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

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.

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

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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By cooltech6597 · Posted

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
