Comments related to the NV Running List Thread


Recommended Posts

Phoenix is in the beginning stages of being deployed, a lot of sites in progress and a few sites 3g accepted. I will let u know that alcatel-lucent likes to get the site done and 3g accepted then 4g goes live a few weeks after or sometimes a month or two after. I am glad to see your excited about seeing 4g coming to the valley, yet I am in phoenix for business right now. Honestly it isn't that bad, I have been in a lot worse places for work and the 3g took forever to even load google.

 

Please don't take this the wrong way, but robert is really busy with his main job that pays the bills for his family. He does this on his own time and honestly I am amazed how much the site gets updated. Robert is trying to not get mad at some people for asking questions about each own market, when the website has individual market pages letting everyone know what is going on. He understands everyone is excited about 4g, but he gets that question every day by tons of people. The answers are normally in this website, just have to do a little looking around.

 

This is as good a time as any to say Thanks to Robert for working so hard to keep us in the know!

Just wanted to share an observation on my drive home from work today...

 

I spotted the Deep South Crane Co. erecting **Beavis chuckle** a brand new tower off of the 210 loop here in Lake Charles.

 

Needless to say...I was a tad bit excited. :w00t:

I hope the NV running list gets updated with the latest percentages so we can all use it as a barometer to see how much progress has been made in each market. Some markets have really moved up.

I believe Ian will work on this in the next day or two.

Is Puerto rico about to finish first with nv upgrades because they are a small market or sprint has worked on them nostop?

 

Kind of hard for the crews to drive anywhere from PR. So they are kind of stuck working there.

central jersey seems to be stuck at %25, hope they make some bounding leaps now that the weather is hopefully breaking.

also i thought i read somewhere that around %40-%50 completion that coverage is pretty good anyway, is that true?. Last question where is the break in the CNJ and northern NJ markets. THanks for the help, finally get to upgrade my phone after 22 months tomorrow and am very excited about NV. Catching alot of flak from my friends that im staying with sprint, but NV is promising and so is unlimited data when they are stuck at 2gb with big red or ma bell.

Around 40-50% sprint likes to launch the market. Sometimes they launch it earlier, but around 40 to 50% coverage should be good, but not everywhere you go.

Central Jersey is not like most markets. Not much density, based on the suburban/exurban and rural nature of the area. It will take a higher percentage to launch this market.

All I know is when that weird looking thing pulls into or out of the water, I expect this music to be playing...

@S4GRU BTW love your site. With the CNJ market, by density u mean the spacing of the towers right, since they are farther apart u need more to get the coverage? Who is handling the NV in Jersey is that Alcatel/Lucent?. Been looking around during my travels trying to find a site that has active upgrades to talk to the workers. Any way i can find out where some active upgrade site are through permits or other way....tks

Yes...density is the spacing between sites. Much greater in the CNJ market that most. Alcatel Lucent is Sprint's vendor in your market. You can try searching for permit online, but in you area there are so many cities and townships that can be a real challenge.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
