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

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.

      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.
