Exciting news! I've received the thumbs up from Robert and with the help of uecker87 to get started, I'll be creating a premier North Wisconsin map/spreadsheet thread for all of us to keep tabs on our

Gotcha, so it uploads the data I record. I was hoping it saved my maps on the phone.

 

Sadly, no. It has been requested.

I just went to check out a local site so I could get a baseline of is there, so I can tell when work is done at the site. That poor tower is getting its but kicked.. 6 sets of antenna arrays. 6 different electric metes. at&t, cellcom(local provider that is partnered with verizon in the area, sprint, clearwire and nextel were all labeled on different meters. the 6th wasnt labeled and was attached to one tiny box and a very small array. no visible work was noticeable other than some digging for new lines to one of the little brick buildings. which i assume is for cellcom(verizon) because they just fired up lte here about a month ago.

 

What I thought was cool is that if sprint/softbank acquire clear they will own half of that site

 

Not sure if anyone cares about any of this but I felt like telling someone

I wonder if there's been any work on the town just off of I-39 south of the 51 truck stop. I think that tower covers a good chuck of the interstate.....

 

What tower are you thinking about? I live in Wausau.

Did you S4GRU Sponsors see the first full build North Wisconsin site was LTE accepted yesterday in Sheboygan? You can see it on the NV Sites Complete map in the Sponsor section.

Irma is a GMO site. Sheboygan is the first full build site.

The tower that is on the East side of the interstate just south of the 51 Truck stop. You can't miss the tower when you travel north to Merrill...

I was just by there the other day and didn't see any new panels or work done, not even plowed yet.

Wausau should be just about done any day now.

 

I wish. Lol speeds are good on 3g here but LTE would be great! Wish spring was here already, as the snow melts if it stops snowing here work should start I'm guessing.

I cant tell you what tower is it but I do have connections. Wausau was first, then its onto Union Grove, following with Kenosha/Racine.

You will not see new panels at a GMO site.

Ugg!!! How can Wausau get LTE before MADISON!!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!?!

 

Yeah, you're telling me, brother. We've got all kinds of "speed upgrades" and "capacity upgrades" in Madison, but I haven't had an inkling of LTE signal at all....not that I'm expecting to be able to access it, but seriously man. I live directly across the street from one of their biggest towers in the area so I'd assume it would be first-ish on the list. You know, the only place to catch WiMax in Madison (which is/was never launched here) was a fleeting amount of signal on a dinky tower over near West Towne Mall, near Woodman's. So who knows, maybe that'll be the first tower.

 

The story I've gotten about Madison from a Sprint guy in KC that I trust was that this whole network was 3rd partied for Sprint for many years and then recently (like 5 years ago) they bought back all the towers and started running it again. They know it is under powered for the population and they are working on it. I'm really, really, really holding out here with Sprint. Have 5 lines invested in them in multiple cities. Really hope they do something here soon. I've been patient.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
