lilotimz Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Should see if he wants a beer this weekend and pry more out of him. You can always ask if they're overbuilding Swiftel... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDuncanZ Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 That sort of information might not be able to be released on this forum if one even obtained it. Atleast not without proper incentive Could excite certain members too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frecklenutz Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I saw a blip of LTE in Alexandria the other day, also around there towers seem like they are being taken off line for times. Hopefully that means good things to come. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyvarga Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Noticed the tower just north of fergus has been dead. And are they updating the tower in the middle of town on top of the old grain elevator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDuncanZ Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 This morning I seen a bunch of trucks sitting by some conduit that had been sitting on the Boulevard since November, on my drive home the conduit was in the ground. A stretch between two towers on legacy backhaul got 17 blocks closer today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozamcrew Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Noticed the tower just north of fergus has been dead. And are they updating the tower in the middle of town on top of the old grain elevator? Everything is Fergus Falls has been 3G accepted, but no LTE yet. I assume they are waiting on backhaul. The tower in the middle of town appears to still be using the legacy antennas. I was hoping they'd put then new gear a block away on the empty tower in the Century link parking lot. You'd think getting backhaul to that would be pretty easy! Also, you would be able to sit the antennas higher which might improve the coverage in certain areas. That or move to two sites instead, one on the west end of town and one further east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvarga Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 So are there any plans for that tower in the middle of town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozamcrew Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 So are there any plans for that tower in the middle of town? The 3G upgrade has been completed but there is no LTE yet, I'm assuming it's because the backhaul wasn't installed when it was 3G upgraded. It doesn't have new NV antennas though, so no 800Mhz CDMA or LTE will be coming from this site until it gets new NV antennas or if they decide to move to a new site.

ZDuncanZ Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Couple more sites were live this morning, starting to get a pretty solid network up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvarga Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Heard rumors that they wont be installing that on that tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozamcrew Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Heard rumors that they wont be installing that on that tower Well they can't just get rid of it, they will eventually have to put up the new antennas or move to a new site (or sites). The sites on either side of town aren't going to provide adequate coverage in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL421 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I don't know why they wouldn't upgrade that tower, it provides coverage for most of the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjplaetz Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Anyone have news about Marshall Minnesota. Saw a glimpse of 4g there today at work. I have signal check pro and my phone alerted me it was there for 5 minutes then gone. They have a new tower on the south side of town. They added equipment to an att tower. It still isn't on sprints coverage map but it is on this site upgrade map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Downtown Alexandria, MN area now 4G LTE, but Pilgrim Point site just outside north city limits of Alexandria still 3G 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frecklenutz Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Pilgrim Point had LTE for a bit this morning, that is the tower I get at home and work so it was nice to at least see some progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watch This Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Discouragement setting in here in Grand Forks. No signs of anything happening. 3 lines due for upgrades, and really contemplating things here.

Somebody talk me off the ledge.... It likely will be soon. But we have no timelines. If you wait you'll be glad you did. However, if you cannot wait, we understand. You gotta do what you gotta do. I'm still waiting on AT&T LTE here in South Dakota. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert I've been with Sprint for 10 years, dealt with all the bashing, and have tried to convince people Sprint isn't as bad as people say. So, i am sure I am going to stick it out with them to see where this goes. Ironically, after my post yesterday, I saw digging equipment by a Sprint tower that I drive by everyday. I am hoping that is for the fiber backhaul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthawks Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 ok guys im in the Denver area and will be going to Sturgis next year and looking at the maps im a bit discouraged. Obviously thats a long ways away and things are changing by the minute so just like some info on what service is like there now. However im wondering what swiftell is? I read on here that sprint is building new towers and if they are do we know where? Thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
