Hey people, how about we move non-NV deployment talk to a new thread and quit hijacking Robert's

 

Denny, as long as they are talking about how wonderful S4GRU is, I don't mind so much. :hah:

All I want to hear about is where Richmond, VA falls onto the schedule? It looks like we're being surrounded with D.C. primed and Charlotte waiting in the wings.

No word on San Diego?

 

No Wimax, and typical "3G" speeds in 170kbps range. I gave up 3Mbps on T-Mobile for this a year ago! Bad decision.

I have the word on San Diego. But I am announcing them in order. Stay tuned.

any word on MPLS ST. Paul markets. And how do you find out what markets are, is there a map that shows the break up of the markets.

 

We aren't ready to announce the Minnesota market yet. We are scrambling on making market maps for all 97 markets. However, we haven't done Minnesota yet. Stay tuned. We will hopefully have more maps in the next week!

Sprint is giving the Twin Cities the cold shoulder.

I know I'm taking a long shot here, but it would be nice to know if Phoenix or Tucson would be included in this years deployment.

I live in Yuma AZ and usually get upgraded once Tucson gets their upgrades.

I'm Thinking (read: hoping) Phoenix will start this year, however if it is, pry not starting till late in the year. (fingers crossed!) We should find out here in the next week or so, I would imagine. Heres looking forward to more S4GRU.com updates!

I should be able to make some more. I am thinking of changing the highlight color though as the yellow is hard to look at sometimes. I did it for the sprint color but I might go with a blue or red to make it easier to see. Let me know your thoughts.

I liked the idea of Sprint yellow. However, yellow does make it difficult to view. I'm not big on red or blue though given the associations with Verizon and ATT. I wouldn't use magenta either. ;)

 

Any other color should look good. Maybe a green or orange?

So Robert what you are saying is that here in Chicago were getting some LTE love this October? Didn't know you have this inside info, just would like to say thank you for keeping me updated. If it weren't for you I would have jumped ship already.

Yeah I was thinking the same about the colors. Maybe purple?

If everything stays on schedule, the entire Chicago market should be done in early October. I am planning a Chicago market follow up article in the next week. Just waiting on a couple of return calls.

    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

    • Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
