I was given a rough estimate of when the Rushville site will be on air with 4G...end of May. If that happens remains to be seen. They do have an easier time with that particular site as it already has fiber. Fiber (Cass Comm) was run to the Industry, Rushville, Frederick, Beardstown, Virginia, and Pleasant Plains towers when they were installed in 08-09.

I'm planning to attend the University of Illinois this fall and it would be nice to see some lte near urbana and champaign

 

It will get there eventually. I wouldn't be surprised to see LTE appearing in the next month or so in the central IL market. Once they start It seems like the first month or two goes kind of slow but after that things really move. I hope Sprint adds more coverage with them taking over the USCC PCS in the area. I doubt it will happen but one can always wish.

Well I certainly hope you're right :D

Just FYI

 

Orange Country California (Irvine, Lake Forest area) has been having an LTE signal turning on and off for weeks now. Hope they get it up and running soon.

 

Rancho Santa Margarita (where I live) has been having a steady LTE signal, just not over a wide area.

Orange county, San Bernardino, and San Diego have been marked on the map for quite some time as having LTE available.

I just wish it was reliable. I know they're probablly still tweaking things, but that LTE signal in Irvine is hardly usable.

Until the market is launched, there's not much that can be done. Signals will come and go as testing and adjustments are done. Even after launched, the market will not be complete and work will continue. It will likely be several more months before LTE signals start to stabilize and become usable over a widespread region.

Central Illinois market is officially under way now. First three sites accepted yesterday. Sites are shown in the Sponsor NV Sites Complete map.

Surprised they have gotten anything done with all this rain. Glad to hear it is underway and I hope this improves the signal which seems to have dropped off according to the coverage maps. I have experienced it with my phone but as I posted elsewhere the radio isn't working right.

Update.

 

Added Corpus Christi, TX as LTE Available!

Bloomington/Normal is still garbage. Coming in to town on Veterans Parkway has things die once you get past Menards/Home Depot.

 

It'll likely get worse before I gets better. But now Samsung has started.

Amen to that, bloomington/normal is pretty much a huge dead zone... I basically get timeouts and dns errors everywhere in town.

Bad deal when it is impossible sometimes to even get a text message out. If you are leaving town (heading north on Veterans Parkway) - the data speeds are awesome once you get past Furniture Row/Menards. I have actually sat in the Menards parking lot and got 600-800kb down with my phone still hanging on to the tower in Lexington. As soon as I get out of the parking lot (before I cross Ft Jesse,) it grabs some tower in Blono that I am assuming is majorly overloaded.

 

Even farther north - near Chenoa - still on 3g, I have seen 1mb down!

 

Also saw that the tower that is nearest me (CH03IP807) is OEM'ed Samsung. I am about 6-7 miles away - will be interesting to see if/when they light up LTE here if I can get that near my house!

Hopefully NV helps with the congestion issue, right now unless its like 3 am data is completely useless. I was actually in the Sprint store next to Fresh Market this afternoon and even there the display phones timed out loading a simple page... I'll be so glad when LTE is rolled out. :)

Why are there two different pins for Daytona, Port Orange, Ormond?

 

Should there not be? Sprint lists the location as "Daytona Beach-Deltona-Ormond Beach," so I split it into three pins so you can see all the communities they are listing.

I suppose, among Network Vision markets, this makes Denver almost the last dinosaur.

 

 

:P

    • 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?
