Well, in that part of town, it's people jonesing for a heroin/meth fix and/or scoping out prostitutes.

And I thought Vegas was bad for that stuff. smh

They are going to shut off my WiMax at the end of next year. What am I going to do?

You probably need to get a new phone. Considering that you have an EVO 4G, that phone while introduced in June 2010, reached EOL (end of life) on Jan 29 2012. So it is safe to assume that if you even bought the phone on the very last day before EOL, you are no longer under the typical 2 year contract and most likely eligible to get another phone without any ETF penalty. So if Wimax is being shut down in your area by the end of the year (if not sooner), and you are eligible to get another phone, I suggest you do so especially one of the tri-band one.

Actually my comment was a bit of humor.  With a year and eight months left for WiMax, I am hoping LTE comes on line here in Fresno before then.  My EVO 4G was bought the day it came out, and other than the USB port not working, it runs great.  I am able to get that WiMax signal where I work and it is just fine.  I can't believe how many other areas in the Central Valley have WiMax, and when I go out for business, it seems I always get 4G unlike Fresno.

I drove by the Farmersville tower yesterday and again confirmed its GMO-ness (same config for the site in Fowler and the one in Visalia at 198/Akers). It's possible that you were seeing the site at Ben Maddox and the 198 or you were seeing some rustling on the tower north of Exeter.

I was playing Ball at Jr high down street from farmersville tower when I noticed it was on I did a data reset and it stayed on then turned off when I walked away I also picked it up on Anderson rd going to Exeter, And on Belmont street. When I checked signal check app it said Farmersville but I know it can't be.

    • 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.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
