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

It's cool seeing the speedtests being posted however in my own personal experience I've yet to break 4Mbps. Not really a big deal since even with 1 bar of LTE it's been a fairly reliable connection all throughout town and will only get better the more towers go live.

Quick question.... What is a "legacy" tower? They keep calling Kerman's lonely tower this.  I have photo evidence that NV panels have been installed and that the cabinets were also being worked on.  What can this mean or is this just CS lingo to get you off the phone?

Legacy = non upgraded old equipment.

Legacy = non upgraded old equipment. 

But how can this be true when in fact is has been hardware upgraded (at least in the air)? Maybe it is all or nothing? So like the cabinet work wasn't all done but the tower panels are finished and this is still "legacy"?

A tower may have been physically upgraded but not active. In that case the legacy equipment is still running and thus the site is considered a legacy site. The moment the new equipment is turned on and the old equipment turned of is when the site is officially considered network vision upgraded and not legacy.

Just to lighten it up a bit. This is how I have felt as NV has been deployed.

 

If I am breaking forum rules, I apologize in advance.  But at least watch it first before deleting the post.   :lol:

I'm kinda fearful that Clovis wont 3G launch until Fresno is closer to 3G launch. Then again, Sacramento hasn't launched but the surrounding communities have.

 

Just freaking do it already. Knock down the Rodeo site if you have to.

...or put it on the adjacent, superior tower.

Poor Fresno.  I wonder if the city is just that difficult?  Fresno didn't get any reliable 4G wimax but it was promised.  And now is being left out of the LTE until last.  It has to be frustrating to know that Mendota received LTE before Fresno.  But I digress.  There is a lot of progress now vs. being left in wonderville.

    • 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.
