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!!

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!

      Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.

      It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By dkyeager · Posted

      T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
