Something was definitely going on in the Rancho Area Yesterday. There was virtually no data connection all day yesterday. Have to see how today goes....

It's been like that for me at home for a few weeks now. I'm hopeful it is something, maybe signal testing or whatever. I have no clue. I just know that I can't hold a call for more than a minute or two without it dropping.

Same thing today. No data again today in Rancho and I am having the same thing with calls dropping after just a minute or two. Must be Sprint testing or doing something.....

Every once in a while, my phone picks up a 4G LTE signal here at my work (Kaiser Permanente Facility in Stockton). The signal has only one bar and it usually is only for a few seconds.

 

I do get speeds of about 2.2mpbs from the 3G signal. Which is much more improved from what it was a month ago (it was an abysmal 0.2mpbs on average).

 

I'm excited! Finally, Stockton gets to soon join the lucky 4G LTE club. :)

The Sprint tower little a few blocks away has been upgraded to Network Vision equipment. No clue if it's broadcasting yet but solid speeds of 1.5-2.0+ all day long is typical of upgraded backhaul running on NV equipment.

Stockton still requires about 1/3 to 1/2 of its sites to be converted before they'll fire anything up as cluster launching is a required thing for Samsung markets.

That is every single site in Modesto that has been cluster launched on the 3g side. There's only one that wasn't that'll probably get accepted in a few days after corrections are made for whatever problems.

no data at all for the last 2 days corner of kilgore rd and trade center drive in rancho cordova. i need my data lol

Same here. Rancho's got a huge dead spot. Also Another big Dead Spot I have noticed as well is up on Antelope Rd/Roseville Rd all the way over to Antelope and Highway 80. Hopefully progress though...keeping my fingers crossed.

Got some screenshots of some goodie CDMA 800.

I was constantly connected to CDMA 800 in the bay area so no big deal until I connected to a CDMA 800 site in Tracy, CA 20 miles away.

screenshots:

Then I connected to one in Brentwood. But that's not part of this market. eh.

 

Afterwards I connected to one in Lodi in Tracy. I'll let the pics speak:

Was just at my dad's gf's house. LTE there barely. Outside the front door, -102 to -105 dBm. Inside -113 to -119 haha. Out the door worked fine, inside it came and went. I was having trouble figuring out where the tower was. It is not the Lockeford tower. 

 

If you go straight up from Lockeford you will see where I marked it with Sensorly. I also marked a spot at the Elliot Road and E Jahant Road intesection. Did speed tests at both spots.

 

So any insight as to which tower this is?

Wasn't that one up already? The "Collierville" one? This 4g just showed up today.

 

Adjustments can be made remotely... the weather conditions may have lined up correctly... lots of potentials. Only way is to map that tower and head east and see if you hold a connection till where you were.

Go go go :)

 

 

p.s. In the basic sponsors area I have a map of all Sprint cell locations & status (if available) if you are interested in that kind of knowledge..

    • Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.
    • Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile. 
    • T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.
    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.
