was you inside a building or outside... where was you when you picked it up

I was driving down Colerain Ave from 275 to Galbraith. The speed test I posted was from inside my house.

did it specifically say spark and hd, I received only a generic text saying the network would mostly be completed in the next month, for Hamilton

Just received a txt from Sprint.

"SrintFreeMsg: Over the next month, the new network will be largely completed in your area."

This is in reference to the Fairfield, OH area.

That text went out to almost every Sprint subscriber. Even ones who no longer live in a Sprint coverage area. The consensus is it is just marketing, and doesn't mean much. Don't get expectations up too much.

 

We know that work is pretty far along in Ohio, however the fact that the text went out to pretty much everyone means it has little to do with the actual state of your network, and has more to do with keeping subscribers.

 

Once the weather improves a bit, and crews get to get out there and do some work, we should start to see clusters of NV sites coming online soon in Cincinnati and surrounding areas.

 

Robert got the text too.... in South Dakota ... where he's had his billing address listed for some time. Where there is no Sprint network.

I know the messages are fairly generic, that's why i asked if his directly said spark and hd as he stated, that part caught me off guard because I assumed they were as you said

Ahh. The link in the text talks about HD voice and Spark. That's probably why he said that.

Former Clearwire (Wimax) sites in Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland are all being upgrade to band 41 TD-LTE. Many are all ready complete and a large percentage of the remaining sites will be done in the next 3 months....

    • Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
