one tower in the market permits

Sweet! I'm glad to see something happening in the Milwaukee market, even if it is out by Madison. I'm guessing the next "Evo" phone will be out by the time LTE rolls around to the Milwaukee area so I won't even have to worry about the LTE connection issues with the Evo LTE. I guess that's a positive....right?

Looks like eHRPD went live today. :)

 

Where were you when you saw an eHRPD signal? I'm not quite sure how to look that up on the iPhone field test screen, but mine is only showing 1xEV-DO and 1x.

So excited! I was getting ehrpd yesterday too! Did it happen for the whole market? I did a speed test out in Waukesha, Brookfield, and then Greenfield and got ehrpd on all of them.

 

(I took this screen shot today, so this is a speed test from yesterday)

I'm in Waukesha and am getting Ehrpd now as well. I checked my last speedtest which was 2 weeks ago and that was evdo. So ehrpd went live in the last couple weeks. Getting about same speeds but latency and response seems better.

I'm not checking all the towers, but I'm not seeing any permits being pulled in the Milwaukee area.

 

 

Well... I wonder how they're going to approach the Milwaukee market. WIth ones like Chicago, they started on the outer edges and worked their way into the city... So I wonder if they would start way out on the western edge of the state and work through Madison, then Waukesha, then Milwaukee. I sure hope they just start right around Milwaukee and the suburbs. I live in Greenfield and work in Waukesha.

They will almost definitely work on Madison and Milwaukee at the same time. However, they may start on the outside of Milwaukee and work inward as you suggest.

I've tried Shorewood, the east side, downtown, and tosa without luck.

 

I'm getting eHRPD at work by the Zoo and also in downtown Tosa where I live. Have been for the past month or so. The one place I'm still not seeing it is out by Lovers Lane north of Mayfair. Might just be the tower I'm connecting to or the weak signal.

I'm crossing my fingers that any week now we'll see a Milwaukee tower marked as "in progress" or 4g complete in the weekly update. I just got a second job where having LTE and a slightly stronger signal would greatly help!

I saw a guy on the tower around 4148 N Green Bay Ave Milwaukee WI 53209. The southern most tower in the back of the abandoned car dealer right next to the freeway.

But apparently this is not a sprint tower. Keep your eyes peeled for work!

    • 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.    
    • 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?
