here is an interesting article on an alarming trend among wireless providers. Especially with sprint hiring the most employees to handle these requests.

 

What happened to companies protecting their customers!?

I think the whole "sprint will notify its customers in june regarding LTE" was a ruse to smoke him out.

That could very well be. Interesting to consider.

 

If this is the case, Sprint would be smarter not to fire him. Because then he becomes a martyr who has a large audience he can now turn negative on Sprint to. What they do is confront him, write him up and make him sign scary legal documents that say he expressly cannot write blogs or express opinions about Sprint now and up to two years after leaving Sprint.

 

And 99% of people would sign that over losing their job. Especially in this economy. It could explain why it just petered out instantly. Who knows?

Some of them are emotionless robots. I didn't say all of them.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
