Holy!! The world is coming to an end!!!  I have LTE here, close to Park Gardens (Estancias Chalets).  It had to be implemented Today, as I check every single day.  It's still not mapped on Sensorly, though.  I can't because im using Iphone 5.   Awesome!  finally with LTE.  Running with arounf 15Mbs of download and 7Mbs of Upload.

here in st thomas we patiently waiting...got some insight that shit is happening :D!!..they setting up our towers n stuff..dont wanna rush it but damn! the wait is  killin me!

Well for the most part the towers are ready its just that backhaul needs to get installed.  Not sure what exact issues they are running into though.  As far as your "hook up"  I pray to god you not talking about anyone working at the lockhart garden store.

I am not on the island but is anyone experiencing any outages or crappy service right now?

I really don't know what the cause of these issues are but I am not surprised, nothing ever works right or goes over smoothly in the virgin islands and like I have said many times before, I knew puerto rico would go pretty quickly but the VI will have lots off issues.

Who should I kill first, the CEO of Sprint, the workers in the sprint store on st.Thomas, or the workers who work on the towers? >:|

Well I would blame the VI goverment, because after all these years its only now that they are investing in the islands infrastructure.  Nothing in the VI works as intended so I can't even be mad at sprint for this.  Every time I come to St. Thomas I have to deal with bad sprint service, then when I consider switching to at&t I am reminded by at&t customers that the grass is definitely not greener because they want to switch as well.  All I can say is thank god I don't live there but its tough since I am there for  business all the time.

Well for the most part that particular crew working there are clueless but that's expected.  I mean they are there to collect a paycheck and to do what they are trained to do and that's it.  You won't find too many wireless enthusiasts or tech heads working at any carriers store location.  The manager and assistant manager aren't too bad though but the rest of the staff is worthless.  I don't mean to come across so negative towards them but I have had way too many bad experiences dealing with those people and if I have no choice but to go to a store I try my best to wait until I get back to atlanta before doing so.

    • Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.
    • Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile. 
    • T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.
    • 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.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.
