Members...   Several of you are not sponsors, so you cannot view the Network Vision sites completed maps.  You really have no solid idea how slowly or quickly Network Vision deployment is progressin

Very exciting. For anybody that is in a completed market once finished is data constantly working. When I am downtown in Milwaukee during rush hour my speech to text doesn't work which is making me think about switching to big red but if the nv will fix that issue I can wait it out.

Just get a Jelly Bean 4.1+ OS Android Device. Native on board speech to text. No network needed.

Good thought though the battery life on my epic touch running jb is terrible.

 

JB is pretty battery efficient for me. I have not had any battery issues at all.

 

Hopefully we will be seeing the first LTE tower getting lit up by the end of the month

Any new Sprint antennas on this tower. Something is being done, they have a machine heating up the ground going to a phone connection. What's going on? This is tower 1267131. ML03XC106 :)

 

Watch for any changes on the top 2 racks.

It always seems the tower by the Airport gets new Cell Tower equipment first. This might be one of the first to go live. Keep us posted.

I saw people working on a tower in Wauwatosa and downtown on the building with the Allen Edmonds billboard last night.

 

All these anecdotal updates are great but how does/can anyone know if any of these relate to NV Sprint LTE work?

If we can get an approximate address we can check the sprint tower maps and cross reference permits for the address.

Not really in the city of Milwaukee. I'm checking a few sites that I have found by address. I used google maps using the satelite feature a lot. I'm down for people sharing looking up different locations and have said so, but nobody took me up on the offer.

Looks like one of the towers just north of Wauwatosa by North and 50th have a permit out from 1/23/2013:

I still haven't found a way to look up towers within the Tosa city limits, but ones in the Milwaukee city limits are being permitted.

I was taking a look at the Milwaukee area spectrum holdings and had a question. I do not see SMR 800 spectrum listed for Sprint or Nextel in the Milwaukee area. Has it not been filed yet or does Sprint not have licenses for SMR 800 in Milwaukee?

I also looked at Milwaukee and did not see SMR 800 listed by Sprint. I am not sure how filing into this system works but, when you use this website to look at the Chicago market (where SMR 800 has been deployed) there are again no licenses shown for Sprint. Like I said, I'm not really sure how this all works, but I think there can still be hope for SMR 800 in Milwaukee.

The only places that will not be getting 800 SMR are locations along the Mexican and Canadian boarder in the exclusion zones, and Puerto Rico. Otherwise, Sprint has nationwide 800 SMR holdings, though slightly restricted in the Southeast due to SouthernLINC's 800 holdings.

Yup, it's a good sign that means in the next few months work should start there. I'm in Wausau and have had ehrpd since Jan 1st.

one tower in the market permits

http://www.city.fitc...778Blizzard.pdf

 

This permit is the only lead I have for lte deployment in the Madison area. The tower is a little bit out of my way to get to but I'll for sure start driving out there every other week if not once a week to check on it's progress. What should I be looking out for in terms of changes to the tower?

I agree. A picture of what their antennas look like or what to look for would be very helpful. PICTURES.

      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....
