Saw these two guys just outside of Waikiki. Hopefully they are installing backhaul.

 

So, remember how you said you hope they were installing backhaul?  I'm getting LTE right now by the zoo. :)  I flashed a 4.4.4 based rom on my GN3 yesterday and had 0 LTE on the freeway to work.  Just now I found a build.prop tweak that gives you the "spark" icon and low and behold, my 3G went to LTE.  Thought it was just the build prop tweak playing tricks on me, but I'm getting 5Mbitt download right now

This morning got 4GLTE next to Punahou school in Makiki.

 

For about 5 minutes, until lost the signal going down the elevator.

 

Unfortunately, forgot to speed test it, was too excited.... haha.

Plenty of new LTE towers stretching out to Kaimuki and Kahala Mall on Sprint Network. Lots of new purple clouds showing up on Sensorly.

Looks like just one. And there's a new LTE tower out in Aina Haina and another in Waipahu.

Unfortunately, Maui only has lte in the Napili area. Worked pretty good for me when I was there the other day. Too bad I'm hardly in the area. The guy at the Sprint store said Haiku would be the next one lit. Didn't say when. But damn, Haiku of all places.

Wow, for real out of all the places on Maui, they choose Haiku next?!..why not Lahaina & Kahului areas first, that's where pretty much everyone is...smh!

    • Its crazy what MM wave is capable of in ideal conditions. I took advantage of some overnight work this week to do some testing on my way home.  https://imgur.com/a/zPNUWVs
    • I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.
    • Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.
    • Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...
