Wow, just checked out Sensorly. Talk about coming through in the clutch! 4G at Summerfest! Things seem to be picking up quickly. Now i just need Aug 7th to come sooner so i can pickup my 800LTE Optimus G2.

Congrats Milwaukee on getting LTE within city limits. you now have more coverage than Madison has, even though  our sites were accepted before yours. Towns surrounding Madison have good lte coverage. It's like Madison is like the island from the movie Escape from LA. Sprint is afraid to go there. lol

Just watch, those who have Sprint LTE will get the best coverage at Summerfest :)

 

One thing I liked about having a Wimax phone in the past..  you could get a 4G Wimax signal at Miller Park from the tower near the airport.  I was able to get data while others struggled.

 

Now Sprint, next obvious should be Miller Park!

 

Hopefully the accepted sites map will be updated again soon.  It seems we are finding the towers (Summerfest area, Hartland area) before the map is updated.

Madison has always been an island.  An island I love.  :)

I couldn't get any 4G around the Summerfest grounds, even though I updated everything, toggled airplane mode, and turned off and and on my phone.  I did get 2211 down and 581 up with a ping of 131ms, which is much better than it is by my house.

Calvin200 which phone do you have? I tried to get LTE on 94 and had no luck. I have the EVO.

Yep, Evo LTE.  That's why I toggled and did everything I did.  I ran the tests between 430 and 5 today.  It didn't show 3G until I ran the tests, it just showed the bars. I was expecting 4G to pop up at any second.

Yea I had many issues connecting to LTE when I was in Tampa too. when I was running the LTE discovery app today on 94 I also had 30 seconds Of an unknown network and it did not show 3G or 4G.

I'm so happy to have Milwaukee to start coming online. Many of you don't even begin to know how much I have endured from Milwaukeeans since the creation of S4GRU. In WiMax and LTE Deployments. I'm happy for you guys, and glad the death threats will finally end. But at least I didn't get actual bombs in the mail like the Detroiters. :lol:

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
