Considering the condition of sprints network in so many places, coupled with the extraction of the perks (yea its been awhile but og evo and initial wimax customers came off contract this year to a much different set of perks than they signed up for) as well as moving to 14 day return windows and shutting down a network, ILL TAKE 2ND PLACE ALL DAY LONG!

 

The completion of network vision and sustaining unlimited data has the potential to take us to #1 in a year or two

All good points..I'm sure the addition of the iPhone and the unlimited data that came with it helped too

Got my copy in the mail today, who would of thought sprints worst market would be Chicago?? ;)

 

Could it be that they are using info based off when there were hand off issues between legacy equipment and Network Vision equipment? I would imagine this issue is largely fixed at this point based on the rapid NV deployment in Chi.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
