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

Jusy drove past this intersection again (Sunday @ 6:15 PM) and they are still out there working. Highly unusual- they have been up to something all weekend and seem to be in a huge hurry to get something done. Signal has been on all weekend and haven't noticed anything unusual with it.

Should ask them and see if they will give you any info

Yes, Yes it is.  But to be fair when I go to Morro Bay I can usually connect my phone to my laptop using PDAnet and I can stream Netflix with no issues and I usually get close to 2MBPS down on my Note 2.  Not sure why it's so strong on 3G there but sucks here sometimes

Legacy 3G in Visalia is horrible. I'm sure they are using at&t for the T1 lines, and at&t sucks here in Visalia. When U-Verse Internet is capped at 3Mbps where I am at, and I can't have UVerse TV, it's bad, really bad.

Bottom rack being worked on looks like Sprint, but someone else should verify that.

Without seeing a before and after it is hard to say, but my gut says that's tmobile on the bottom.

This is going to be an exciting time for this Galaxy Note 2 owner, 4.3 update released today, LTE in 8-12 weeks (hopefully).  I'm just hoping it's not hyperbole and Sprint can deliver on everything they have said and makes it where I do not need to have an AirRave anymore in my house. 

 

Thanks again for all the hard work everyone who posts here, it's great to have an all in one resource for this.

Yeah that would be about right. I was down in tulare last Friday and at least one of the sites was offline entirely, but lte is definitely present there and in the other areas you mentioned. Unfortunately, as of late I haven't seen any new tower activity anywhere in my spheres of travel.

If Sprint is going to do a cluster launch in Clovis and the Clovis addresses in Fresno county, there's four sites off the top of my head that are holding things up; Two out near Clovis East, one near Home Depot on Shaw, and one near the rodeo grounds.

 

The city of Fresno is a long ways off, by the looks of things.

at this point it would be nice if they would bring on what they could and then finish the rest as it gets done but that's just me.

 

That was the plan but then eCFSB gaps came to light and was recognized by Samsung during june-july time frame. Everything got thrown out the window as they raced to finish as many sites as possible so that Sprint subscribers can actually use triband devices which were imminent (S4 Mini and Mega had passed through  FCC and LG G2 + Nexus 5 shortly afterwards). 

 

Acceptance testing takes many hours to do by inspectors / technicians that could be spent on converting another site. Peak conversion rates have been in effect since September and major cluster launches have been happening in many Samsung markets. Most markets appear to have a December - January time frame to get sites up and running at least on the 3G side. The holiday season is upon us along with winter and they have to get this sorted out for the winter sales.

That Firebaugh speed is pretty bad, considering all of three people must be conected with LTE to that tower

 

Also, why no sensorly?

I tried to turn Sensorly on and record/map but the app would not let me.  It gave me an error.  Once I was back in 3G land it worked perfect again.

That sucks. Used to happen to me with wimax all the time.

 

OMG WIMAX MUST MAP

 

....and sensorly wouldnt let me.

    • 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.
