I'm a little surprised Roseville is first, but this is really cool.  Now if only they'd get the one that services the Galleria mall cuz reception in there sucks and the free wifi is worse than 3G.  I wonder why there were no towers on the mall itself.  Too expensive perhaps?  I know the last general manager there would have gotten things done quick if a deal could be struck.  This current GM doesn't strike me as particularly competent.

Yep. Sponsor only. 

 

Work is beginning all over that region. Possibly that area had backhaul available first so contractors began to work there.

 

The roseville galleria mall I believe has a DAS system or repeaters inside. It is literally a giant concrete  and steel block which isn't that conducive to exterior wireless signals...

Yep Sprints up there! Very top rack. You can barely see the RRU's up there clearly but the slightly rounded antennas in addition to the fact that they're different looking in comparison to google street view all but confirms sprint is up there! Good one. 

 

 

ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

sweeet! I'm thinking between the lower sac and sacramento st towers I should have excellent coverage when they hit the switch.

I can't think of the Galleria without drooling. Ruth's Chris and Il Fornaio. Two of some of my favorite restaurants.

It sucks when your girlfriend's favorite restaurant (Cheesecake Factory) is there too. Turns into a battle.

This is what I picked up on Sensorly today

Great work. Now we just gotta get some people to fill in the gaps on those streets. Let's beat up those t-mobile LTE sensorly folks who just roam on the highway mapping with some mapping of the actual streets.

This is not what I mapped actually. This is just the sensorly apps mapping of other people. Because I went down some other roads and had lte that are not mapped in that picture. How or can I look at what I have actually mapped in the app, I don't see it.

I'm off tomorrow so can hit up some of the streets but never used that sensorly map before.

It's very simple, you just go to the app and select map trip in the bottom right. Press start and drive around, press stop when you are done. I would bring a car charger and or make sure your phone has a full battery because this thing sucks the life out of the battery very fast.

Pretty sure the Iphone 5 or any IOS devices can't map on sensorly....

I just saw you have the iPhone 5 so the app might be a little different, I am on Android, but it should be pretty much the same thing.

I also hope SoftBank gets the Sprint deal completed quickly and Clearwire as well. Then let the next gen LTE roll out with building penetration.

Sprint upped the bid for clearwire to $5 a share today. Not to mention Sprint suing Dish and Clearwire. And Dish backing out of the Sprint deal this week. It's looking pretty well for Sprint/SoftBank.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
