'This is a thought, but what if they starting testing on Christmas, that would be some present.

 

I'm doubting that as I'm sure their activation side of the house is going to be busy and they don't want to mess with that.

Think you found a new LTE site in your area? Please help us by getting some information from the site. If you find a new LTE site in the market or what you may think is a new site, drive close to wha

And of course I saved the best of last, the Addis, LA site (interesting site). Only 2 sectors on this one by design since there's really nothing on the backside of this one except for marsh/fields, e

The legacy site that just won't stop. Downtown Baton Rouge legacy rebuild.  New single band antennas, new coax, and legacy cabinets moved from the roof to the sidewalk during the building construction

Spotted some NV gear at the site on Old Hammond close to Flannery. I took the photos with my phone, but you can definitely see the new panels. I can't wait till some LTE gets turned on!

Had to chance to check on my list and this one was really wasn't on my high priority list. Without giving out info, this does open the "door" for me to go check on some others that I might have skipped.

To get off topic, has spirit updated the 4g lte icon yet, jus curious.

 

Not sure what you mean. As in cosmetic? Or 4g itself?

 

I could care less what it says or looks like. It could have pink polka dots for all I care as long as the speeds are there.

Im talking about on your phone, because if you are connected to lte the icon at the top only says 4g. Sprint said they will update it and I was wondering have they yet.

 

That's all it needs to say. Confused...

Maybe he means like it saying LTE instead of 4G

 

TS

Im going to have to simplify this, at the right corner of your screen next to the time and battery life, it tells you what you are connected to 3g or 4g or whatever. On a sprint device when you are connected to lte it just says 4g. And they said they were going to update the icon so it can say 4g lte. Simple

New Orleans got wimax.. And several other cities. Just not full blanket coverage. LTE rollout will be much better though.

No, don't want to sound like I'm bagging on sprint. I'm talking about store associates promising blanket wimax coverage was coming soon lol. Yea new Orleans has wimax. One tower. Lmao. Got to use it twice. And no the coverage on sensorly, at least in my experience on the Westbank was inaccurate at best.

They weren't completely misleading. Clearwire had plans to deploy WiMax in the Top 120 markets. But only got to 71 markets before they ran out of money. The market design was complete, site leases being finalized and permitting under way in New Orleans, San Diego, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Oklahoma City when Clearwire had to stop. New Orleans and San Diego were just about to start. And word didn't get out that deployment was cancelled for 6+ months. Everyone thought deployment was still imminent.

Wow, I was not aware of that. How did I miss this info? I need to spend more time in the WiMax threads...

I'm heading to Slidell, or actually pearl river around mid February to visit my dad for a week... sure would be nice to see some lte around that area by then.

I'm sure you will have something there by then. I wish we had a spotter in that area today to check out several sites for us.

No 4g for Christmas. But I wasn't expecting it anyways.

 

Have plans to check out two sites in mid city/Bon Marche area tomorrow.

 

-- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"

 

To me, Bon Marche was a department store in the Pacific Northwest. Also known as The Bon. At least until Macy's bought them out and homogenized them.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
