Good to know I will have LTE this weekend at my best friends restaurant.  Pajarito Brew!

 

Good place.  I ate there a few times before we left New Mexico.  It looks like based on the Sensorly trail past the Co-Op market I would have had the B26 signal in my office at the County Maintenance Facility.  Awesome.

They are starting the ABQ market with the site next to my house. I just ran into subcontractors for Ericsson who are starting to upgrade my site in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. Unbelievable!!!

OK. I've now uploaded pics. I talked with the guys there. They are electricians hired by SBA. SBA is subcontracted to Ericsson. They are here to install the RRU's only today. My site here did no

No

Can you get a signal inside the Roundhouse? In the past I could only get a signal on the north and east side of the building and in the rotunda with Sprint on 1900. And then only up high. Pretty poor signal.

 

Even on ATT and Verizon I couldn't get a signal somewhat deep in the Roundhouse. And most subcommittee hearing rooms were dead zones. But the WiFi was OK most of the time.

Service in the roundhouse had improved so far. However, reception in the basement and in the House gallery remains very spotty - almost non existent.

We have LTE band 25 in Alamogordo.

Can you pin point what site it is?  I know there are only two.

 

I would hope that at least one of the two sites is located on a fat cottonwood tree.

I'm beginning to think there were tons of towers ready in New Mexico and an integration team showed up and is running everywhere and turning on towers.

I was thinking the same thing. Should be an exciting few weeks.

I did some mapping of the Alamogordo area. I am wondering if there is some LTE antennas that are not on the NV map? I was getting a very strong signal by the hospital. In the past you were lucky to get a usable 3G signal.

Could be a hospital distributed antenna system.

After doing some mapping I think I am wrong on the tower outside of Holloman AFB transmitting Band 25.

Looking at network.sprint.com, it looks like just one of the towers were upgraded to LTE. Hopefully Band 26 for you as well.

 

Happy camper?

Hell yes I am! I was running some sped test on 3G and was getting some awesome speeds. Was going to post about that when I saw my phone switch to LTE. Boy did I let out one hell of a whoopee.

When using the signal pro app on my N5 several time it showed two neighboring towers. The only other tower I know about is 15 miles away by Holloman AFB

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're price for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....

      Welcome back! That's similar to my best (1250ish). A few people have broken 2000 on good sites.
