Some cities that will be seeing their official launch:
Colorado Springs - CO,
Yuma - AZ,
Salt Lake City - UT,
Reno/Sparks - NV,
McAllen -TX, and more. We'll get the full list when they issue the press release.

 

I tried to determine new cities with the coverage map, but there's just so much orange now! I suppose that's a good problem to have.... :D

seems Odd that no CT mentions yet many towns have been lit up since July?

Yeah, not sure about that. Perhaps they haven't reached the 40% pops coverage required, or some other limitation. One of the requirements is that the city center is covered before they launch.

 

The amount of Orange coverage around New Haven did increase, but there's no mention of that in the press release.

I am surprised Gatlinburg and eastern Tennessee are not included this time.

 

Not "as far as Gatlinburg."  I guess it must be the "Smoky Mountain Rain" slowing progress...

Since this is a switch to Ericsson equipment from another vendor, it suffers CSFB issues.  Sprint says they will not launch markets officially until CSFB upgrades are complete in that market.

why is there a T-mobile ad on the map on the 1st page???  :hee:  :hee:  :hee:

 

And while i am happy to see Utah "announced" ... I still find it silly, when they have left the other half (north) out in the cold until Feb...or so I have heard till then...

 

Thats kind of a big hole they left

I guess I never noticed. I use an Ad Blocker in Chrome so I sometimes miss those kinds of things.

The equipment is all there. Soon for sure but not sure when exactly.

Bakersfield is pretty much done with the exceptions of the corners.  Kind of a bummer since thats where all the new housing is built.  Really leaves a lot of gaps unless you are next to the freeways.  No progress in the last couple of weeks.  It was moving strong until they decided to quit upgrading the surrounding areas.

Every site has been upgraded.

 

The ones without LTE are waiting on backhaul, and it's anyone's guess when that might arrive. Backhaul companies have been slow delivering, and there's not a lot Sprint can do about that.

Really a bummer. The towers in the southwest are pretty new towers. Hopefully they will get it together and fill the gaps.

 

They've got it together. If you want to complain to someone, complain to the local ISP contracted to bring in the high speed connection. They're the one's holding Sprint up at this point.

    • 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?
