Im not seeing anything on sensorly?

 

Have we been FOOLED?

I would sure hope not, but we just can't be sure. If we could have had a screenshot with a map showing current location and LTE at the same time, that would be awesome.

I don't use sensorly

 

I used it in Florissant mo and it showed areas of lte but when I tried to locate my phone showed only 3g

 

Why do you not use Sensorly? We need to you map the LTE coverage that you find! It's the most reliable way of knowing where LTE is, much better than the Sprint coverage maps.

I already explained why lol

 

You don't use it because you couldn't find LTE where it showed there was? Simple answer to that. Someone either had a stronger device than you and was able to pick up LTE in that area, or the tower was down for any number of reasons. Florrisant is not in a launched market, and Sprint has no obligation to keep those towers operating 24/7 until the market is launched. 

 

If this is why you are not using Sensorly, that is a very, very silly reason.

My reason is sound

 

I have a gs3

 

 

Sensorly said I had lte there which it didn't I went to several places

 

The airport had it though it was right about that

 

Frankly, I don't understand your reason. Someone was able to map an LTE signal, then for some reason, that tower (or towers) were taken down by Sprint and you were not able to connect. But that doesn't change the fact that someone had been able to map LTE in that area. That particular area is back online now, I can tell you that for a fact. Please tell me how Sensorly gave you any false information? 

 

As the saying goes on this site - "Sensorly or it didn't happen."

 

Until we see those Sensorly blips on Fresno, we cannot confirm LTE is active in the area.

How can I not make this clear?

 

It said I had lte available but my phone didn't pick it up for the entirety of my visit

 

That is the nature of Sensorly, and the Sprint buildout. Signals come and go during the buildout. That area does in fact have LTE coverage now, as the issue with the towers was fixed.

Well, I still have to say I don't understand why that one experience makes you refuse to use Sensorly. It's not like it lied to you. The information it showed was valid. The network changed. Sensorly has no way of knowing when a site is up or down due to maintenance.

 

You don't even have to look at the map, just map for the rest of us. It's not that hard, and it lets others that maybe don't visit this site see that there is LTE in the area. 

 

The main reason we ask for Sensorly is we have had people troll the pages, posting that "I have LTE in XYZ City! Look here's a screen shot of my speedtest!" when in reality, they were not in XYZ City.

I thought I seen lte pop up on my gfs gs3 on shaw and villa

 

 

Maybe on of those is the one my wife's gs3 accidently picked up?

 

What is this, Utah?

 

You wont tell us where you allegedly picked up Sprint LTE because you know I will drive out there. I already did that at the Shaw/Villa site that would have been the one that you picked up, so you don't want to repeat that mistake. Bad trolling job is bad.

Lol by all means go for it

 

It's in an area u once spoke of

 

Why can't you just tell us so someone can go map it and that way Dkoellerwx can add it to the map he has located here?

Let's just leave it at that if ya don't wanna believe me I already said where it was it's not on me lol I took a screenie. Of it

Lol, hopefully for not too much longer. With all of the sites I've sought out, I sure hope I'm the first one on S4GRU to actually see it (cough cough) in the Fresno area.

 

You can have Visalia/Tulare, though!

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
