Silenze they look like they could be Sprint antennas, but I am an amateur and can't be sure. They could be on somebody elses tower? I tried to cut and paste a pic from Google maps, but it didn't work. Did you ask if they are doing work for Sprint? Can you cut and paste a picture from Google Maps? You can get a pretty good shot of the tower from street view. Narrow in on that address then do a street view from the highway. When zooming in on it don't do it from really close because it will mess up things that are up high.

It is looking like we might not see any towers going up for a few more weeks. I would not be surprised if work did not start in the Milwaukee area until mid year. Crossing my fingers for some LTE goodness ready for Summerfest/State Fair.

I know what grumpy old men would say about it... wish in this hand and crap in the other and see which gets filled first.

 

Work will start before then. Samsung will have all their markets started before the end of Spring. Maybe even sooner.

Man, it's so discouraging to see pretty much every other market around Milwaukee getting work done and sites in progress, but not a blip in Milwaukee yet. Even Iowa has a bunch of work starting... IOWA. I'm pretty sure there are more farms than cell phones in Iowa (I lived there for a couple years and I lived across the street from a corn field) :)

I have no sources in Wisconsin. So unless one of my corporate Sprint or Samsung sources provides info about Milwaukee, then we will likely just be surprised when something appears in the market.

 

However, my Samsung source has said that every Samsung market will be under way in the next 2-3 months. So no matter what, you can take solace in that.

January was the supposed, not written in stone, month to start the Madison Milwaukee market. Only one backhaul permit was pulled in this market, which was near Madison? What's going wrong?

 

I have no idea. All I can say is that NV work is running about 3 months behind schedule at this point. Since work was supposed to start in December in MKE market, we should get started no later than the end of March.

 

I did speak to a Samsung Engineer about a month ago who said that all the remaining Samsung markets will be under way in the Spring at the latest. He said Samsung's biggest issue is not backhaul, equipment or permitting but rather enough competent bodies to do the work. Also, Samsung has a little higher standard than many American companies and has already fired a few subcontractors. He said they fired one company in Washington already for not fulfilling the terms of the contract.

Any new info on Milwaukee? Didn't see anything about it on the map, or even Wisconsin as a whole!

 

Milwaukee is supposed to start before the end of Winter. But that's only 3 weeks away. It may start late. I'm waiting for more info.

Looks like you found the one of the first permits for Sprint in Mil. That address corresponds to a Sprint tower. Keep your eye on it and any other permits.

I found a list of the of the sites and actually used Google maps/satellite to look at roof tops. There is no way of looking at this one to see what they have done because I'm sure the area is secured. Edited by Calvin200

How are you checking these permits? I found the milwaukee DCD site and have been looking some up.

 

5361 N HOPKINS ST could be one as well. Can someone check or share the permit site you are checking?

      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....
