Yes, unfortunately. I had to jump to the dark side for a couple years until data speeds were fixed. St. Cloud was not Sprint's model market.

Makes sense man, I've been satisfied so far with the speeds and coverage. (13 years as a customer now).

 

I recently took a road trip with the girlfriend to PA for wine tasting and fresh fruit picking, and was impressed with the coverage. We were able to stream Pandora on her iPhone for the entire trip from NY.

Things like this are why us IT majors in my Marketing classes didn't have a good time. Marketing is all about fluff and appearance. IT is all about cold hard numbers and performance.

 

LOL...I loved my marketing classes in college, walked away a double major, IT and Management (Marketing concentration). I learned how to market the cold hard numbers in a very perceptive way.

 

One of my senior projects in a marketing class involved me creating a cell phone, and marketing it. Including use-case studies, customer feedback, etc. It was mockup and theory, but still ;)

Does anybody know when the expected date of all of the network vision to be 100% completed?

I believe by end of 2013-into 2014? I think that's what I read from the announcements.

Yeah, I had 11 years with Sprint, but my phone had pretty much the same connection as my wi-fi only tablet around town, so I had to fix that. My commute was fine, but I roamed on Verizon most of the time at work and St. Cloud was completely overloaded.

Makes perfect sense, why use something that doesn't work?

 

Hopefully once NV is complete, you look at us (Sprint) again.

Do you like Verizon? In your honest opinion?

 

Ha! I like their coverage and data speeds. I work in BFE (north of little falls MN) and live in St. Cloud MN and have LTE all day except for about 10 miles of my commute. I have good in building coverage at work. That is where the "like" ends. Their store employees are a bunch of idiotic a-holes, they don't care one bit about inconveniencing you. They have an attitude that they are the best and you have the privilege to use their network, not that they have the privilege to serve you as a customer. I nearly canceled my service at first, but it made no sense to go with any other carrier. Plus, it runs me about 20 more per month for 3 smartphones with 4gb per month per line than with sprint. I might pay the etf when nv comes through.

That sounds about right with what I'm hearing here. Thanks for the honest opinion.

Des anybody know if downtown Chicago has sprint lte yet.

It's kinda off topic but no, it does not. NV is working from out to in in the Chicago market, so downtown will be last. Give it another 2-3 months.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
    • Same with factory unlocked
    • June security update is out (S22U TMO)
