And not a single mention of the Buffalo market, even though the local guys say we're supposed to have it by October...

 

Workers and equipment are mobilizing now in the Buffalo and Rochester markets.

I do hope so. The local guys did say our speeds down here in Chautauqua County would be better than Buffalo for much of the year...

I just hope the weather breaks here soon, it has been cold for so long, no sign of spring yet, and i know from past experience that work gets completed much slower when its cold, im sure ten fold when ur on a tower 100 to 200 feet in the air. Once the weather warms up around here im sure things will move even faster!

Utah is a later-round market. Certainly it will get NV, along with every other "native" Sprint market (the affiliates are a bit more up in the air), but "when" is not clear yet. There's no official word but pretty much every market should be well underway by end of 2013 and most will be underway sooner, including Utah.

 

On Utah specifically, another member has dug up some info on building permits in Salt Lake County that's available to sponsors at http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3353-utah-nv-build-permit-map/ So while I can't really say what the member has found in exact terms, I will say that it is clear that Sprint's contractors are already active in the market doing some site work; that doesn't however mean that backhaul's in place or that new antennas are installed yet (it could be cabinets or electrical feed or any one of the other parts of the site upgrade that has to come together).

Does anyone know what market Belleville or Collinsville Illinois (metro stl) would fall under? And what round it's in?

 

Missouri market. It's in the third round and is beginning now.

Rumors (fairly reliable ones) have the NV rollout schedule for Buffalo pegged for the end of April. Hopefully by then we'll get an accurate assessment as to when it is actually going to take place. Most of the things that are being said peg the Buffalo market to be done by August, now there wasn't any real specification if it would be done by August or if it would've been done starting by August :P

Yeah, I figured it was something like that. If the local guys aren't spouting total BS (and all the complainers' observations pan out), they'll start down in the Southern Tier (which is good for me, since I live in Jamestown) and leave the City of Buffalo proper for last. If it's the other way around, then I'll be stuck in 2G land for a loooooooooooooooong time...

I have looked for Metro East sites. So far, nothing yet. If I do see sites in progress I will let everyone know.

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to be patient with this 3G but at speeds of 100kbps or slower at peak times it gets harder and harder.. Lol

So I might be attending college in Moorhead, Minnesota within a few years, and I'm planning on switching to Sprint so I was wondering when the Dakotas Market would start. I found an article mentioning the Dakotas market was next to the Minnesota market, but after that, I can't find anything mentioning the Dakotas? Estimated start time??

Considering that network vision will be pretty close to done by the end of this year will a little work going into 2014, U will have no problems having lte, voice on 800 and lte 800 by the time u goto school up in moorhead,mn. Dakotas are a third round market and will be starting soon, it is a small market. So it won't take long once it starts

Not quite sure where Moorhead, MN is, but if you are within 100Miles of the Canadian border, then don't count on any SMR services until the FCC and Canadian equivalent come to an agreement on interference.

It's right across the river from Fargo, ND. It's about 200 miles from Canada I believe

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
