Network Vision/LTE - Lower Central Valley Market (Fresno, Bakersfield, Visalia)

[Oedipus]

No outward signs of activity, but I'm always watching that one because it's on my way to work.

[Dkoellerwx]

First LTE site accepted in the Lower Central Valley market. It's in Coalinga. It's also CDMA 800 accepted. 

[Oedipus]

Not only is it in coalinga, it's in the part of coalinga that reminds me of "breaking bad."

What time did u go by when I passed by again around 8 one truck was there if I see them again I will stop by and ask

[Oedipus]

It was at about 5 PM.

[Mikeclar]

I also drive by there to and from work daily, didn't notice anything this morning but wasn't looking for it either. Will keep my eye out. Not going that way tomorrow though. Usually get a very good signal there (I stream music in my car) a couple blocks in either direction is not so good! LOL! Especially around first and Ashlan, calls are very iffy there.

Robert indicates it might be LTE 800 too.

 

Naturally, theyd build that in the one place no one wants to go

My 3G in Tulare has been off most of the day does anyone know about that

[Robbarajas87]

Yeah same here, my 3g hasn't been working right since yesterday but I haven't seen anyone around the towers lately

3G in the Visalia/Tulare area has been troublesome the past few days. I was in contact with Sprint Tuesday and they saw there were data problems with my local tower in Visalia and submitted a trouble ticket for it. Call Sprint and let them know so they can look into it. So far it seems to be rolling data blackouts at times.

Kingsburg is in progress.

Wow coalinga huh

[LoQHeeD]

Shepherd and Maple here. Have always had pretty decent speeds and signal here, this is off-peak but regardless. These speeds are pretty good for sprint 3g anywhere in Fresno.

[Oedipus]

Very nice. The sucky thing is that, based on your location, you're probably being served by a stealth tower. Can't go check it for updates...

[Mikeclar]

Wow! That is good! Over 2 is very rare!

[Roxas13ven25]

Today at around 4 while I was at my house I noticed I had 1-2 bars which I usually have 3-4 so I got off my wifi and noticed it said lte and checked my speed and it was awesome and now it's still showing lte but once in a while turns back into 3G while I'm still at my house which is located in the southern part of Tulare ( I don't know how to post a sc on here haha so sorry)

I was passing by Ashlan and cedar and seen sprint working on the tower there have no clue what they were doing but had 5 trucks there

 

I went by there again tonight. There's three sites on that corner: One is Sprint, one is AT&T, and the other is VZW, Tmob, or Cricket. There was a lift and a couple of dudes working on the AT&T site. Why I have no clue, but that's probably what you saw.

 

I happened to drive by another site that is nearby a few days ago and saw two guys inside the enclosure checking things out. It looked like one of those "there's where the wires go, Jim" type of things, but progress is progress.

I've seen them working on them for the last 5 months, They usually only take a day or two from what I've seen. Yesterday I seen more antennas go up by Loves looked liked sprint to me

It takes a few days for the equipment itself to be installed, but it will still have paperwork and inspections to go through, too. I'm not sure of the time frame that Tulare and Visalia look at between completion of installation and acceptance. Perhaps MacinJosh can chime in when he can...

[Oedipus]

Sites in Visalia that were built in July still have not been accepted.

[matthew23319]

The one on Ashlan and cedar is near the recycling place and that's where I seen them working that day .. Because I am aware of the att and the t mobile tower all in the same location .

[Mikeclar]

I had read that att was doing the backhaul work for Sprint. Is that a possibility? Saw an att truck by the clovis and ashlan tower this morning as well.
