I don't have anything that is postable. Just the word of a Samsung employee who does testing of the 3g/4g after the work is complete. I have seen emails on the guys phone that has tower id #'s but it all showed green bay in the email he scrolled through.

That was last week and now green bay has some 4g showing up.

I'd say he's pretty reputable.

I picked up LTE on National Ave right by Culvers today in New Berlin.  Didn't get a chance to use it once I noticed it though since I drove out of the LTE signal pretty quickly (which unfortunately seems to be the case for Sprint service in general in this area).

With Fitchburg being tested last week I wouldn't be surprised to see more work going on surrounding Madison that will work it's way in.

 

Alright, you win.  Irish Lane tower has NV equipment on it in Fitchburg.  Not broadcasting (that I can get)

I'm not that type of guy... But I told ya. :P

I have no clue exactly which towers were tested all I know is the majority were drive tested for signal strength.

Ha ha. I'm ecstatic that it's done! If this gives even the slightest signal to McKee Farms Park, I'll be real happy. I went by there 2 weeks ago and nothing was done on it. They're flying now.

Interesting... 3 possible towers involved and I would say it's most likely the Calhoun and Cleveland Tower. I think I confirmed with another poster last month that Calhoun has NV equipment up. Its possible though  unlikely that it could have been the water tower on I-43 and Mooreland and very highly unlikely that it would have been the National and Racine Ave Tower. I believe that tower has NV on it too. Oddly I drove by the Water Tower on I-43/ Mooreland yesterday getting on the freeway and I noticed trucks working down below at the base. Hopefully this is work for Sprint. I guess it Sloooowly keeps creeping south west towards me, but this is good news. I will head that way tomorrow and try to track this too...

Although the Note 3 posts should be kept in the Note 3 thread/section, just to keep things on track or on topic, I will say that the following,..

Disappointed that the Note 3 is not a tri-band, yes, but the average joe will not know or care to know whether the device (or any other device) has 800 LTE since the previous Note only had the one band. It would be business as usual. Most would go for the device just on the upgraded features and hardware.  For those in the know, then having a tri-band device is a given. 

Then again, some like myself, have either 1- no issues with signal in the areas they use Sprint, or 2- Are not expected to get 800 LTE soon. So getting a new device that isn't tri-band for a year (if one does the One up plan) would be fine and then next year get the updated device that would have 800 LTE as well as have more sites in their areas turned on.

I did see that more towers south of Madison (pretty much all of them because its so sparse) just got accepted for 3G, which is good because that means the NV equipment is in place, just not the backhaul.  That's encouraging too!  I'm off to Baltimore until Monday, looks like they've got the 4geez pretty much every where I'll be, so I'll run some speed tests.  hopefully its better than San Francisco.  And hopefully those chumps working on my Fitchburg tower will get up the equipment.

I could throw a baseball and hit the antennas across from my room on the other building though :-)

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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?
