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.

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.

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.

    • Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
    • 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
