MarshieZ Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 that stretch needs a site it two. Been thru there many times. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk I'd probably say 3 total from the stretch from New London to Shawano. 1 south in between Clintonville and New London, 1 in Clintonville and 1 north of Clintonville between there and Shawano. Granted you still have all of 45 to cover going west, but this would make a nice seamless transition and would cover a lot! That road is extremely busy so it's not like they wouldn't be used.

MarshieZ Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Well... it looks like we're going places now... I took a trip with my mom today, up to Stevens Point and Plover. Going from 54 through Waupaca (I'm here quite frequently) I FINALLY got 1x800 all the way through where I'd normally drop down to "No Service." However, the tower in Waupaca (which is a B41 confirmed LIVE tower) doesn't seem to broadcast any band LTE very far... Probably needs optimization. Fine. Heading up 10 going to Point... same thing, dropped LTE almost immediately. But again, this time I got 1x800 here too giving me service in normally a "No Service" stretch. Once I got up to Point, B25 performed PHENOMENALLY. While B41 will definitely help once it comes, I'm very surprised I found no gaps up there to the point I was hardly ever put on B26. The whole #GettingBetterEveryday is true. While I'd love to see LTE in more places, the last time I was up that way it was a night and day difference today. Having 1x800 in all the places I normally have "No Service", to a much more optimized and stable network in the car and in stores while there was just amazing. Go Sprint, and more importantly, go Marcelo for being a kick ass CEO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they were making improvements. From about midnight to just before 4 this morning, my full NV build tower here in Greenville was 100% dead. I either had 1x800 connection at the other tower here in Greenville a mile or two down the road or I was roaming on U.S. Cellular. When I went to go check Down Detector's website, there was a massive red circle over Appleton, Milwaukee and Madison. So something definitely did happen, especially in Wisconsin.

spike331 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I have seen some pretty impressive speeds as well. Back on the 16th I got 59Mbs down near the airport on 172/Packerland. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it had to be that Tower on Babcock because no other tower is close. I'm still curious as to how well it will perform during a Packer game. I will find out on Thanksgiving night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get out to GB all that often, but from what I can tell at least 1/2 of the towers in the Green Bay area should have full builds by now. So speeds should definitely be on the increase as people get shifted on the optimized towers to the correct band. Have you noticed any 3G holes? Or is B26 covering the gaps well? mjs2011, I also want to remind you that I have the premier thread going for our market if you'd be interested in becoming a premier sponsor!

I can't say I've noticed it a lot in any specific area but it does happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshieZ Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Holy crap. Just pulled this in Appleton. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm about 90% sure which tower you pulled that from and if I'm correct, either they FINALLY optimized it correctly or they turned on B41 on a different tower. Either way that's really impressive and just comes to show how far little ol' Appleton has come in the past couple years! I don't have Carrier Aggregation (yet) but B412 has been popping up more and more over the past week on many B41 live sites. One of which I use frequently, I was able to only get 44 Mbps with one carrier as my best speedtest back in October of 2014. The moment I saw the second carrier symbol I ran another speedtest and immediately got 56 Mbps at 5 in the afternoon. At peak time of the day too!

Deval Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I've been seeing the b41 with a small two next to it in Green Bay, was wondering what that was. That means you're seeing the second B41 carrier on air, which means carrier aggregation is coming soon or already there. If you have a newer device, you'll see much faster speeds.
