Donated, but forgot to include my user name. :blink:

 

I was able to figure it out from your email. No problems. You're already upgraded.

I donated a little while ago today. I understand it may take a while to get upgraded, but I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Will there be a password or acknowledgement email sent to me once I'm given 'Sponsor' status? The PayPal email address and the email I used in my profile are different, but I did include my username in the notes for the donation.

 

I understand you probably have a lot more going on than just updating accounts, but I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything.

 

Thank you!

I just donated, but I forgot to include my user name in the paypal comments.  (Even though I kept reminding myself to do it every step along the way!)  Sorry about that...I feel like a dunce.

You're good to go.  I upgraded you once I got out of my meeting.  Thanks for supporting S4GRU.

Just gave a small donation to help out the site. Hopefully i'll be able to give more when I get out of college.

 

We appreciate your monetary donation.  Additionally, you have been doing a nice job of answering questions and posting solid info in The Forums.  So, you are helping S4GRU in more ways than one.

What kind of maps should i get from just donating?

what are 'some interactive maps'

 

The maps show you the location of all Sprint sties across the country, as well as a near-daily updated map showing Network Vision progress across the country. This allows you to know exactly which towers in your community have had 3G, 4G and 800 SMR upgrades. We also have some members that have taken it upon themselves to create more detailed maps tracking the rollout in their specific markets. These are pretty cool to look at, and give you a very good idea of where the rollout is in your area.

Yes, there is a map for Hawaii, and this is all available to regular Sponsors. 

 

Premier sponsors have access to additional information, but for the most part everything you need to know is at the Sponsor level!

Do it! It's worth it. You can tell where they are and which sites are giving you connection and their speeds etc. Next thing you catch yourself physically checking to see if the upgrade has begun or is completed.

I just donated but didn't put my user name in, does that matter. Also where do we go for the additional sponsor info when approved

Since Robert is on vacation, it may take some time for your account to be upgraded. Sponsor information is in the sponsor section, front page of the forums.

I was able to figure it out from your email address. I upgraded you immediately after waking up at my campsite. I get "one bar" of service. Enough to text, upgrade members and do a little Tapatalk posting. I should be able to do upgrades immediately so long as I have a signal and awake. ;)

You should have known better when you chose the S One Bar Ranch for your campsite.

I usually get your references. But that one is over my head.

You have lived in the West for most of your adult life and you do not recognize the very common "Letter + Bar Ranch" name/brand convention (e.g. Ted Turner's Z Bar Ranch in Kansas)?  And you call yourself a geography buff...

 

It is a good thing that you are not at one of Turner's ranches in Montana, though.  He has one there called the Bar None Ranch.  And that is undoubtedly perfectly fitting for native Sprint signal.

 

:P

Just put in my donation as I love this site, but I forgot to put my username in the comments. Any issue this may cause?

No issues. ;)

Looks like my membership level wasn't upgraded automatically. Can an admin update my level?

I didn't have service when you donated. I upgraded you when I got back onto coverage. Only an hour or so after you donated. Thanks for supporting S4GRU.

    • Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
