Look like LTE is up in and around the Graystone Blvd area of Columbia... Not that you would know it from S4GRU as #1 The site isn't even on their map and #2 The map is 3 days old. smh

Are you really complaining about the map being only 3 days "out of date"?  Really?  If you haven't read it yet, Robert is just a touch busy -- but even if he wasn't -- 3 days?  I would LOVE to call Sprint and ask them to deactivate your LTE so that it is "accurate" on the map for you.

 

If I mis-read your post please disregard.  Long day, including BS customer complaints.

I dont know who Robert is. Sorry. Last few weeks the updates were very good.  Still, no one can answer why so many sites are missing from the Columbia Market.... Not trying to piss anyone off, just asking.

He is the owner of this site.  He does this for fun, not for you or me or money.

 

What do you mean by "so many sites are missing"?  He updates the maps in the sponsor section several times a week -- and posts a summary of that in the markets section when he does so.  There might be some live LTE sites around you that he doesn't know about yet or has a list that he hasn't posted yet... Or there might be some accepted sites on the map that haven't gone live yet, but what it really comes down to is his map gives you a good idea of where there is LTE or 800 etc -- but is by no means a definitive guide.

Sites are missing as in are in physical existence but not marked on the map in any way.

then that means it has not been reported as 3G or 4G or 800 updated yet.  Am I still missing the point?

 

If they are not on the master list that shows all sites -- then it is a new site (but that is very very rare)....

From what iden was saying, there's a tower on Greystone Blvd that is 4G live that isn't currently marked on the map at all. Could be because Robert has not had a chance to update since it went live or somehow some towers are falling through the cracks.

 

There was tower just up the road from my house I had to post in the in progress thread to have it marked on the map.

 

I guess the question is, are all tower marked on the map in some way regardless of update status or do they just show up once they're at least have the 3G updates completed.

I understand it as this:  all sites at some time get "officially" marked as done -- and Robert gets that list -- and it makes it on the map.  Can be on the map but not yet "live" or can be "live" but not yet "complete" (on list).

How about the rock hill area ? I mean there is a site listed as " in progress" for it least the last month or two.

That area has to be rolling any time now... Rock Hill is in the Charlotte market I thought... if so, they do not have much left to do there for the first round... if it is in the SC market, that market (well this market since we are in that thread) is rocking and rolling right now...

Yeah I noticed rock hill is considered part of the charlotte market but charlotte is basically done with the lte rollout and rock hill has yet to begin any upgrades what so ever. It's annoying considering rock hill is actually one of the bigger cities in South Carolina .. More people live here then in Greenville !

LTE coverage stops about 300 yards from my house. This sucks. And its my luck that this would happen I have been waiting for LTE and looks like I want get it on LTE 1900 . Guess I will have to wait on a tri band device and LTE 800, or I might need to move red pastures. LOL

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
