Network Vision/LTE - Tucson/Yuma Market

Well, for one, someone should REALLY go map river/alvernon area... and get LTE engineering screens.. for the other, these signal patterns are pretty telling (they weren't quite distinguishable from broadway/harrison a few days ago, but they're solidly suspect now)

I can also go to river and Alvernon tomorrow if any more info is needed. (another engineering screen?)

 

TechSmurf, I got you. Just turned off mapping on my phone. Wish I could do more to help...sorry for messing with the maps!

Good stuff, Jeff! :)

 

I've got a small to-do list still running if anyone's bored:

 

Tucson HTC/LG/iPhone folks: We've only got hex IDs for the new tower at OG/Oracle. If you're bored I could use 'em for the rest.

Tucson Samsung/iPhone folks: We don't have confirmed serving cell IDs for that new tower, Park/18th, or the one in Drexel.

 

Yuma Samsung/iPhone folks: We've got hex IDs for everything, but we don't have serving cell IDs for anything. Not a big deal if Hypeo is going to be the only person handling this...

 

Southeast AZ folks: I hope people are running Sensorly in Santa Cruz and Cochise County. :P

Well I'm a Yuma Samsung person, but I can say that I am able to have a consistent 4G signal throughout almost all of Yuma, I have to drive all over town for work and am able to keep a reliable 4G signal all the way from Ave C out to about 4E and from 32nd all the way over to first. So seems like much if the city is covered. Now they just need to take care of the south county and the foothills. I can say that I rarely see the need to switch to WiFi at home, and haven't used WiFi at the office since the first signs of 4G started popping up. I am very happy with the 4G thus far and it defiantly shows in my usage, over 15GB last month and already at about 15GB this month with 13 days left in the cycle.

I don't want to come across as a jerk here, but don't you have a good ground based option for speedy broadband? Or is your home WiFi borked? If that's the case, get a better router.

I got this three from River/Alvernon.

Sadly I can't do much with this data yet, since we still don't have hex IDs for 1st/Glenn

Yes, we still need samsung serving cell IDs for River/Alvernon.

Interesting track popped up on sensorly from someone on eastbound I-10 near Ruthrauff. It's faint, but it seems to be pointed the wrong direction to be fringe signal from a known site. Someone (*cough*newgrounds*cough*) should investigate the area N/NW of this track.

I'll see what I can do today. I live in the area, and will be around the area most of the day.

Yep, the first quote above is representative of the problem that will make "unlimited" data go away or become disappointingly slow again.  But some people are too oblivious to realize that.

Your cell identity field is truncated which renders them useless. I remember one of the Iowa guys turning on some accessibility option in the settings and it shows the entire field.

 

Removed my thumbs since they were useless then... And this doesn't give me enough info as to where I go to turn on that setting :\ would like to contribute so helpful hints would be appreciated

======================

Absolutely.   4G could be faster but in most cases WiFi is plenty fast enough.   Use it when you can to conserve the bandwidth for others.   Why put pressure on "unlimited" data plans needlessly.  (IMHO)

Tower at 16th Street and Riley Avenue in Yuma is broadcasting. I will upload screenshots and I'm napping right now in a little while. My tApatalk isn't working.

Really....

I would not have known if you had not said it. My LTE signal has not improved. (I'm near that tower).

 

Lateck,

Yeah, i can check it out later. Keep that LTE rollin rollin rollin rollin!

No my router is fine just for what I do on my phone the speeds are fine I can stream Hulu HBOGO just fine and only use WiFi when needing to DL a larger game/app or file online.i have more than enough bandwidth on my WiFi when I need that extra speed.

    • 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?
