I drove by Henderson yesterday afternoon and couldn't find any LTE, so don't feel too bad. :(

Enjoy it when you get back as I won't be visiting the area for probably a long time to scoop anything on the sites out from under the locals. Had a good time, marked it off the bucket list, but just not my cup of tea for repeat vacation locations.

Well the important thing is that you had fun. Hopefully you also supported the local economy vigorously and left lots of loot here. :D

Not really... we kinda did the extreme couponer thing there as my wife is pretty good at it. We didn't gamble too much since she hit a decent little slot jackpot on Fremont the first day. I really enjoyed the trip to Hoover and various places out in the middle of no where around Lake Mead. Now that's my kind of thing. Being from Louisiana, my idea of an awesome repeat vacation involves mud, fishing, guns, four wheelers, beer, and fire in the middle of no where. But I like I said I still had a great time.

Actually I got and mapped out on sensory some 4G action, Tropicana and Ft. Apache. I noticed it while I was at Panera Bread. I decided to use sensory to see how far I could go east (on my way home) along Tropicana this morning. Looks like it stops at Buffalo.

Speed test showed the following while I was in the parking lot at Panera Bread on Fort Apache:

Just wanted to share my discovery this morning! Another interesting note is the time it took me to get from Fort Apache to home, sensolry took my battery down 10% haha.

Yeah it'll do that, since it keeps your screen on, searches for GPS constantly, and uses your data connection all at the same time. That's why I only run Sensorly when I have my phone on the charger!

 

Good find though! Glad to see Las Vegas finally starting to fill in a bit.

I was in the vicinity so I went by the Boulder Hwy./Gibson site and did a little mapping with Sensorly. :tu:

Can you add that serving cell to the spreadsheet with corresponding site ID? I would but I'm in a meeting until later.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
