Columbus Market BID tracking thread (Non-sponsors welcome!)


UPdownLoAD

Recommended Posts

The Columbus Sponsors have added a new tab to our spreadsheet for tracking. We are now going to be tracking the BIDs for the Columbus Market!

 

You can find the Official Spreadsheet thread with the fruits of our efforts here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4742-columbus-market-mapspreadsheet/ This link is only accessible if you are a sponsor. As of now, any donation of $5+ or more will get you sponsor access for the next 6 months. We know times are tough, but this site can't be maintained without your support. You can find information on becoming a sponsor here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1195-information-about-s4gru-sponsorship-levels-and-how-to-become-a-sponsor/

 

We need your help, Sponsors and non. We want posts of your Signal Check (Pro) showing your BIDs. If possible, we would like to get all 3 BIDs for each site. Since there are @400 sites in the Columbus market, we decided to start a new thread for tracking.

 

Hopefully, we'll have a lot of participation. As this is in a public/non-sponsor forum, all non-sponsor rules apply (PLEASE DO NOT POST SITE IDs!!!).

Woh! NID of 160 breaks everything in the Columbus Market!!! I've only seen 204/214 here. Could it be that another market "adopted" those sites, or have we picked up on a new pattern (possible B26/41 deployment)?

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
