So is LTE on up there now or just small area's?

It's not activated in all of Tulare it's just mainly around Loves gasoline station as mentioned by

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 :)

I'm going to take a cruise over there hopefully I can connect to it. At my house I can only connect to the tower by the Tulare St exit off the 99

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...

I'm pretty sure this is the sprint tower signal that I'm getting. It's a stealth site as you said it's actually a giant cross in front of the church, and based off of the tower information is owned by Ubiquitel, which was purchased by sprint back in 2006. As I mentioned, I've always had really good Sprint coverage around here even during peak times (typically 1 meg minimum). The one thing that I've noticed a drastic improvement on lately has been the latency usually being in the 70-100ms range. 

 

Being that this is probably never going to be a Network Vision site that will be upgraded any time soon, does that also mean that I won't get LTE coverage for a long time as a result? I'm not sure how stealth sites play into network vision, but if that's true I'd be pretty sad (even though I use WIFI at home, it'd be nice to have for when I"m out and about in the neighborhood walking the dog.

How close are you to 99? I'll be driving down through the area this morning on my way to Shafter for work.

 

 

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...

 

And as Oedipus said, July was when they got the 1st 2 of the 4 Sprint sites in the City of Visalia done. A third one has an issued permit, but as of 1 1/2 weeks ago, it wasn't done. That may have changed. Things are much different in my life right now, and I haven't had the time to drive my the site and look yet.

I've been following this for a while now but decided to finally comment because I found LTE in Fresno, CA! Not sure how long it's been there but I haven't heard anybody mention it so I thought I'd bring it up!

 

Looks like a site was accepted in Firebaugh just in the last couple of days.

No, that's not where it is. The site in question is on the east side of the 99. It wasn't even in progress when I checked it out about 2 months ago.

    • Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
