For those interested, the construction meeting went well. Bids are still being accepted from GCs at the moment, but they want to start soon, very soon.

Alright folks. Now that 2014 is here, we should see completion of LTE 1900 in the coming months with a robust 3G/1x800 network as well as see LTE800 start to light up towards the middle-to-end of the

I can verify that 1x800 is now active in Marion. Will post screenshot tonight when I get home from Columbus.

Do you get it everywhere in Marion or just one tower?

It is on on a tower on the other side of town too, but the tower on Barks Rd is still showing RTT.  I have been having some data issues this week, and called Sprint and they told me they expect all to be resolved by Monday.  I like how they are resolving the issue.....Now if I could just get a little LTE love...LOL.

It was fun getting to play while in Cbus this afternoon.  Gonna be awesome once everything is rolled out.

Unfortunately LTE coverage can be like state lines. One moment you're in Ohio a step Later you're in Pennsylvania. Once the Hilton Site and the Morse/Sunbury site is updated, that will be a thing of the past.

I know totally different markets, but it sucks seeing all the work happening in Lexington right now, and even seeing all the towers being completed in Cleveland area.

 

And yeah, stuff will start launching soon here and when they start, it'll spread pretty quickly. Since the one launched a couple weeks ago with nothing much since, just seems like they haven't been doing anything for two weeks. Even though I know that's not the case.

I blame it on the rain. 19 out of 21 days in a row. Including thunderstorms. That's a delay right there.

I would think they'd work through a lot of the rain, if possible. I'm going to assume that a lot of contractors don't get paid for weather problems.

I may be wrong, but I doubt they are approved to work in rain as bad as it's been. The hand/feet post becoming slippery, lightning is sporadic when raining, etc etc. Again, these are guesses, but what I think they're realistic.

Just plain rain, they'll probably work. Heavy thunderstorms, likely not! We've seen tower crews working through rain, and even storms before. Though I'm sure it's not very common to work through storms.

We had some of both. Lot of rain in general, but some storms too. Still, they were probably able to get some work done on the ground. Climbing on the towers I could see them coming back to those towers when it wasn't windy or as wet.

We don't care about workers outside of the Central Ohio area....

Real nice. :P

 

But really, it's not that hot. Sounds like a typical summer day here in Missouri. I'm sure it's not slowing down those tower crews.

      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.

      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....
