Seems towers are going online pretty steadily in Tuscon...however things have seemed to die of here in Yuma. Still crossing fingers we'll get some towers turned on east of the city

Or even a bust in power.... In the daytime my LTE is very weak, if at all (and I'm within 10 blocks of a tower).

 

So, a question: Will the Sprint speeds be near the competition's speeds when the roll out is completed? (Just asking!)

 

Lateck,

Another question if anyone knows. (In Yuma county).

 

I see on the Sensorly map for Yuma that someone picked up (tracked) LTE all the way past Gasden on Hwy 95.

Was that someone here? What phone and time of day was it.

My Note 3 just picks up LTE in town and best at night (evening).

The 01/02/03 at the end of the hex id is just the sector. digits 4-6 are the critical ones. That signal is pretty weak - where were you when you got that signalcheck screen shot? And thanks for contributing :)

The location was actually SW of that location.   I was in the AM PM mini mart at Speedway and the freeway, just on the west side of I-10

So I've noticed all day yesterday and today I've not seen data but voiceat a few sites in town. Can anyone here check and or confirm any work being done? I have a rep for Sprint through my work who said that a few sites are soon to pop up in the central and downtown areas. This news makes me very excited haha

Oh and I checked out three towers I'm pretty sure are with sprint. One at golf links and kolb, one by the park place mall, and the other was in the downtown area. Signal check showed no ehrpd signal and I kept getting error 67 codes. I even hooked up to some WiFi and profile and PRL updated.

Currently there are only two open network tickets around Tucson. One at Broadway/Camino Seco for intermittent service (fixed today awaiting verification) and another in Oro Valley at Oracle/Calle Concordia for EVDO out (this one is actually pending verification from Sprint after a remote fix). No tickets open for longer term Network Vision tower upgrades (upgrades taking more than 2-3 days total per site). No Switch or market level issues either.

 

No widespread issues regarding Error 67, eHRPD, etc. today. Didn't have a sinle person come into my store today for data issues actually.

I'm pretty sure those weren't sprint.

I just got 4G at the intersection of River Road and La Cholla and then I mapped it on Sensorly until Wetmore road. I did not get a speed test but did get the Hex ID 06E090 -03. Thirty minutes later I went back to the same area and 4G was dead. Will return shortly to see if they turned back on or not.

06E090 is not listed in my spreadsheet, and looking at my map it's probably a new site. Sensorly isn't giving any clues as to which one though.

I will continue looking into it and when it lights up again I will try to map more so than sensorly might point us in the right direction

Is the tower way east, east of houghton and Broadway broadcasting LTE? I live few hundred yards from that tower, and i do have LTE but I get only 3 bars and the signal does not seem to be strong. I just got an LTE phone so I am still learning what is going on in Tucson, thanks!

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
