Network Vision/LTE - Milwaukee Market (including Madison)

The towers on the East and SE sides of Madison are broadcasting 1x800 and LTE. I got ~20mbps outside my office... and lost the LTE signal when I walked in.. Looking forward to 800LTE.

And you Madison people were so jealous of Milwaukee's progress before.... Look at yall now! Now WE are the ones sitting and watching you guys have all the excitement! :(

 

I haven't seen anything going on in the Milwaukee/Waukesha area :/ Anyone else have any new blips of LTE or 1x800 around Milwaukee?

 

Nope... just occasional blips of unusable LTE and 800 at home (800 is 16 miles away in Cedarburg, LTE is either from Waukesha or Hartland), but nothing new that I know of.  Hopefully they get done testing in Madison quick, or start to multitask testing here and there :).  Last time I checked Sussex/Lisbon, there was only one tower with NV equipment installed.  I'll check again tonight or tomorrow if I have time.

They are still working on the tower between Good Hope and Brown Deer (next to 43) today. It looks like they're in the cleanup stages, but I might be wrong. That's the last tower I know of that needed upgrades in the area, so it's possible they will start testing soon after they finish that tower (which means testing could come as early as Monday).

I still have the 800 signal on the west side.  I did not have enough coffee in me this morning remember to turn on my GPS while I was trying to map via sensorly.  Won't make that mistake again.  I have to head to Platteville this afternoon, so not much mapping will be coming from me until I get back into the Mt. Horeb area.  But I will be checking out Verona to see if there's anything there.

There is obviously still work to be done here in the area.  Both of the towers I drive by around Delafield haven't been touched.

Sorry, I should have clarified. It's the last tower I'm aware of in the North Shore area that hasn't been completed. Plus Delafield is a little ways out of the city when you actually look at it. On Google maps you can see that the major areas are from Cedarburg south to  Franklin, and from the Lake out to Waukesha. So sorry to say, but you're a little ways out from the major city limits and may not see upgrades until the areas closer to Milwaukee are completed.

Nice to see Waunakee get some mapping off the 113 tower! Seems very strong by Sensorly into town there and then it just shuts off.  Any member here map that region? what gives?   My in-laws live in the older section off Century Ave, might be out there this weekend so hopefully the tower will still be on.

Yes! 31 updates for Milwaukee Market, 6 LTE. Welcome to LTE-ville Stoughton, Waunakee and Fitchburg! I bet those pins will keep changing over the next few acceptances!!

I assume this means they are accepted? Do they permanently go live after being accepted?

And Park Bank building by East Towne went straight to yellow, so I'd say we don't need a white pin on it :-)

    • May 1st security update installed on s24 ultra factory unlocked. No functional changes detected.
    • Quote from wsj; "The T-Mobile deal could be reached as soon as later this month, while discussions with Verizon on a separate transaction are expected to take longer or might not result in an agreement, the people said." "The rising value of wireless licenses is a driving force behind the deal. U.S. Cellular’s spectrum portfolio touches 30 states and covers about 51 million people, according to regulatory filings." https://specmap.sequence-omega.net/
    • From WSJ which is paywalled but they're reporting that T-Mobile and Verizon are working on a joint deal to buy and split up U.S. Cellular. https://www.wsj.com/business/telecom/t-mobile-verizon-in-talks-to-carve-up-u-s-cellular-46d1e5e6?st=qwngrnh4s3bcr76 — — — — —  Summary from a user in the Reddit thread:  
    • So, in summary, here are the options I tested: T-Mobile intl roaming - LTE on SoftBank, routes back to the US (~220ms to 4.2.2.4) IIJ physical SIM - LTE on NTT, local routing Airalo - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer SoftBank), routed through Singapore (SingTel) Ubigi - 5G on NTT, routed through Singapore (Transatel) US Mobile East Asia roaming - 5G on SoftBank, routed through Singapore (Club SIM) Saily - 5G on NTT, routed through Hong Kong (Truphone)...seems to be poorer routing my1010 - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer KDDI), routed through Taiwan (Chunghwa Telecom) I wouldn't buy up on the T-Mobile international roaming, but it's a solid fallback. If you have the US Mobile roaming eSIM that's a great option. Otherwise Ubigi, Airalo, or my1010 are all solid options, so get whatever's cheapest. I wouldn't bother trying to find a physical SIM from IIJ...the Japanese IP is nice but there's enough WiFi that you can get a Japanese IP enough for whatever you need, and eSIM flexibility is great (IIJ as eSIM but seems a bit more involved to get it to work).
