from 3/11 overnight.  No changes detected in Ohio. Check areas you know to see if any areas have been launched.http://coverage.sprint.com/IMPACT.jsp?INTNAV=SJS:HE:Cov

The DC/RVA area is still purple. I am surprised they aren't at least launching some of the DMV exurbs.

Our Dept of Motor Vehicle offices in South Dakota are kind of small. Our DMV's don't even have suburbs, let alone exurbs!!

I've always wished they would fix their LTE layer calculations...the exaggeration is just so bad.

Totally agree with you according to their map I should have excellent LTE coverage at my house, instead of have none, but that is what WiFi is for.  ;)

All the carriers maps are horrible, Sprint is a little more accurate then At&t, and T is 2nd to last, Big V is the absolute worse in my opinion at least with A,S, & T you CAN zoom into neighborhood level to at LEAST get a GENERAL idea of coverage. Big V alls they care to show you is yup your covered, just like those stupid "reality check" INACCURATE maps they pull all the time.  Again this is just MY OPINION. :)

I long for the Sprint coverage map to resemble a cross between the C-Spire map (and some of its cool features) and the old Clear map.

The C-Spire map is great. That, plus tower locations, would be killer.

I liked the old Clear maps too BUT they ONLY wanted you to see the "market launched" tower locations only which until I came onto here it frankly sucked (just being honest).  There were times I went into a Clear 4G area but it was an area that was not an offical launch, so I had no idea where the tower/antennas were.

Sprint's voice map is pretty close for my area. Now if only they can get that guy to do the LTE layer for the map.

I agree!  Thats why I rated them how I did S,A,T&V. I would of put them S,T,A &V (best to worst maps) but T-mobiles new "pink" awful map is HORRIBLE! There old maps were so much better.

If sprint has the best map of the 4 then American carriers are some big ass liars

Even looking at an 800 LTE (band 26) run I made, the map shows LTE service continuing for another 1.5 miles in very hilly terrain.

How are they going to update these maps for 800 MHz? I just switched from a iPhone 5s to 5 on the map and it showed no difference in coverage. When I know in fact, when LTE 800 is launched here it will be a considerable difference between the 2 phones.

 

Edit: I realize my market does not have 80 LTE yet. I assume that the coverage maps "Calculate" for 800 LTE?

Yea I also think that they shouldn't be showing coverage for 800cdma and 800let on the coverage maps when I for once have never picked up either. Which they probably think that they will have a good percentage of both deployed by year ends time from what I understand besides ibez. Just my opinion which I'm not premier sponsor but they better start having some massive updates to hit their goal by years end. I really hope they do or I would be happy with a lte roaming agreement with bluegrass celluar cause they have great coverage pretty much everywhere sprint doesn't.

Spark Turbo by my house? I'm lucky to get a usable LTE signal on Band 25 if I'm indoors. Once I get the mythical Spark update on my N5 I'll walk around the neighborhood and see...

same here

Sprint's map shows a pocket of off-network roaming around my mom & dad's house 2 hours south of here, and yet 'fair' 4G LTE coverage most of the way around that pocket.

 

The biggest problem with this is the fact that the closest Sprint tower at all is a good 5-6 miles away in north Alabama as the crow flies, and even if the tower has very recently been LTE updated and the acceptance just hasn't made it to Robert yet, I can guarantee you there's no way LTE signal would make it up there much less even further north of it, because I constantly am flipping between the faintest of Sprint 3G data signals (even after being NV 3G complete) and roaming on Verizon at mom & dad's, and even a little over a mile back on the main highway (mom & dad's place is a little over a mile down a state road east of the main 4-lane), I can barely hold onto a Sprint 3G data connection there either.

 

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would bother wasting time with the Sprint map assuming they have any knowledge of Sensorly.com to begin with.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      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.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.
