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,

Just a thought after reading through this thread, but I know I've seen on other voluntary donation-run sites where there is a visible bar/meter which shows progress towards each monthly expense goal and shows filled when met. I think if you could somehow incorporate something along those lines such that it displays on top of every rendered page throughout the site for example, it would help serve as a reminder/encouragement for those of us who can to donate regularly to do so.

 

Granted, I can only speak for myself, but at least for my own part anyway seeing such a bar 'incomplete' would definitely serve as a reminder and motivator as opposed to being left to remember/think about doing so on my own. Between getting older (and the inherent memory slips that are progressively becoming more prominent sadly) and the ability to be distracted in general, I wouldn't trust myself on a regular basis even if the underlying intent otherwise is there.

Could someone please provide the specific differences between which maps are or are not available at the 2 sponsor levels? The basic sponsorship level just says "some interactive maps." I'd like to know which maps I still wouldn't be able to see unless I became a premier sponsor. (Unfortunately, I cannot donate $100!)

The premier sponsor maps provide additional information concerning the build out status of the particular tower. i.e. estimated upgrade times, backhaul install timeframes, deinstall dates, etc.

 

essentially it provides much more information than just the tower name and location

Thanks for the info. It sounds like the premier level is what I'd need for my purposes.

Also note that the expanded detail in the Premier Sponsor maps are for the First and Second Round of Network Vision only. S4GRU currently does not have detailed information on 3rd and 4th Round markets. We do have site maps of all Sprint sites (regardless of Round) in the standard Sponsor section.

Just sent over a small donation, nothing huge at all, if anything its a frown but I felt very little bit I can do for now to show some love for the knowledgeable information I read on here daily. :)

I just keep sending in my monthly $10. Eventually I might even make it to the next level. :)

As far as we all know, premier sponsor is the highest level, unless you are a staff member.

 

I hope to donate so much money to the cause that Robert will have to create a new one for me: S4GRU "Koch brothers level" Sponsor.

 

:P

Robert,

 

Just made a small donation but forgot to put my screen name in. Email address is the same as the screen name though. Thanks for all the work you do!!!

 

I was at the hospital when I got your donation, but I was able to upgrade you from my phone. Thanks for supporting S4GRU.

Hey Robert, I just decided to throw a couple of bones, I know it's not much, but will continue to donate whatever I can. I find myself checking this site all the time for Sprint info. I forgot to add my username in the paypal donation process. If there is anything else I need to do, give me a holler. Once again, thanks for all that you do to keep us Sprint customers informed!

      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.
