Here we see a rare congregation of feral AT&T trucks, grazing in their native habitat behind the dollar store and recycling place. I did not dare stop my car, for your average AT&T truck start

I'm in Clovis today and even with a -100 EVDO signal, I'm still getting usable data. I'm over by Bullard and Fowler.

I noticed on the sprint maps that some towers disappeared in fresno namely a few east of the 41 near me......

 

 

I dont feel it since we use an airave but thats just odd

Sprint maps don't show all Sprint sites. Only ones that have received upgrades in the past six months. Once an upgrade gets more than six months old, it falls off their maps.

 

The only place you can find comprehensive maps that show Sprint's network nationwide is in our Sponsor section.

Also all over Clovis today and had similar numbers and was able to stream Spotify perfectly and you tube with just a couple hangs. Really good today (at least usable) definitely not blazing though, but stable is a big improvement. Usually on and off all over the place.

That makes sense

I was the passenger in a vehicle driving all around Fresno recently.

 

Speeds were poor. Youd never be able to guess which test was done with a -65 signal.....it was the one with a 928 ping

Since when is 1275kbps poor? I consider that decent. And on 384kbps I can still browse the web at a decent rate.

That was one of many. Clearly not the norm. That was however one of the fastest Ive ever pulled in Fresno, outside of the wimax tower.

 

Not shown on screen is the test pulling a wonderful 16.

 

Note the times as well...past 10pm, not exactly peak usage time.

I have noticed there are way fewer signal drops, especially when streaming audio (which I do a lot) over the last couple weeks, seems to be way more stable (still not blazing fast by any stretch) but at least working, almost always. Friends with the att LTE are getting amazing numbers and  consistency lately. T Mobile friends get amazing speeds in spots but similar speeds to me in most places (but when it's working on LTE... WOW!). T Mo seems really spotty though.

I've been following this thread for a while and I just had to post now.  I have been getting some really bazzar issues with my Note II in the past few weeks.  Today at work (Downtown Visalia) i'm on roaming, I've never had less than 4 bars here inside my office and this has been filled with high hopes that LTE will be turned on soon

Welcome fellow Visalian. I have been monitoring the downtown Visalia area for months. The tower that covers most of downtown has been Network Vision converted, however, it appears that they haven't finished up the backhaul work to the site yet. Hopefully they will soon, and then we can see that fast LTE network. I work off Valley Oaks and live over by Walnut and Akers, so I'm constantly watching all 4 sites in Visalia. And Oedipus helps keep an eye out for LTE in Visalia when down in the area.

In Kerman....(yes I may be the only one in Kerman but oh well) I have a friend that actually works at Sebastian Corp. where the Sprint tower is located.  He confirmed that they are laying the 50 ft. fiber to the fiber hub in town which is in the building next door and that the cabinets are being installed.  Samsung also has rented a man lift and are preparing to update the coax to fiber.  We may be 15 mins. west of Fresno but hopefully that is a good sign for you Fresnans to our east as I take it as a good sign for us Kermanites.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.

      Network Vision/LTE - West Washington Market (Seattle/Puget Sound Region)

      By PedroDaGr8 · Posted

      Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By radem · Posted

      I think it is likely that T-Mobile will be forced to honor any existing US cellular roaming agreements in those areas as a condition of them taking over the spectrum.  In that case, there would be no improvement of service unless T-Mobile improves the service offering in those areas.
