Here we see a rare congregation of feral AT&T trucks, grazing in their native habitat behind the dollar store and recycling place. I did not dare stop my car, for your average AT&T truck start

Just did that. It appears that I am on a different tower...so that might be it.

That sucks. So close, yet just a little too far. :(

Sorry. Ming and Hughes. I went up Real rd and did sort of a circuit west on Stockdale to California ave and back to Ming via 99. Never lost it though the speeds are horrible.

Then I went back up 99, west on Rosedale, and lost it for a minute around Patton. Then picked it up again at Rosedale and Coffee, where I now sit.

Looking back on the Sensorly map, it looks like strong signal may be had south of New Stine and Stockdale.

Fresno/Clovis and Sacramento are the only sizable launches that are left in the civilized part of CA... Even the funkytown that is Madera is 3G accepted.

 

I don't know where Sac town stands but Clovis is probably next. Fresno... Fresno is mystifying.

Fresno may be having a contractor problem as well. There's still only one city site that is done, and that was done back in September or October.

 

Speaking of October, the permit for the Clovis rodeo grounds site has been issued for about that long. Have they done anything to the site yet? Nooooooo, of course not. Why would you bother working on the site that would be right in the middle of a nice 3G cluster launch? I'm wondering if it will be one of those "accepted" sites like the one south of Fowler, the one off akers/198 in Visalia, and the one west of Farmersville; 3G accepted, but no new panels. What sucks about the rodeo site is that I would have to go into full blown lurk mode in order to get a peek at the base station.

 

Given that there's a middle school and a neighborhood playground right beneath the site and the police station just down the street, I would probably end up being noticeably absent from S4GRU for a period of time to be determined by a judge.

Sacramento will be the absolute last top 50 market to be launched by Samsung. It's the battle of the losers at this point for who will be the last major area in California to be fired up by Samsung.

The one west of Farmersville? Is that the Acequia site in east Visalia? Or the one off Farmersvill Blvd?

Ah, not west. North of farmersville.

Oh, ok. Remember, cluster launches are usually not all the towers in an area, but almost all. Circumstances can keep 1 or 2 behind the rest. Bakersfield had 2 in that massive cluster launch that weren't accepted.

I have seen the mapping of LTE on Sensorly but unfortunately, I have yet to connect.  I was over at Famous Daves by Coffee and Rosedale last night and had no luck.  It appears to be more towards the South West areas of Bakersfield.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
