What's different about Shentel that Robert doesn't get info from his Sprint sources about upgrades? Is it not part of Sprint? If now why do we care if they get LTE towers?

Shentel runs and owns the network in a small area of the country. This is branded as Sprint and you as a customer have ubiquitous access between Sprint and Shentel areas. Sprint does all their marketing/support, Shentel maintains the network. It covers parts of MD/VA/PA. They are one of the last remaining Sprint "affiliate" markets.

 

Robert obvoiusly gets information from somewhere within Sprint. Since Sprint doesn't own the network in Shentel areas, and Shentel is in control of the network here, he doesn't get that information. Shentel is working with Alc-Lu on the upgrade so those are the only two sources of potential information. I care about the Sprint network in this area, since that is where I reside?

Adding to that, Robert has said before that he has 0 sources within shentel and rely mainly on member observations. As shentel is an affiliate of sprint and maintains its own hardware / towers, his sprint sources have nothing on that specific region/market..

Hmm wonder if Shentel kneels before our new Japanese tyrant overlords. Would hate to see them beheaded, sound like nice folk.

      I really apreciate no longer seeing n38 for T-Mobile. My s24 Ultra is reporting that Signalcheck Pro is crashing frequently.  It has the latest updates. I do occassional change sims and band preferences. Let me know if you need anything else.   Thanks.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.
