Good spacing but they (in my opinion) could use more, I think they probably need to add at least one closer to downtown and another half way between Rehoboth and Lewes.

 

No B41 yet, but they should be getting hammered with all the tourist. That should get them moved up the priority list.

 

Last year in Rehoboth I thought that by this time this year they'd have at least B25 up and running. 3G was completely maxed out and unusable. Looks like not much has changed, but fingers crossed LTE is flipped on within the next few weeks before vacation again.

 

Delaware is a very strange state for Sprint....

Why a Premier Sponsor would use Sprint coverage maps when they have access to S4GRU Site Acceptance maps is beyond me. Everyone knows that the Sprint LTE coverage maps are awful unless you zoom all t

The 3G is even worse this year at Rehoboth - I was having trouble making calls it was so bad. 100% unusable data. One would think the excessive load would have moved this up on the priority list years ago. 

 

We've been tethering to my T-Mo iPad just to use the parking apps at the meters  :P Oh well, my vacation group has come to expect this and we keep saying "maybe next year."

      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.
