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 ar

Update!   In the two weeks since the last update, 48 new cities have newly received LTE coverage! Most notably, Phoenix, Arizona. We have also been able to add a few more communities in Ohio, as wel

The following communities have been marked with TD-LTE. I want to be clear on what this means. It means that these cities are part of Clearwire's initial TD-LTE rollout, and is expected to be complete

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....

 

if you can, be sure to plot out any new lte areas with the sensorly app

If they are in the same Sprint market, then yes. I don't know if they are in the same Sprint market.

uhhh, i hope they get Tucson soon..

 

You've got upgrades going on now! Whatever Sprint says with their little press releases is nothing compared with actually seeing boots on the ground and work being done. Full build sites are going on, so it's only a matter of time before LTE starts going live. Probably another month or so judging by the length of time it took to get Las Vegas going.

yes tyler Longview and Jacksonville are all in the east texas market

 

Well, the East Texas market is already in progress, so you will be seeing upgrades going on. In fact, there's already some sites upgraded in Tyler, so it's only a matter of backhaul at this point.

I wish that I could find a video clip because, folks, you have not lived until you have seen this Saturday Night Live sketch. "Civil War Memories: Ordinary Americans who never completed high school look back at the war between the states."

 

The sketch video is great, as it is done in the archival documentary and talking heads style of Ken Burns. Alas, I can find only the transcript:

As a Civil War Skit, it rates right up there with Col. Angus.

I know they are doing it but from the map point of view it looks like they are moving at a snail's pace. My patience is just running thin, i got the whole "Oh yeah 4G will be up in a few months" when i got my phone almost 2 years ago. Then i come here and find out wimax is dead.

 

I know its moving and it will be here soon, guess i just have to keep waiting..

The Sprint site in Rushville, IL. These pics are also from the American Tower site as they seem to take great pics. Nothing has been done yet but these provide a great reference point.

Info from the site:

bullet.gifSite Name:RUSHVILLE IL

bullet.gifSite Number:273471

FCC 1271373

Unfortunately, it looks like there's an AT&T sticker on the shelter door. Usually there's a label next to the power meter as well, but I didn't see one.

 

 

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.

 

That's what happens when there are upgrades in the area. I don't know why.

 

but that tower is in the running for having the most panels of any tower I have seen. http://www.americant...united%20states

 

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/09qgcz5xejq1d29/zUhHU6ouQ7 I think I have you beat. ;-) There's actually another I've seen off of 294 that has 5 or 6 full carriers deployed on it.

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.

 

No,not improvement in the 3G area in Champagin Urbana. Painfully slow, hard to stream even radio. Don't thinkabout watching video. yes, the voice network is ok, put data is just horrid. And no LTE yet.

We don't have a lot of info right now about progress in central Illinois, however we have been told that the remaining Samsung markets should be kicking in over the next month or so. We should see work starting then late Spring, with noticeable improvements by early Summer.

I was in Bloomington a few weeks ago and data was useless. Lots of network busy errors or the page would just time out. I wish the 3G was at least somewhat usable. They haven't really done much for network improvements on the 3G side according to the Sprint site. I would guess some of that may be due to the hardware in place in the iPCS footprint.

It takes a while to ramp up, most markets once they're in their grove get around 8 - 10 sites per week. Some, obviously way more, some less, especially at the beginning. Alcatel Lucent only does 3G for several months. Once they start doing LTE, it can pop up anywhere, it's not always the 3G accepted sites that get the initial wave of LTE.

Guess im just not getting it. It seems weird the way they are doing it but it must have a point.

 

Back to the waiting game!

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      By JossMan · Posted

      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?
