Recommended Posts

I bet he was referencing a specific tower and not the market in general or he is an idiot. I give it 50-50 odds

I should have been more specific. He may have meant no active work being done at that time on the tower.

Two questions...

 

Why even ask a low level Sprint employee a question about Network Vision when we have far more accurate info here?

 

And why bother posting the employee's response when you know it is wrong?

Sprint chat personnel in my experience are at best "challenged" in their knowledge generally; Sprint would be better served in either 1) improving the knowledge level of these folk or 2) dropping the service altogether; IMHO, they give Sprint a black eye

Because I'm not that experienced and just making sure I was right.

I would wager that employee is incompetent. Sprint employees should be able to see what kind of deployment is going on through the GLANCE system they have access to.

Definitely. And if they know how to read and decipher basic info, it would be glaringly obvious that not only is Network Vision is underway in the entire Ft. Wayne/South Bend market, bit most sites have received at least one upgrade.

Only S4GRU Sponsors should be hired.

LOL. I'm solid but thank you. I did my time in the customer service industry.

 

Yeah, I remember this from college, "Thank you for calling Reno Air Quick Escapes Vacations, this is Robert speaking, where can I send you on vacation today?"

 

When we started flights to Vancouver BC, we had a sudden influx of calls from Canadian Asians. Most of our employees couldn't understand them, but I could. So people would send them to me. My call queue was always extremely high.

 

Thankfully I was promoted out of that department into a non customer service role.

Upon graduation or turning 18, one should have to choose which service they want to enter: military or customer. Either one will chew you up into a different person.

Quite frankly; and not bc of my backgroud, but they should all serve a few years and quit complaining about what they dont have... grow a pair... and some damn respect for those who came before them.

To clarify, All maps here are based on leaked or unconfirmed information (depending on the area and map you are looking at. Sprint's internal Network Even Board that the reps look at, only show NV updates that are expected to take extended time. Upgrades that are on track and can be finished entirely within a small period and with minimal interruption of service are not posted in there. In addition, the NEB only shows currently open tickets, and historical tickets closed within the last 14 days.

 

Also keep in mind just about any corporate company you call, you're not talking to an employee of that company. You're talking to someone that works for a company contracted to operate the call centers for that company. AFNI, Convergys, etc. They're paid close to minimum wage, and deal with people yelling at them all day for nothing they've done. Most have very basic training because turnover in the industry is astronomical (6 months is a long time). Most will just read the script because they don't know what to do otherwise, and if your issue doesn't fit the script, you're screwed. Source: I have many friends that work in call centers for various companies.

I can only imagine the tickets for 4th St @ Laurel in Baton Rouge looks like on that system with all the tickets bigzeto and I have opened on that thing over the years, not to mention recently that one EVDO channel has been broken since November. Or maybe they have just been playing us and not opening tickets on it ;)

    • 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.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
