this is a rumor that leaked april 11th saying almost 2 dozen cities were gonna launch yesterday. that didnt happen obviously, but i think it is an interesting read. if it does happen this means that sprint is getting quicker at deploying sites (my opinion)

Not sure where you're looking, I can't find any 4G LTE coverage on the official coverage map anywhere along I-10 in AZ. Not to mention no towers have started 4G conversions yet either, so it's sort of impossible.

 

Unless you're talking about the color used for the Interstates happening to be a similar color as the one used for 4G LTE coverage... which is obviously not the case as signal propagation does not work that way and to assume that a signal would be exactly the same width as the interstate the entire length and follow the same exact path... just no.

I see Brian Klug is on Twitter, going into Sprint hard.

 

He even hit S4GRU upside the head. Ouch.

 

 

Work did indeed start in Winter, just as was stated. It didn't say it would be complete in Winter. ALU mobilized in the Tucson Yuma market in January, just a few weeks after Winter started. They started getting sites accepted in March, before the first day of Spring. *sigh*

So by this time next year lte should be finished and running?

I live in a VZW market that's just as bad. 200 Kbps.

 

That reply didn't yet generate a response. Also, LTE is south of here, with VZW deploying in the middle of nowhere south of Chester. VZW deployment has hit the looney bin for me. If it's this bad I'll go to Alltel even as it gets swallowed into the fail whale that is AT&T.

 

I could also try a $30 T-Mobile SIM...my options here suck. :(

The first LTE signals will probably start going live in June. The first sites to get LTE will be sites already accepted with the 3G NV upgrades. After LTE sites start going live, coverage will grow more and more every week until the whole market is completed.

 

It will likely take 6-9 months to complete the whole market once LTE starts to go live.

Killer, cant wait!

 

I will be going up to Eugene, Oregon next month so it will be fun to play with the LTE up there.

 

Also hope you enjoyed your vaca man!

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.    
    • 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?
