Network Vision/LTE - Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands Market


Gab2012

Recommended Posts

I called customer service in Puerto Rico (1-877-859-9696) and they told me that in December they has to be finishing all the works. Maybe December 1 Yauco are going to has Lte working.

 

Thanks for the tip, that would be a great christmas gift but in most of the cases, customer service know less that S4GRU readers, they only know when they're closer to the market launch I think.

 

The first sites in PR started to show in september, in 3 months we have around 60-65% completed NV sites, realistically speaking I don't think they're gonna finish the other 45% in a month, hopefully i'm wrong. I think february-march we should see more than 95% completed.

If all upgraded sites are going to get backhaul and LTE then they are nowhere near 65% complete.

That customer service is here in Puerto Rico. I call to report the signal and he told me that they are working in the NV and they hope to finish on December. We'll see.

I think that we could do onsite feedback to the forum in the mayaguez area so we can get a better idea of whats going on in "la sultana del oeste" without giving more work to Robert, we have some mayaguez or close towns members, we can do some NV antenna hunting.

 

Im gonna list the seven antenna locations so if you have a camera with a decent zoom, snap a pic and post it here so we can determine if it have NV equipment.

 

1) Video avenue rooftop (in front of Centro Medico, easy access)

2) Cerro las mesas (Bella Vista) after you pass the hospital and 7th day adventist church, is on the left of the road. (Easier to spot and to shoot pic)

3) I think we can see it from viaducto, is in the rooftop next to formerly stereo gema.

4) Downtown (around howard johnson hotel). Dont know exactly location, is on one of the rooftop around that area.

5) Mayaguez Terrace traffic light, its on the rooftop of one of the buildings closer to nestle.

6) In front of the "Vertedero", (probably easy to take pics)

7) The last one is on the Zoo road and PR 351 road, never been around that area so dont know how easy is to spot it.

 

Happy hunting!!

 

Here is the last one. Hope this help.

 

PS- Location was easy, since it had a sing :)

Here's the downtown site. There were several arrays of antennas. The firs pic was taken from Candelaria street, along Mayaguez' Cathedral side. The second pic was taken from Ricomini Bakery.

Thanks again Toyrunner, on the second one we can see clearly the RRU behind the panel, a clearly sign of NV installed, according to antennasearch its only a sprint site and mayaguez taxi services, so 2 of the 7 sites have nv equipment.

 

Toyrunner did you check if you get eHRPD in those sites?

I agree that HTC makes better hardware but they are both almost identical in other regards.

I know, but my old evo 4g rooted it had a rom almost identical to the stock new evo. My friend has one and I had the opportunity to play around and felt like it was the same phone... I wanted something different....

I wanted to keep mine but it died after i ran over it with a truck and even though it had an otterbox cover it suffered internal damages and besides i got almost 60$ for trading it!!!!

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
