Good to see two towers being worked on at the same time. The one on Riley Ave and 18th is being upgraded too.

 

Ryan, do you travel to the Foothills much? I'm curious to see if any work as been done to the tower down by Foothills Boulevard south of I8.

 

I don't go up there that much so I can't confirm, but if you make that travel would you mind taking a gander?

I live off exit 12 Fortuna...I'll try to get out of work early one day this week and swing by and snap some pics.  Any idea exactly where off exit 14 the sprint tower is?

Has anyone had any issues with their data service tonight?

 

 

Yeah my data has been REALLY slow even now when it's late.

I've noticed that for the last week or so. It gets better around 3 or 5 in the morning.

The data speeds in Tucson in general, even in places where I used to get great speeds, have been just terrible lately! If they stay like this for a while I have no choice but to switch to other carrier, my work is not getting done.

I have been having decent data speeds lately, there are still some dead spots around Yuma, but overall it has been better the past few weeks. I know VZW has LTE up here now, and after playing with it I can't wait until Sprint is on board!!

Yeah I didnt think to check my network status while I was right by the tower, but I did about 1.5 miles down the road....Evdo :(

 

My data speeds have been lagging everywhere around town...cant even stream Pandora when I'm in the gym.

 

However, I know the end to these slow speeds is near and I am anxious

Well looks like NV is active here in yuma at some sites. Just pulled this at the office on Avenue B and 28th st. uploadfromtaptalk1372364292110.jpg

I just tried again and still pulling 600-700 much better than a few weeks ago, and is fast enough for the things I should be doing when at work.

You must be hooked on the tower over by Kofa, that's always a good tower

Just passed by a sprint cell site and the technicians were taking the legacy panels out. That leads me to believe that it should be getting its Acceptance for 3G.

So, it's showing 24% of sites have been accepted for NV but none for LTE. I thought they were upgrading at the same time, would this be a paperwork/beuacracy issue? Also, when would they be able to light up the LTE, which percentage are they trying to hit?

The LTE radio gear is installed at the same time as the CDMA gear (some gear does both), but LTE cannot be brought up until backhaul is installed, which according to my sources Alcalu doesn't place the call for backhaul until after they've upgraded the site. Once backhaul is installed at enough sites another team will come through and start bringing up LTE.

Still no good in Yuma, speeds still sub 100's kbps

I stand corrected... Literally as I posted my above comment about sub 100's, I think I just witnessed a transition of data connections.. My phone went to 1X, then went to no signal.. When it came back, I was downloading this below..

    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
    • 76MB Google Play System update after that, bringing the date up to 3/1 from prior 2/1 date. 
    • April security patch is already out - 738.30 MB download. 
    • What do you see with the latest alpha/ beta version?
