Don't know off the top of my head, I mostly go off of Sensorly for that, it's showing signal in the area now.

 

You can check the map yourself to see which towers are live right now.

We've had a tower marked as complete down there for some time, about time someone saw some LTE! Make sure to run Sensorly! Until then, I can't mark the city as Pre-Launch.

I put together a map of cities where Sprint has already announced LTE, and the communities that Sprint has announced will have LTE soon. I have also marked the cities that have LTE available in the area, but are not yet launched. These are marked as Pre-Launch cities.

 

In total, there are about 318 cities or communities that have LTE or are slated to receive LTE soon.

 

I will update the map as more cities are launched, or Sprint adds more cities to the coming soon list.

KEY:

Coming Soon: Sprint has announced LTE will be coming in the next several months

Launched: Sprint has formally announced LTE in this area

Pre-Launch: This city has been announced by Sprint, LTE is available, but not formally launched.

LTE Available: This city has not been announced, but LTE is available in some locations.

Why is Daytona listed as coming soon, when it is on the first 100 list of cities to get LTE ?

Because it's coming soon? I'm not sure I follow your question. There is no LTE as of yet, so therefore it's still listed as Coming Soon.

All this talk about cleveland, ohio what about Toledo??? I have been told by sprint employees that we should have it this summer yet I don't see in this list? One employee confirmed they had tested lte here in october.

 

Only cities that have been officially announced are on the map. If Sprint follows the pattern it has been in, we should see more cities announced in the next couple of weeks. Work has yet to mobilize in the Ohio markets as far as I know. However things should be underway soon. Even so, it'll likely be up to a couple of months after work starts before we start seeing the new equipment come online.

i wouldn't trust those people, tho the summer part sounds about right with at least LTE somewhere in our market, I also have a map of permits in the sponsor section as well of our market.

Anyone know how signal is around urbana or champaign?

 

No LTE yet but I haven't had a problem using the voice network in the Champaign-Urbana area. 3G data is slow but that may have improved since the last time I was through that area.

Not that weird; the Sprint Georgia market is a 3rd/4th round market, while Atlanta was 1st round. It's actually a bit surprising they've gone ahead with the 3G Ground Mount sites rather than waiting to do everything at once (without going too deeply into sponsor info, only a few of the sites that are "live" so far in the Georgia market are not GMOs).

 

My guess is now that most of the 2nd round markets are picking up steam and Atlanta-Athens is on the downswing the Georgia market will start getting more 4G love in the next month or two.

I was in Quincy a few days ago and EVDO kept disappearing on the phone. Full bars voice but when it went to connect to EVDO it was just a tower icon.

 

I was in Bloomington Monday and the data is useless there. Anytime data tried to connect it timed out or gave a network busy error. Kind of wonder if it is harder to find cards and such for the equipment iPCS used. It seems like the iPCS markets are in worse shape than the Alamosa markets. I think the iPCS markets were even more spectrum constrained than the Alamosa markets which plays into the problems.

Went around and looked in Quincy. No Sprint RRUs that I could make out. I did find that T-Mobile has been rather busy in the area having several towers upgraded recently. I'm not sure if Sprint is on the tower near 54th and Broadway but that tower is in the running for having the most panels of any tower I have seen. http://www.americantower.com/SiteLocator/SiteBrochure.aspx?lngSiteId=82852&towerId=0&towerNumber=277318&country=united%20states

So, I'm looking at my HTC Evo LTE here in St Louis, MO in the Brentwood area (63117), and My 4g is turned on! 7114 kbps down, 2697 kbps up. That's the best I've had outside of Kansas City last time I visted. Hope they leave it on! Maybe I'll stay with sprint after all....

    • Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.
    • Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile. 
    • T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.
    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.  
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
