4GRU.

I was able to figure it out based on your email address.  You're already upgraded.  Thanks for supporting S4GRU.

Just gave a small donation to help out the site. Hopefully i'll be able to give more when I get out of college.

 

We appreciate your monetary donation.  Additionally, you have been doing a nice job of answering questions and posting solid info in The Forums.  So, you are helping S4GRU in more ways than one.

What kind of maps should i get from just donating?

what are 'some interactive maps'

 

The maps show you the location of all Sprint sties across the country, as well as a near-daily updated map showing Network Vision progress across the country. This allows you to know exactly which towers in your community have had 3G, 4G and 800 SMR upgrades. We also have some members that have taken it upon themselves to create more detailed maps tracking the rollout in their specific markets. These are pretty cool to look at, and give you a very good idea of where the rollout is in your area.

Yes, there is a map for Hawaii, and this is all available to regular Sponsors. 

 

Premier sponsors have access to additional information, but for the most part everything you need to know is at the Sponsor level!

Do it! It's worth it. You can tell where they are and which sites are giving you connection and their speeds etc. Next thing you catch yourself physically checking to see if the upgrade has begun or is completed.

I just donated but didn't put my user name in, does that matter. Also where do we go for the additional sponsor info when approved

Since Robert is on vacation, it may take some time for your account to be upgraded. Sponsor information is in the sponsor section, front page of the forums.

I was able to figure it out from your email address. I upgraded you immediately after waking up at my campsite. I get "one bar" of service. Enough to text, upgrade members and do a little Tapatalk posting. I should be able to do upgrades immediately so long as I have a signal and awake. ;)

You should have known better when you chose the S One Bar Ranch for your campsite.

I usually get your references. But that one is over my head.

You have lived in the West for most of your adult life and you do not recognize the very common "Letter + Bar Ranch" name/brand convention (e.g. Ted Turner's Z Bar Ranch in Kansas)?  And you call yourself a geography buff...

 

It is a good thing that you are not at one of Turner's ranches in Montana, though.  He has one there called the Bar None Ranch.  And that is undoubtedly perfectly fitting for native Sprint signal.

 

:P

Looks like my membership level wasn't upgraded automatically. Can an admin update my level?

I didn't have service when you donated. I upgraded you when I got back onto coverage. Only an hour or so after you donated. Thanks for supporting S4GRU.

      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.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
