Feed it to the ghost of Randall Stephenson. He keeps threatening to consume the wireless industry, so we throw old antennas and radios down for him to feed on to keep him quiet.

From the pictures I saw some time back, I think on Wikipedia, it looked as if some of that equipment was ancient, the coloring made it look as if it had wood paneling...

AT&T still has EDGE only sites, though they're finally going away. I wish 2G GSM would get put out of its misery by this point. Even my town has Faux G now, we were one of the last places to get it.

The last EDGE only AT&T site I was aware of in Northern New Mexico received WCDMA finally over the summer. It only ran about 1-2Mbps, but it was welcome over EDGE. I haven't found any EDGE only sites so far in South Dakota.

 

There is still a lot of EDGE though in both New Mexico and South Dakota though. But they are on roaming partners. In NM, Commnet EDGE service showed as native on AT&T.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
