Network Vision/LTE - North Wisconsin Market (Wausau/Green Bay/Appleton)

I'm having the same problem with data and dropped calls. Seen more conduit being worked on thru town here in Wausau

 

Yeah I've been having an abnormally amount of dropped calls lately too. Just driving downtown where I normally get full bars. I'll take it as long as I know lte is coming!

I have seen 2 towers along highway 54 east of Green Bay putting out an LTE signal on and off, but so far it looks like I get kicked off it shortly after, so it is probably still being tested. 

 

Hmm, a Kewaunee, WI tower has recently been listed as 4G complete - so I suppose it is possible I was getting 1XRTT off those towers and LTE off the Kewaunee tower. I'm not sure how to tell that in the SignalCheck app.

 

P.S. The towers I've been getting signs of upgrade from are identified on sponsor maps as MLXXXXXXX and MLXXXXXXX. I haven't gotten around to trying to take a picture to post to the in progress threads.

Nice!  Hopefully spots continue to pop up near and in Green Bay.

Wish Wausau had at least one tower with 4g

First site in the Wausau area had LTE accepted yesterday.  It's between Edgar and Marathon City, along the freeway.

Very cool thanks Robert. I see most of the sites around me are 3g just to the north and East of me. Still keeping my eye on the sites around me here tho.

I should be going to Edgar today, I'll load up Sensorly and tag it if I do.

Well, I got a real up close and personal look at the tower on I-39 just south of the 51 truck stop.  There's fiber to the tower, and some empty boxes (Samsung).  Looks like the work is all down here, Sprint needs to turn it on!

Should be really nice when the network is complete. Even with a weak signal I got around 10 meg's up and 8 meg's down. Facebook and a few other apps just fly along.

Where did you get that at?  Marathon City?  I drove through Fondulac yesterday and connected to LTE.....it was awesome!

Marathon to Edgar should be mapped. Not sure where it switched back. I turned it in pulling out of Marathon and turned it off by Colby.

 

There is a site on hwy 10 by Marshfield I've seen pop LTE off and on, and a couple more by Point. I even saw my phone bounce LTE shortly by Wisconsin Rapids.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
