Why a Premier Sponsor would use Sprint coverage maps when they have access to S4GRU Site Acceptance maps is beyond me. Everyone knows that the Sprint LTE coverage maps are awful unless you zoom all t

October 2013 is now the actual date for rollout. For South Jersey, Its June 2014. They are six months behind.

Delaware

Status: GMO’s Completing/Full Builds Under Way

NV Sites Accepted = 64%

LTE Sites Accepted = 0%

Anticipated LTE Launch = TBD

Original Scheduled Completion = Q4 2013

Current Production Rate Completion = October 2013

Not actually true. The Current Production Rate figure is simply factored off the rate of completion over the last month or so. This does not indicate that they will actually be done in October. If work this month is at a slower pace than last month, the date will change drastically. The main reason work has been moving so quickly is the focus was on GMO sites, which can be completed very quickly. Now that they are working on full build sites, it will take longer to complete each site.

Just saw t bag mobile pass sprint in rollout .

They did, but it's mostly because they have a much easier time deploying LTE, they are just slapping up an new panel on existing equipment, and using existing backhaul. Sprint on the other hand, is having to bring in backhaul for each and every site, and rebuilding every site from the ground up. Takes much longer to do that.

I think two months might be a safe bet. Northern Delaware might be completed earlier, but I wouldn't be surprised if the first live LTE in the state is south of the canal though.

 

I am patiently waiting. I'll probably go bezerk mapping the first half dozen towers south of the canal on sensorly.  :lol:

If I'm not mistaken, someone was able to map some LTE near Dover a few weeks ago? We were hoping that was the start of the rollout, but I haven't heard anything about that area since.

I am now convinced that was a NASCOW. Since full builds are underway, I imagine (and hope) that we will something by the end of the summer. :unsure:

I took a drive around last night and got nothing near UD, elkton rd, and by planet fitness

That is T-Mobile LTE, not Sprint, I was saying to the other person I quoted this on that T-Mobile LTE went live in Newark yesterday.

West grove pa went live very close now.

Areas of Chester County been had it for a few months now. I don't think we will see it here until around the end of summer, & I think slower lower will start seeing it before up here in New Castle County.

Does any body know if route 279 md / de line tower been upgrade with nv yet . I can tell got new panels up yet. But I get 1.7 meg download 3g .

 

I am not sure but it sounds like your 3G speed is consistent with NV speeds. If you have photos of the tower you can use the how to spot Sprint antenna and RRU guides, that should let you know if its done (or at least being worked on).

Pretty much which is why we need 800mhz benefits in the worst way down here but i'd be happy with just getting lte 1900 hope to have it by football season lol cant watch RG3 light it up while buffering :dep: but im guessing probably closer to the end of the year and who knows for 800 benefits

So what, drive south of New Castle County and T-Mobile is EDGE and GPRS. They are pathetic.

      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.
