  1. Yeah, my home tower in Big Bend is the same issue. GMO and not turned on. Lucky I am surrounded by other towers with 4g that I am now able to get very decent speed from. From my visual observations this GMO tower is 4g ready, but who knows when they will flip the switch. It is the only tower for many miles that is not 4g active.
  2. Revising my previous statement, it looks like just the National Ave I-43 tower is active, and the Big Bend tower is still sitting at 3g. This active tower on National and Racine Ave is one of the highest towers around here (compared to the elevation surrounding) and the coverage is excellent for miles.. My home is about 3 mi away and I get 4g though almost all of the house from 105-117 dBm. 4-8mb down just a little less up. Don't be surprised if you pick up decent 4g from even further away, before this other tower ever kicked in I was getting 4g from towers miles away (5-6) and reasonably decent speeds too....
  3. Good day today for southern Waukesha. I appears they have turned on 4g for the Big Bend GMO tower and the Racine Ave 1-43 tower. You should be able to experience good 4g up and down 1-43 Rock FWY now. Not certain of the Calhoun/ New Berlin tower, but someone else may know. I fully expected the Muskego West tower to be turned on also, but not today....
  4. Confirmed 4g active on the 1-43 and Mooreland water tower. Thought for sure they would turn on the Racine Ave I-43 with it, but not yet. Got 27 down and 10mb up...
  5. I have not had that experience yet, but as little as I understand this once towers are marked complete for a service (800/4g etc) the phone appears to need the update for it to properly receive. (Samsung S4) This is my only explanation for the 800 falling off on these 4 towers on Monday only to return immediately after my update today.
  6. You are correct, the tower on 124 and Beloit is broadcasting LTE. I drove around New Berlin today and was able to get a signal from that tower down Mooreland and around National. Didn't waste my time going all the way down Beloit as the LTE signal was getting stronger every block I drove past Sunnyslope on Beloit. I drove right past both the Calhoun/Cleveland and Rock Freeway 1-43 water towers and neither of them are live LTE yet. No Muskego West yet either. Lesson for everyone out there. UPDATE PRL EVERY DAY. My 1-800 voice disappeared Monday after a week of straight 800 signal, and all returned as soon as I updated my PRL this morning. These towers in question became 3g/800 complete as of a day or two ago. Strange how some of the towers go from nothing to LTE and some take these baby steps to LTE.
  7. Maybe someone could shed some light on the 4g progression we have going on in southern Waukesha county for me. All the towers surrounding the College Ave Muskego 4g (active) tower have been 1 x 800 solid for about a week (some longer) and now they are all back to 1 RTT, since Monday. The active 4g tower on College does not transmit 1 x 800 voice but has LTE on full time. Is my expectation that these surrounding towers will (Maybe) start LTE shortly correct? Not sure how normal 4g testing occurs on these towers but I am getting anxious since I have been able to enjoy 5 minutes a day on LTE in Southern Muskego as I pass through. Still am getting much better 3g speeds in a portion of these towers marked 3g complete, but not all of them. Just curious and thought someone out there might know.
  8. 1 x 800 is on full time today for the remaining towers around the Muskego Tess corners 4g tower. Muskego West water tower, Mooreland road I-43, National Ave I-43, Calhoun and Cleveland water tower. Not certain my Vernon tower is as I am always locked on the I-43 tower at home, but LTE should be the next step.. hopefully sooner then later. I have been 1 x 800 all day today on Muskego West.
  9. I know for certain, as I reported earlier, that the tower on the East side of Muskego has been live LTE every morning since Monday. Weather or not it is live through the day I cannot say but I suspect it is. The tower on National and Racine above 1- 43 has pretty much been solid 1 x800 for a week or so now, but no LTE yet. I did also pick up 1 x 800 from the Calhoun tower handed off from the 1x 800 National Ave tower yesterday. I am not certain if the Moorland Road and I-43 tower has been testing at all, but I may be headed that way tomorrow.
  10. LTE live in Muskego. South tower on College near Janesville. I don't have the patience to figure out how to get pics in my posts right now but my first speed test was 17mg d 10mg up, and my 2nd was 22mg d 6.9 up... The West side of Muskego is not live with LTE yet, although this is the first time I am getting 1 x 800 off the water tower so I assume it is coming soon. Please let me know if the Mooreland 1-43 or Calhoun tower has done anything. I also did not get LTE from the 1-43 National Ave Rock Fwy tower today either, but that has been a consistent 1 x 800 for about 4 days now.
  11. I think its very likely this is what is happening with the Vernon high power lines. When I compared the photos for the GMO on this site I noticed the Samsung cabinets matching. I didn't get out of the car so next time I am going to try and see if I can find the ground RRU's. I do know the Samsung programmer was out there and this tower is on the NV upgrade map so we will see.....
  12. I used two separate apps and they both are listing the network tower in the general area of where the Sprint tower is on Hwy 67 just off of 59 in Mukwonago.. I seems crazy that I am picking up 4g from that distance, but it has been confirmed by both LTE discovery and open signal. It is miles away, maybe its not right but the signal is very weak at best. It also looks like it is 3g only on the map so who knows...
  13. Solid 1x800 signal (from the Rock FWY 1-43 National Ave tower in New Berlin) at home for the last couple of days now. Getting a very weak 4g upstairs from at tower miles West in the Mukwonago area but it is hard to hold. Cannot wait till these local towers get 4g turned on.
  14. Interesting, does 3g complete have anything to do with NV antenna finished also? Or is it possible to get that with just the lower part done. I am quite certain the High Power line tower in Big Bend/Vernon has no NV antenna on top of the tower. Maybe they snuck them in on me.. have not been past that in a week or two.. The strange thing is the 2nd last time I was out there the Samsung Programmer was parked under the tower. I thought that weird since there was no NV antenna up top.... Any help here?
