I haven't been out there in a while lol. BUT, I have heard how Sprint has seriously improved on that side of town. Last time i was down in that area, 4G was covering it. I played softball out there. And also, that's the fastest dl speeds by a carrier in Fort Wayne.. lol But that was before Verizon overhauled there a couple towers, now theirs like 16 panels lol

I added that to my list for the next update, yesterday. I was kind of shocked. Wasn't expecting any over there.

Well my mom lived there for eight years, flew in there a few times and most of the time roaming at the airport so much needed site.

They've been at here since Thursday, They removed all the USC and Nextel crap. Verizon made the tower ugly and ran the wiring on the outside of the tube. Verizon has also worked on this tower before sprint started. The people were out here all day!! It was 82, first real hot day of the summer. Also, what are the two cabinets on the left site? Each site here only has one on the side..

This was a USCC site as well? Not sure it will count as an iDen conversion then. Not that it diminishes the importance any.

It's part of Project Ocean and thus will be counted as a USCC Conversion.

Also a lot of antennas on this bottom rack!

Keep the info coming.  Thanks for the updates.

Yup, They must have been smoldering this week. I guess they don't work on Friday-Sunday, and I'm assuming the antennas are going to be put up some times next week since since the base station is nearly wired.

The highest point isn't always the best. Especially when you're trying to create a denser network.

That's true.. I thought it was the higher, the further. I'm sure equipment would have to be adjusted for that. But idk, I just find how everything works is amazing. :)

Shhh! Don't tell AT&T marketing. That's how they make the nation's strongest LTE signal!

    • 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....
