That's what I thought. Hopefully they can get it working.

 

Don't forget there's the spreadsheet & interactive map for the Louisiana market to look up things that others are reporting in the area.  Let me know if you want to be an editor of the sheet as well.

I have been keeping watch on the Lake St (Greengate) tower since I can almost see it from my house. I know it's a legacy tower, nut seeing that Sprint upgraded the Prien/Ernest billboard would that put Lake next?  Do they do this in any logical order?

Yes, the logical order is to work on the sites that are ready to start and have backhaul. If you are looking for a geographic order you will not find one as it does not make any business sense.

I now feel dumberer after reading all the comments about the article.... :dazed:

Hahaha.. I love the comments that say XYZ city doesn't have it but such and such does? When you look at Sensorly and know that isn't true. Shows you the true user base out there that the carriers have to deal with on a daily basis.

Some of them where almost predictable! If I was in the mood (and had time) I might stir up some trouble by posting the truth...

I was able to pick up a weak lte signal around the hospital in Sulphur. Maybe the tower is around Ruth st.?

You are a sponsor with access to the sheet and map I update daily. Check the serving cell against others on the clickable map. Instructions are in the thread in the sponsor area.

    • Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
