Sprint is really slow on upgrading fresno .. I have a buddy who works for t mobile and he says he knows a few people who are doing sprint upgrades and they are having issues with landlords getting to the sites and getting enough equipment to work on the sites .. That there currently on back order ...

Can you please ask your friend if tmobile is adding backhaul to their reedley site? When I had them their supposed 3g was slow as dialup.

Exeter does. The farmersville site does not, last I checked.

 

That's just two sites, though. Fresno has like 20.

 

55* in the Fresno cluster. 

 

Yes, I counted.

Lol, it doesn't always feel like there's that many.

 

Now it's a race between Sacto and Fresno...

 

Fresno will beat greater sacramento MTA as we do have 4x more sites than fresno up here (200ish iirc) and are way behind.

Fresno looks to be a quick build and cluster launch coming in the very super near future. Oh how exciting!

Lots of activity this morning!

 

 

 

 

Fresno: Ashlan and Ceder

 

Also several trucks at Clovis ave and Dakota (sorry no time to stop and get photos). Hopefully getting closer .... 

 

If you're not careful, you're going to run into me lurking on that site. They put the RRUs in today:

Another Fresno site in progress:

Couldn't stop close to this one, so I had to take the pic while in motion. There were at least three CBA trucks at this site. It looks like the new base hardware is in place, but I didn't get much of a window to look into the enclosure.

Been following this site for a long time as I wait for LTE to finally drop in Fresno. Happy to hear that we might  get to see some LTE FINALLY. Quick question about the towers. How far do these towers send out the LTE signal. I work on Ventura and Santa Fe here in Fresno by the train station, and I get HORRIBLE 3G signal out here. I just want to know if I'm getting excited about LTE for nothing, seeing that I spend most of my day here on this side of town. Will I get to enjoy the future awesomeness of LTE?? :D Thanks for any info on this.

How far the signal goes is unique to each site and how it's set up. PCS LTE will roughly cover the current EVDO footprint, and SMR LTE will expand on that a little bit. If you have, or upgrade to, a tri-band device, you will be set.

If you get a crappy signal now, you're not going to see much of an improvement until 1x 800 and LTE 800 are deployed. LTE 1900 might reach your location, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Unfortunately, the downtown sites are structure-mounted, so their deployment cycle will likely be longer than the standard pole-mounted sites.

    • You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.
    • 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.
