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 a flight instructor. Flew over SE Fresno today and got LTE between SE Fresno and Fowler . Took a screenshot of exact location

but can't upload. File too big.

 

If sbdy wants the screenshot I can send via email. The location was between Fowler and Sanger just northwest of Del Rey

If this happens to be the Sprint tower there being worked on, that is close to where my parents live. I'll be in that area in a few weeks. I'll take photos.

Yes it's a sprint tower it's also my home tower, it's the one I've been watching the most. I'm surprised they're working on it on a Sunday,

From what I've been hearing, they are in a rush to get the equipment upgraded. That's a good thing.  :)

Also working on the one @ Clovis ave and Dakota today with a similar orange lift. They've been up on this tower on and off for the past couple months. Late nights and weekends inclusive. Nothing really changed in the signal though there are spikes on 3g up over 2mbs. Pretty steady most of the time between 700 kbs and 1mbs. No lte yet. This is consistently better than before I guess. But they are up there a lot.

It's nice to be able to use LTE here in Visalia. :) I'm at the Sprint store waiting to trade my Sprint Phone Connect with a Nexus 5. :D

All I know is when I tell my friends from up here that I'm going to visit my family down there, they know to not take it personally if I don't pick up the phone because it's usually because I have no reception. Glad to hear things are starting to look up in the valley.

Just some info... Don't know if something similar has been posted. I just can't wait! :)

I wouldn't believe what a sprint rep tells you.

 

They are notorious for lying. Go by what the reports on this forum says. Much more accurate!

To their credit, they're not lying, just reading exactly what is found in their tools provided by Sprint. The trouble with that is 100% of the towers in the LCV have said 4G to be upgraded in the next 90 days since at least May.

 

*edit - not 100% but the majority of towers*

There is, as far as I know, exactly one site in Fresno with new hardware up on the tower. I have not seen any tower/cabinet activity on any of the others, and I have made it my mission to drive around like an idiot just for the sake of checking them. On the plus side, a large number of these sites do have evidence of backhaul/utilities activity.

Thanks guys! I just want it already. I was in Visalia and I had 4G the whole time around Packwood creek shopping center. Also, Selma has is too. I'm just jealous, because I'm in Fresno half of the time and nothing. lol!

I feel the same way as you. I live in a part of Visalia that still has no LTE. :/ it's going to come soon.

Hi there - I just joined the site and I live in Northwest Visalia.  I just switched back to Sprint from crappy T-MO.  Where in Visalia have you seen LTE?  Also, I have the Note 3 which obviously doesn't support Spark.  Did the phone that you use that got LTE in Visalia support Spark or just the single 1900 band?  Thanks!

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
