bigredjeep Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I was jut driving by the tower out by my house and they were working on it. I stopped and talked to them and they told me they should have the new radio's and Antenna's up by the end of tomorrow. This tower is at Deer Flat and Ten Mile. I was told that once sprint has done the radio test's they will turn up the tower which might be as soon as Monday or Tuesday. This is good news. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed4evr Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Those tests look good for a market that hasn't even been announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoP3t3_ Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 I have 4gLTE in Boise at work now too. We're off Franklin between Five Mile and Maple Grove. So there are more towers being turned on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmonroe221 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 They don't announce the market until it's almost completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner068 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 If you live in southeast Idaho I drove by the cell cite in Blackfoot and they had crews working on the tower. They had caution tape up everywhere and it looked like they were running new cable to the top. Looks like they might be starting to do some work on this side of the state. One of the empty crates said hybrid cable on it. Not sure if that is the fiber optic used for Backhaul or not. Guess we will see soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid cable is usually run from the basestation to the RRUs on the tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmobile brought up LTE in Pocatello and Rexburg in the last couple weeks with blackfoot and Idaho Falls supposedly going live soon. We've ran into t-mo contractors like crazy down here in utah. Seems like we see them more than we do sprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah T-mobile is on a different tower plus they had an article in the newspaper where they interviewed the crew doing the work and they said they were installing Sprint 4G/LTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed4evr Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I am curious to see what T-Mobile's LTE speeds in Pocatello, but only know 2 people who have em. But this good news for Sprint customers in SE idaho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff94 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I connected to 1x on 800MHz last night by Federal Way and Broadway! In a low 1900MHz signal area. Will upload screenshot later today. Im on PRL 16015, it showed as Roaming but was still on sprint. Also didn't maintain a separate 3G/4G connection on 1900MHz like it did when I was in Chicago. I'm on a SGS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanner068 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The cell site in Pocatello behind the Mystic Theater looks like it has new RRU's up. Not sure how long after the RRU's are up before we get enhanced 3G or LTE but at least something is happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed4evr Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 In our Sprint system it shows that tower is getting voice capacity upgrades this month, hopefully they do the network vision upgrade.

jeff94 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Now seeing 1x800 while also connected to eHRPD off Boise and Broadway. My phone was roaming on Cricket late last night while they presumably made the upgrade, woke up to 1x800. SID: 22408 PRL 16015 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
