Network Vision/LTE - Albuquerque market (including El Paso, Las Cruces, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Roswell)

Signal was yo yoing big time. I think the squeeze of the volume and sleep buttons to take the screen shot really killed it.

Wahoo we have fiber boxes installed. Wish I would have seen them doing it. Would like to know what the next step is.

Sorry I don't have a current picture, as I can't really come to a halt here.

This is clipped from Google.  If I recall, this odd site located on the power line @ the eastbound Paseo off ramp leading to Coors is a Sprint site.  Currently it's got new white panels and all sorts of fancy new hardware beneath the panels on the poles.  Looks like more service to the west side shortly.  Getting too used to the LTE on the other end of Paseo that the dead zone once you cross the river is disappointing, hopefully that will be gone soon.

About time!

If i remember, that site was 3G accepted in spring.  Just waiting on backhaul like the rest of the market.  Hopefully soon though.

I've been picking up smr from the site on 528 right by the Ford dealership right as you come into RR.  I have picked up signal from that site anywhere from Bernalillo to Tramway/Montgomery.  I can't wait for smr to be everywhere.

Just to clarify, this is voice right? I just ate at a new place down the hill from there but i doubt my i5 picked it up. never does.

Correct, not b26, just voice.

Parked in traffic under the new Paseo overpass@ Jefferson I got some pretty amazing data performance.

That area is doing really well. I work in Journal Center smack dab inbetween two towers and it works great.

 

However, the far northeast heights is really lacking. Three monopole sites are stuck. They each have had the first permit pulled back in May but still no activity. Checking DAILY!!

I'm jealous as I work further down Jefferson, between San Fransisco and Masthead in what must be a Faraday Cage as I get zip for service.

There is the monopole on San fransico and San Pedro may help when it is finally completed.

Well September 9th, Albuquerque was launched.  We all need to break out the bubbly.  This was a long time coming.

It certainly was.  Data speeds have definitely increased throughout most of the city.  With the added layer of B26, ABQ will be sitting very pretty, B41 is just icing on the cake!

In the last week I have found four more sites that have their second permit too!!!

Second permit is not needed for B26, right?  So only means one thing   We can talk in the premier forum.

That's Great New for the city. But I still haven't got any signal in the valley yet. ????

If you were a sponsor, you would be able to see what specific towers in the valley have been upgraded.  Also, i have found that my iphone 5 is terrible at grabbing service. Seems to be ok holding LTE.

[Nm45chavez]

Wish I can get these speeds all over the city.

Do not know how much stock I can take with this, I was on the phone with customer care out of Alb, about my phone, I asked about the LTE and they told me it is Scheduled to be online within three months. What got me is he added sprint spark within six months.

Well I hope they hurry up and do the towers by me! Got that text message from them like a month ago and still no LTE at my house

With as many permits as I have found for B41 equipment, it is reasonably possible in the next 180 days. All permits I have found are on sites that have LTE going.

I don't know where you specifically live but I wish they would get with it and start lighting up Band 26. I don't know what the hold up us.  That potentially will help you.
