I know I know. It's just that conversation on this thread had died. And I think the 4 people on here that live in my area are too depressed to talk.

Its like i said, if you were a sponsor you would see where they are talking.

This is off 98th and central.

[e127nb]

This site that is off 98th hasn't been broadcasts any signal since the 25th of June and it's on the accepted site maps as of last update.

Call Sprint and report the outtage. Insist on opening a ticket. With a trouble ticket filed, at least we know someone at Ericsson will look at the issue and may possibly do something about it. If you don't get a ticket number, then nothing will be done.

Just checking in from Taos, still dark here. Thanks to Verizon for a whole .1mb roaming connection. Why no love here?

[jroepcke51]

Sprint has never had native service there. I bet that they won't ever have native service.

Back in the old days Sprint roamed on Alltel 3G in Taos. You can thank the Feds and the Duopoly for taking down Alltel.

Do you think they would ever expand coverage in northern new mexico?

 

I would love native coverage after Las Vegas north. I can't remember if it is Walsenburg or Pueblo where you hit native coverage.

It's Walsenburg. I did notice that Commnet is one of Sprint's named CCA partners. Commnet has a significant footprint in Northern NM, including Taos.

that would be amazing considering I read that it would be considered native coverage? Or is that just agreed for LTE.

It's native with RRPP members. It is not known if standard CCA members will be native or roaming at this point.

 

So far, Commnet has only been announced as a CCA Sprint Partner. Supposedly there will be more CCA members that will be named as Sprint RRPP partners. Hopefully Commnet will be one of them.

 

Commnet and Sprint already have voice roaming. So all you need is the LTE now. And eventually VoLTE after Commnet deploys that.

I guess I am on Commnet according to signal check pro. Roaming according to the copious notifications and my little triangle friend at the top. Terrible speed, but better than the non existent WiFi at the hotel.

Currently Commnet only has 1x in New Mexico. No 3G EVDO. Supposedly they are upgrading to LTE though. No idea on how long that will end up taking.

You need to flash one of those custom prl with 3g roaming

Does that require root?

 

Also, messed up that quote trying to drop the pic.

M8 did some research, not happening on this trip, thanks for the advice though!

Drove by the tower here in Alamogordo. New line markings around the tower. They also marked Tmobile fiber line going to their AAV box. Hoping this is Sprint getting the fiber going. Ran into and Ericsson tech there working a repair. He made the comment that there is no fiber to any sprint tower in NM. I do not think he is current on that. He couldn't give me any info. on the LTE. So still a waiting game down here. Sprint must have gotten a lot of new customers down here. Data speeds have been very bad for the last three months. Even off peek speeds are way down. This started about the same time I started getting bogus tower locations. I wonder if they are related?

Actually Commnet has 3G EVDO in Dixon, NM.  My Verizon S3 went crazy one day and connected to it.  Signal Check Pro said it was 3G EVDO (I had never seen that before, only EHRPD on Verizon and 1X) and a speedtest confirmed that it was 3G.

The site in Dixon/Rinconada along NM 68 has Verizon service on it.  I always roamed on Verizon 3G EVDO when I drove by it.  Commnet used to have only 1x on that site.  If they have 3G EVDO there now, then that's new.  I'm not even sure they have the spectrum to do that.  It's possible you were connected to Commnet 1x and Verizon EVDO.  

 

The next time that happens, please send me a screen shot of your EVDO Engineering screen showing the channel number.  We will be able to figure out for sure.  Thanks!

I was definitely on the new tower that Comment activated in February 2014 on the hill in front of my house due to the signal strength. I never got signal that strong from the Verizon tower down the road. This is when my service went downhill since my phone would fight between the two towers and why I left Verizon for T-Mobile, which I don't regret. T-Mobile LTE is 100% better than Verizon's. Comment's retail wireless chain is called Choice Wireless and they offer 3G here in the area (Espanola, Taos, Penasco) On my Sprint phone, Commnet only allows 1X. It is not likely that I'll see this again since I no longer have Verizon and it just happened for about 5 minutes before I connected to Verizon LTE.

It's possible.  However, note that Signal Check Pro will only tell you which 1x provider you are connected to.  It doesn't ever tell you which EVDO provider you're connected to.  We will need to see the EVDO channel assignment for definitive proof.  But it will be great for many Sprint/Verizon customers in the area if Commnet is now providing EVDO.  Thanks for the heads up.
