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.

    • 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....
    • Welcome back! That's similar to my best (1250ish). A few people have broken 2000 on good sites. 
    • Lots of new multi-carrier nodes popping up in Bushwick. Crown Castle Fiber node at Ridgewood & Palmetto:   Crown Castle Solutions node at Irving & Jefferson:   Crown Castle Solutions node at Wilson & Noll:  
    • I’m surprised they’re running a 5x5 Band 66 carrier still. In NYC T-Mobile has 25x25 AWS and they’re running 20x20 Band 66 and 5x5 n66 (in testing). Presumably when n66 commercially launches they’ll drop Band 66 down to 15x15 and go straight for a 10x10 n66 carrier like they did with n25. 
    • Austin has now narrowed B2 to 15x15 to support a second 10x10 n25 channel, this time entirely in PCS A-F. So T-Mobile now has 35x35 FD (n71 + n25) and 180 MHz TD (n41) NR live here, and LTE single carrier bandwidth now tops out at 15x15. LTE is down to 5x5 B12, 15x15 B2, 10x10+10x10+5x5 B66, so they now have 5 carriers each of LTE and NR, with 45x45 total LTE.
