Where to find number of customers per market?


Recommended Posts

Yeah, in New Orleans, I'm not sure if any 1 carrier dominates the market. Verizon has made a big push there and I think Sprint has a decent share there as well. In BR though, ATT has this market for sure.

 

I'm not going to give out all my info..but 2 carriers have a huge share in N.O....

Those are extremely confidential numbers. You can get an idea of the relatively size if you can look up the number of blocks of numbers each operator owns in that area. Not accurate but just a ball park estimate. I used to have a link to a website for that info, but I have no idea where it is or whether it is still alive.

 

The wireless industry thinks everything is confidential and proprietary.

Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska

 

I would estimate...

 

VZW 55%

Sprint 15%

AT&T 15%

USCC 10%

Cricket 5%

T-Mobile 0%

It would be interesting to see the numbers for the detroit area.

 

VZW 6%

AT&T 5%

Sprint 4%

T-Mobile 4%

MetroPCS 40%

Ain't Got No Phone 41%

 

:P

Interesting statistic...

Detroit, MI: 0.4

El Valle de Arroyo Seco, NM: 7

Might is understating it!

 

Really? Their network is pathetic here. Voice is atrocious, data speeds rarely hit 1Mbps, and this is in the days of the Thunderbolt, when I had VZ. The only plus to them over Sprint is "reliability", meaning they have signal in obscure places Sprint doesn't cover. Even then, my phone will instantly switch to VZW 1x. Why people choose them, I have no idea. At least here. I have a friend with a VZ Razr Maxx, and my iPhone can consistently beat his (absymal) 4G LTE speeds. Meaning in the 5-8Mbps range, while I'm blazing at a nice 20-25Mbps. Same thing for 3G. Him at a 800kbps and me with 1.5Mbps or so.

Rickie, is Vegas part of the top 50 markets?

 

That depends on market definition. As of right now, Las Vegas is MSA #30. Because the FCC locked in its Cellular markets in the 1980s, however, Las Vegas is CMA #93. Off the top of my head, no market has sprawled...er, I mean grown a greater percentage than Las Vegas has in the past 30 years.

And in terms of growth just in residents, Vegas is still growing at a massive pace, so subscriber growth is still continuing.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
