Wow, Greenwood MS! Actually shocked to see they have 15,000 people there.

 

Totally confirms what I've been seeing. Some definite schedule flips inside some markets. Damn you Sprint for not leaking the schedule changes! :angry:

 

Another disconnect between engineering and public relations depts though as we have had members confirm New Orleans work but it's not on the list.

Blah, still nothing in Dallas. ;)

 

But seriously -- my preference would be to see more buildout in the supposed live markets, but I suppose the installation teams may be different, so these announced deployments don't impact the existing ones.

These are new markets, the existing markets have work continuing until completion

Where the hell is Raleigh/Durham NC?

 

in one of S4GRU's posts way back it said Raleigh/Durham was scheduled to start in Round 2, and would see LTE coming on in spots in August (I think).

 

the RTP area is a technology leader on the east coast, and yet we are still stuck with Sprint's overloaded dial-up like EVDO around here (MUCH worse since the iPhone launched, cannot stream pandora at all really anymore.)

 

I've been a Sprint customer for almost 10 years, getting a little frustrated, but I'm going to stick around as long as I can, because I think NV and LTE will rock, IF they ever get here.

They're subcontracted. They don't have "teams" that travel around the country, so working in one area is not going to compensate the work taking place in another area.

The question is where are the crews coming from? Are they new contractors, or are they contractors diverted from an existing market?

 

I am curious as Dallas has huge holes in their coverage - in reality, I have seen LTE in the wild only twice. Every other sighting was because I knew the tower location and setup a survey. At the current rate, I think it will be years before coverage matches Sprint's coverage map.

 

I compare this to Houston, which has great LTE coverage pretty much everywhere I went this week.

 

On the other hand, if crews are new, that's fantastic news!

Didn't Houston sign a big contract with Sprint for mobile devices, doesn't shock me that they are getting priority.

 

I believe that the new crews are all additional sub-contractors (until an area is finished), then they move on to other areas.

Seriously, I am running out of time to do everything that is needed in a day to run S4GRU. The answers you seek are all around the site. Especially in the Markets forum. Look for them. And if you cannot find them, then ask. Seriously.

Not to add to your frustration, but I'm curious as I have not seen it posted anywhere as to what specific cities are in which market. I'm particularly interested in Columbus,Cleveland and/or Cincinnati,Ohio. If Robert or anyone else has a link or would like to answer that it would be appreciated, if not a simple no will suffice. Sorry if this has already been clarified I must've missed it.

 

Thanks again for your time Robert.

I'd be happy to help out as a volunteer. I have experience with databases and batchgeo.com.

You need to be a donating sponsor to view the interactive maps but Ohio has 4 markets, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, & West Virginia. There are a few West Virgina market towers near the OH border.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      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.
