Just did that. It appears that I am on a different tower...so that might be it.

That sucks. So close, yet just a little too far. :(

Sorry. Ming and Hughes. I went up Real rd and did sort of a circuit west on Stockdale to California ave and back to Ming via 99. Never lost it though the speeds are horrible.

Then I went back up 99, west on Rosedale, and lost it for a minute around Patton. Then picked it up again at Rosedale and Coffee, where I now sit.

Looking back on the Sensorly map, it looks like strong signal may be had south of New Stine and Stockdale.

Fresno/Clovis and Sacramento are the only sizable launches that are left in the civilized part of CA... Even the funkytown that is Madera is 3G accepted.

 

I don't know where Sac town stands but Clovis is probably next. Fresno... Fresno is mystifying.

Fresno may be having a contractor problem as well. There's still only one city site that is done, and that was done back in September or October.

 

Speaking of October, the permit for the Clovis rodeo grounds site has been issued for about that long. Have they done anything to the site yet? Nooooooo, of course not. Why would you bother working on the site that would be right in the middle of a nice 3G cluster launch? I'm wondering if it will be one of those "accepted" sites like the one south of Fowler, the one off akers/198 in Visalia, and the one west of Farmersville; 3G accepted, but no new panels. What sucks about the rodeo site is that I would have to go into full blown lurk mode in order to get a peek at the base station.

 

Given that there's a middle school and a neighborhood playground right beneath the site and the police station just down the street, I would probably end up being noticeably absent from S4GRU for a period of time to be determined by a judge.

Sacramento will be the absolute last top 50 market to be launched by Samsung. It's the battle of the losers at this point for who will be the last major area in California to be fired up by Samsung.

The one west of Farmersville? Is that the Acequia site in east Visalia? Or the one off Farmersvill Blvd?

Ah, not west. North of farmersville.

Oh, ok. Remember, cluster launches are usually not all the towers in an area, but almost all. Circumstances can keep 1 or 2 behind the rest. Bakersfield had 2 in that massive cluster launch that weren't accepted.

I have seen the mapping of LTE on Sensorly but unfortunately, I have yet to connect.  I was over at Famous Daves by Coffee and Rosedale last night and had no luck.  It appears to be more towards the South West areas of Bakersfield.

    • 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.
