Sprint Roaming+ - Coverage Map Update

Recommended Posts

Map was updated 11/11

 

Looking at the map it seems there might be some new additional extended LTE?

 

West of Charlotte between hwy74 and I40, East of Salt Lake City, Idaho/Wyoming border area, Idaho/Washington Border area

 

Also, when did Sprint build out native coverage in Michigan's thumb? What I remember that used to be all white.

No idea who that could be east of Charlotte other than USCC. That area is decidedly outside of Carolina West's footprint unless they're expanding undercover into McDowell and Rutherford counties.

 

Which would be a pretty big deal for them given they currently cover ten out of NC's 100 counties.

 

Never mind it IS Carolina West. See below.

I no longer have the logs, but I can confirm it is Carolina West Wireless.  Drove through there earlier this year and was very surprised.  IIRC there was even 3G.  They have 10x10 AWS and 5x5 PCS there in Polk county and Rutherford.

Well that's awesome! I've never bothered checking the PCS licenses outside of their advertised footprint.

 

I've always felt so lucky to be able to pseudo-native-roam on them. They're definitely not a haphazard build-out-so-you-can-sell-out-to-a-national-carrier company. Their service consistency inside their footprint is way better than Sprint's within Charlotte, and they have to deal with mountains. At least in my experience.

The colors are better, but still need some work.  They should just make extended 3G and LTE and same yellow color.  Average user isn't going to care that it is a different network. They don't even need to know that it is roaming.  It will not show up on the phone as roaming, and it only eats away at your regular data bucket.

 

Only place we need to know that is roaming is where it actually eats the roaming bucket. All we need is

 

Dark Yellow = LTE Plus

Yellow = LTE

Orange = 3G

Dark gray = roaming LTE

Light gray = roaming 3g

Fully agreed.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
