Oops. Cleaning up my Imgur account I deleted most of one album. I expect some images will show dead links soon. :(

Oh noes. :(

Hi,

 

Unfortunately it's not possible to restore deleted images, but you're free to re-upload them. Please note that you will be given new URLs and the view counts will reset. Let me know if you have any other questions; I'd be happy to help.

 

Best,

Brianna

These are the first set of images I uploaded of the base station I directly connect to. Oddly, they're still showing...

 

Edit: Imgur advised it can take 24h for images to be deleted.

To be honest I'm not sure what they are...are they ground radio units?

Old you say? I guess they did some cost cutting on what really is a new site still. Cost is a major part of the reason this carrier hasn't launched LTE yet. $$$

 

So are these Nokia units rated for harsh sun, the winter freeze and summer rain?

They're rated for outdoor environments that does not include getting submerged under water or being consumed by flames.

Erm...*cough*...I think I deleted them from an album but this just returned them to the "unsorted" bucket. They were never deleted from my account. :P Now to remove all the duplicates from my account since I re-uploaded them all. :unsure:

    • 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.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
