I finally got a house in Rapid City. Waiting on the landlord this very second to bring me the keys. Glad to not be staying in camping trailer through this storm!

Congrats Robert.  Make sure you stock up on milk, bread, and fried chicken before you lock in for the duration of the blizzard!

If there is any left in town lol. Work was a complete madhouse this afternoon, you would have thought the world was ending. Although i have to admit the thought of 24 inches of snow the first week of October is hard to stomach. Congrats on the house Robert and thanks for the info on the site location.

 

Edit: Thats some pretty good reach for 1 site if i can pull in 2 bars from 5 miles away when i am at work and without direct line-of-site.  - Jeff

I thought trailers attracted tornadoes, not blizzards.

 

:P

They are expecting between 6" -18" around Rapid City and the Black Hills from tonight through Saturday morning. Don't they know it's the first week of October? Sheesh!

Just a few inches of snow. You know, nothing major. 

 

;)

We received about 24"-36" of snow at my house with drifts up to 6' in places. I have no power. But I'm very happy to be in a house. The basement is holding 55°. So I'm holed up there.

 

It took me 5 hours to shovel a path from my front door to the road. Just a path. But I have a camp stove and I think I'm going to heat up some spaghettios. Then I will go do some more digging out!

It is good to know you are indoors and dry. While your constant messages are genuinely missed, your safety is MUCH more meaningful!

As to the lack of Sprint service, you can just dot the countryside with airaves.

I bet New Mexico is sounding really good right about now. But, I suppose the picturesque environment and lack of most allergens make up for all that shoveling. Maybe you can enter a log tossing competition in the summer once you build up your "guns".

About half the snow melted today. It's supposed to hit 60°F tomorrow. It will probably all melt but the north sides in the shadows. But I still have no power. I charge my devices in the car. I have to keep increasing my Verizon hotspot data allotment. Since it's my only internet access. Damn capped data!

Welcome to the north Robert! Back when I was in like 4th grade I think(I'm 33 now) we had a Halloween blizzard. Pretty much shut everything down and we couldn't go trick or treating. Most depressing things ever! We lost power and there was no tv and all I can remember is being more concerned about not being able to go out and get some candy, October can be a very weird month!

You should sign up with Sprint. They have unlimited data.

 

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

I think in Rapid City it is un-Sprint limited data.

I hope you get your power back soon! I guess a snowblower will be on the list of items that need to be purchased. I myself am a fan of shoveling, but if you have significant amounts of pavement to clear sometimes you just don't have 5 hours to do it all. buy a gas powered one, for obvious reasons. The most reliable by reputation seem to be Snapper or Toro.

    • 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?
