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

[MacinJosh]

Of course they haven't updated it. There's no reason for them to.

 

At this point, not even extra T-1's are worth being listed on the network.sprint.com maps. I just wish that things would start progressing there soon.

 

Oedipus, is your profile pic a cat with beaver-like teeth and eyes?

Some activity not the kind I expected. Any idea what they are putting up?

A microwave of some sort. Not sure who it's for though. I guess we will know for sure in the near future.

It's not a cat, but I forget what it is. It's some weird European woodland creature.

Well there's a smaller one above it. Is this for voice?

I don't know.  Is Clear on that tower?

This is the farmersville tower.

Later I will look it up once I'm on the road.

They are constantly working on a cell tower at the intersection of Fresno and "P" as I can see them from my office window.  Not sure what they are doing, but we still haven't gotten any better 3G.  I am just glad that I am able to get Wimax where I sit.

 

I was in Mendota today, how the heck do they get LTE while the big city gets nothing?

That's not a sprint site.

They only have one tower

Yeah, I'm impressed that the signal reaches as far as downtown. It probably fades out pretty quickly once you start getting some buildings in the way.

What floor are you on the you get wimax?

 

I never got wimax downtown at street level.

[Mikeclar]

The only time we've gotten wimax was at courthouse park downtown. Worked well there but that's it. Surrounding vicinity... not so much (my wife has an EVO). Works well in LA and parts of the bar area though. 

[MacinJosh]

Well, despite how bad the network is in Fresno, I was still able to use Apple Maps to get someone directions. And there were times that I wondered if I'd get any data, but in the end it was better than I expected. PS, I was at the fairgrounds all day.

WiMAX in Visalia was always hit or miss for me. I hope they add some new towers when they start doing their broader band 41 deployment.

I am on the 4th floor of the State building on the East side facing Fresno Street.  The connection is either 1 or 2 bars but always connected.  Where would this tower be?

It's over near FCC.

[jamesinclair]

More specifically Blackstone and I think Mckinley.

 

That tower always gave me garbage range though. Like half mile on a good day with a GS2.

 

Thats why its so surprising you have it downtown, although sensorly shows other people got it to.

"was able to use data" is not a ringing endorsement...

I must admit that the 3g at the fairgrounds is really good, I was totally able to use the phone last year when we went to the fair, both indoors and out and it was very crowded! Close to 2.0 mbs.

Yeah, it's not that fast this year. However, if anyone from the Fresno areas wants to meet and hangout tomorrow at the fairgrounds, I will be back over there. Have an LCV S4GRU get together.

Man, I have meetings at CSUF all day.
