one tower in the market permits

Sweet! I'm glad to see something happening in the Milwaukee market, even if it is out by Madison. I'm guessing the next "Evo" phone will be out by the time LTE rolls around to the Milwaukee area so I won't even have to worry about the LTE connection issues with the Evo LTE. I guess that's a positive....right?

Looks like eHRPD went live today. :)

 

Where were you when you saw an eHRPD signal? I'm not quite sure how to look that up on the iPhone field test screen, but mine is only showing 1xEV-DO and 1x.

So excited! I was getting ehrpd yesterday too! Did it happen for the whole market? I did a speed test out in Waukesha, Brookfield, and then Greenfield and got ehrpd on all of them.

 

(I took this screen shot today, so this is a speed test from yesterday)

I'm in Waukesha and am getting Ehrpd now as well. I checked my last speedtest which was 2 weeks ago and that was evdo. So ehrpd went live in the last couple weeks. Getting about same speeds but latency and response seems better.

I'm not checking all the towers, but I'm not seeing any permits being pulled in the Milwaukee area.

 

 

Well... I wonder how they're going to approach the Milwaukee market. WIth ones like Chicago, they started on the outer edges and worked their way into the city... So I wonder if they would start way out on the western edge of the state and work through Madison, then Waukesha, then Milwaukee. I sure hope they just start right around Milwaukee and the suburbs. I live in Greenfield and work in Waukesha.

They will almost definitely work on Madison and Milwaukee at the same time. However, they may start on the outside of Milwaukee and work inward as you suggest.

I've tried Shorewood, the east side, downtown, and tosa without luck.

 

I'm getting eHRPD at work by the Zoo and also in downtown Tosa where I live. Have been for the past month or so. The one place I'm still not seeing it is out by Lovers Lane north of Mayfair. Might just be the tower I'm connecting to or the weak signal.

I'm crossing my fingers that any week now we'll see a Milwaukee tower marked as "in progress" or 4g complete in the weekly update. I just got a second job where having LTE and a slightly stronger signal would greatly help!

I saw a guy on the tower around 4148 N Green Bay Ave Milwaukee WI 53209. The southern most tower in the back of the abandoned car dealer right next to the freeway.

But apparently this is not a sprint tower. Keep your eyes peeled for work!

    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
    • 76MB Google Play System update after that, bringing the date up to 3/1 from prior 2/1 date. 
    • April security patch is already out - 738.30 MB download.
