Nice "sales" pitch - can we please keep it "short" and on subject!  Thank you.

 

Sorry, but you don't get to decide who posts what. Nothing he posted was against site rules, nor was it truly off topic. It was simply an introduction. If something is against the rules, one of the Staff will take care of it. If you think the staff missed something, please use the report button rather than calling someone out.

 

Thank you.

That's one of the two you reported Tuesday. Site 06E011, sector 01

I was very close to the Atlantic Ave site and I was getting great signal strength on signal check app. I was wondering if it was broadcasting already.

I see what you mean on sensorly... but none the less you reported that ID tuesday. I'd do a closer inspection of both sites.

Yeah, I was mapping that earlier today before I sent you the picture

Hey guys,

 

Quick intro: been watching this thread for a minute, but never really had anything to contribute until now. I live in midtown (Tucson) but drive all over the city. Electrical engineer, total nerd :-P

 

And now to the contribution... I was at Reid Park yesterday & got limited 4G (2Mpbs DL). Mapped it on Sensorly so it should be up by now.

 

Thanks to all ppl who have shared their 4G experiences on here...let's hope the love keeps coming!

Eliz,

 

Thank you for your contribution, but please be careful mapping with Sensorly using your Galaxy Nexus. It's got a bug where when the signal starts to fade out it will suddenly pretend it has really strong signal where it has almost none, and map it as such. This can be seen where you were eastbound on 22nd and your signal cut out at Alvernon. It's so noticable that when I glanced at sensorly this morning my first thought was "Aww crap, someone's mapping with a Gnex".

 

Even without sensorly you can still make significant contributions by getting LTE engineering screen shots and the locations they came from which we can use to determine if the signal you're getting is from an existing tower or a new one.

TechSmurf, can you check this engineering screen. I think another tower is up in Yuma.. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

We can only hope...... The 2 (?) currently up are hit and miss in the daytime unless your very close to them.

Yes, I'm getting spoiled with the LTE tease, I want more......

 

Hypeo; Thanks for keeping an eye out for new towers.

Really? I guess I have to get out more..... I personally have not noticed any improvement but I stick to the same roads alot.

 

Again, thanks.

 

Lateck,

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
