Thanks for the welcome! The information provided by this site about Sprint's rebuild is second to none. What I like the most about S4GRU is the focus is on information and not complaining. Once the complaining starts, it just snowballs out of control. The forums on Sprint.com are full of that!

Yeah, we learned early at S4GRU that we had to be the gestapo with rants/complaints.  Because then everyone tries to outdo each other and then all the posts are complaints.  No one wants to read through pages of complaints to find something of value.  And if they do, there are already lots of other sites they can go to for that.

 

Our format is appreciated by those who want to learn and participate in the discussion of Network Vision and Wireless Network Technology.  Thanks for your compliments!

Robert, I remember reading one of your comments in a thread that sums it all up. You said something close to this - 'All carriers have their strong and weak spots. Not every carrier works in every location.'  A prime example is my neighborhood here in KC. Sprint and TMobile have a strong to full signal while Verizon and ATT are 1 Bar or flatline.

Glad to see another Kansas City member! I'm in Springfield, MO now, but grew up in Lenexa. Moved away just after LTE finally went live, only to still be waiting for the most part down here  :rolleyes: haha.

      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.
