Are we able to look at the maps? It says it needs a password to access the page.

 

Also, is there any work being done around the area of 68112? My cell signal and 3g have been pretty much no existent for about the last 2 weeks :(

It's the same with me. I'm almost to the point where I want to pay a $200 ETF and go to Verizon.

You guys have waited this long. It would be ridiculous to leave now that deployment is actually beginning in your market.

I have no intentions of leaving, and with them starting in our area like you said it would be a waste of time.

Has anyone in the Omaha area noticed their data connections dropping out in places that it had worked in the past?  I can't get anything around Village Pointe (which has had issues for about 6 months) and then barely 1X speeds on 132nd from Dodge to Maple.  Hopefully it is because they are upgrading the current towers, but it is data speeds like this that are making me want to dump Sprint recently.

I've noticed it not being there lol. But did have a weird thing happen last night. I set by phone down and the signal would slowly go up from zero bars to full bars, then back down to zero. It would keep doing it.

From what I've read from other market threads that are being deployed this is an unfortunate side affect of upgrading the network. you are going to have dropped calls, no data connection, and delayed texts until they get closer to being done with your area.

First site accepted in the West Iowa/Nebraska market yesterday. And it's LTE! It's on the far west side of the Omaha metro area on the way to Fremont. It will appear on the Sponsor maps in the next refresh.

I found the tower and Sprint confirmed that it has been turned on.  On my out there later to see what is going on.  Hopefully I'll have screenshots later!

I don't know how Robert will feel about it if I spill the beans.  If he gives his blessing I'll drop the Sprint Response into the thread.

In this instance, go ahead.  Thanks for checking with me.

I knows its progress, but could they have built it any further in the boonies lol. Would have made more sense to start in Omaha or atleast Lincoln.

Did you head over there? Were you able to pick up a LTE signal?

I did, I drove to Valley thinking of all the LTE joy and I got there and nothing (I even tripled checked my phone to make sure data was set to CDMA/LTE).  I then ran a speed test and got the awesome speeds of..... .14 MBPS down and .24 MBPS up.  I assumed that atleast the 3G speeds would have increased.

What does accepted really mean?

Technology is accepted and there's no problem in broadcasting the signal. 

So does the site stay live and broadcast the signal or does it get shut back down until more towers are broadcasting LTE?

90% of the time the site stays live with the technology it's been accepted for. Other times they're shut off and reappear a while later.

No, some are live before acceptance. Some are in test mode. Some get accepted and go love that day and some take a week or two to go live. In some rare cases it takes a month or more if there was an issue.

 

And sites will go up and down in an unlaunched market.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      By JossMan · Posted

      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?
