He was right about WiMax? So he told you that Clearwire was deploying WiMax Protection Sites around Detroit to just meet FCC substantial service requirements? Because, if he didn't say that, he wasn

I think what your seeing is me. I am seeing 4g in flint. On my EvoLTE I am getting 3 megs down. On my wifes galaxy S3 I am getting 5.7 down.

 

Very cool. Thanks for marking it on Sensorly!

If you have some extra time, and feel like it, it would be neat to see some more of the coverage in your area.

the speeds are kinda all over the place. Sometimes low but higher than sprints average 3g speeds, and sometimes very high. I think they must me testing. Lately our service has been pretty shitty with missing text messages and missing calls. but they must have been working on my tower.

Good catch on finding the purple dot in Flint. I really had to zoom up on it pretty close to see it once it was pointed out. I'm up that way 4 times/wk and my wife has been involuntarily recruited to passively map as well. I thanked her for collecting data for me as I took her phone away and downloaded Sensorly.

No Flint in this weeks update. But do have some In Progress sites there being added. Most likely some testing.

It is in flint just got back home fro work and I still have not had the time to see where the boundaries are. But today when I got home I had to toggle the airplane mode on then off. But my speeds are up to 12.5 megs outside.

Since the Flint site has not been accepted yet, do not be surprised if it goes away. But definitely enjoy it and map out while it's live!

You're a better person than me. I wasn't sure how much mapping I would've done throughout Flint. I was bummed LTE was off when I got up there but not like I was going to scour the streets or anything.

 

Anyways, Well done!

Looking on sensorly, there's a *very* small blip on I-75 just north of the mt. morris exit (126), just north of I-69. Can anyone verify that? I'll try to drive by there soon as it's getting close to me!

considering where you went, you did well. I don't even go to some of those areas.

 

I was born and raised in Flint. Now I am in southern california(boo). People out here talk about how bad it is in San Bernardino. I drove around this morning. Lol. These guys need to check out Flint. Flint scares me. I do love it though.

Dude, is that you painting purple all over Flint?? Every time I checked Sensorly there was more and more and more going on. I was trying to plan a trip around that area but my planned routes kept getting painted. I hit MCC, down 475 a bit and carried LTE on 69 all the way out to 23/75. Signal dropped out on the backside of MCC campus but picked it up no problem at the RTC.

 

BTW, I'm not complaining at all. You're doing a fantastic job!!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.

      Network Vision/LTE - West Washington Market (Seattle/Puget Sound Region)

      Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By radem · Posted

      I think it is likely that T-Mobile will be forced to honor any existing US cellular roaming agreements in those areas as a condition of them taking over the spectrum.  In that case, there would be no improvement of service unless T-Mobile improves the service offering in those areas.
