I pulled into to work this morning and there are 4 - vehicles at the tower.  Went and talked to one of the workers and he said there arre there to active this cluster today.  Look like they are working there way from the north end of Wausau to the south.

This is the tower by Sunnyvale park.  Hwy 29 and S.72nd Ave in the Wausau West industrial park.

I just hope that they aren't completed yet, I would like to see the tower on Rib Mountain and in Rothschild get LTE activated.

I would like to see Ripon and green lake. Green lake I think would get a lot of people onto sprint. Especially if they are from Chicago where they currently have the most LTE..

Talking the the guys working on the towers, they are so busy there don't know where to turn next.  I would hope that they get LTE on all of the towers other wise it would be a waste.  Only time will tell.

You have so much info at your disposal by being a sponsor and you think they are completed in the area, and you think that they aren't putting LTE on 99.9% of the sites? :rolleyes:

 

 

When they launch a market they aren't done yet.

So I drove by that little area in Green Bay that picked up 4G last week, and while it didn't say "4G" this morning, I did a speed test and picked up what would be record 3G speeds for me.  I clocked 1.5mb.  Never seen that in Green Bay, usually I average between .3 and .7 mb.  Kind of interesting....

Seen the site in Cedar Creek has had the new panels and base cabinets installed. And they have been starting to bring up clusters.

Great my house is between that tower and the tower on Rib Mountain.

Nothing in Rhinelander... drove through downtown today. Didn't see any NV equipment on the tower.

the only site up there has new panels and cabinets in place. Might be waiting on backhaul.

Guess I need to get better at spotting the NV setups. The one completed tower I've seen up close, near West Bend, didn't look like this one. I saw a set of the old thin panels and there was another set of bigger panels below it (9 I believe), but I thought that might be another carrier. Didn't notice any RRUs. Of course I was a passenger in the car and our main goal was not Sprint tower hunting so I didn't get as good of a view as I wanted :).

Does anyone out there have any news for Appleton / Fox valley? We get little to no data, a lot of dropped calls and pushed to the extended network. I'm trying to hold out but after the storms the other day and really needing data I think for safety as well as fun reasons I might pay the ETL and go with Verizon. If you reply thanks

by the end of this year you should have most of the towers done.

Yeah, I with you that the wait is frustrating, especially since we're seeing much smaller cities starting to light up.  I live in Green Bay but work in Appleton so I'm interested both markets.

 

I think the good news is that we're starting to see more spots light up closer to us.  For example, both 10 minutes East and West of Green Bay are really lighting up.  Closer to Appleton, Freedom is starting to light up as well so I'm sure it will start to spread.

I'm getting LTE by Winneconne, and service by 76 and Jackson is moving faster.

 

I haven't had any dropped calls or data problems around Appleton though, aside from some minor slowdowns.

 

That storm did some damage, there may be towers down by you.

    • 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?
