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. :td:

 

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      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.
