Forum Newbie, please be gentle.....

 

Is there a map that will list Sprint towers in a particular area?  I'd like to know where the towers in my area are, how to check them out, etc.  With Sprint sucking bad in my area, I'm contemplating leaving them.  But, if I can get an idea of where towers are, and find out what sort of upgrades if any have been done, I might find a way to convince myself to stay! (I'd almost hate to go back to Verizon!)

Thanks guys!

Let me be the first to say, Welcome to S4GRU. We do offer maps that show where sites are in your area as well as other maps that show the progress of Sprint Network Vision upgrades in your area. Those maps are available to sponsors of S4GRU. Browse around a little bit, check out the Sacramento Market thread and if you'd like more information and feel inclined to, make a donation and those additional maps and details will become available to you.

 

Again, :welcome:  to S4GRU.

Welcome to S4GRU! I just came to point you to our FAQ ( http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1704-Frequently-Asked-Questions) which will also answer some of your questions. Please consider donating a few dollars towards keeping this site running and you'll get access to the awesome sponsor maps of every Sprint site in the country!

 

Sacramento is definitely not in the best place right now, but take it from someone in sf (the other most behind market on the west coast) things get much better.

Welcome.

 

As mentioned above, look at the FAQ and in my sig is the directory of maps. Some are accessible, while others are accessible only if you are a sponsor, 

 

Read, post and learn, but have fun doing it.

For what you get, the price of the maps is very cheap.  It's really cool to be able to watch progress happen almost live.

 

Also, it's an interesting study in network design, at least if you know the areas and their population densities.

Yep, that's the public site. Doesn't show every site. Just ones that have received some sort of enhancement in the past six months. And Sprint doesn't provide details.

 

S4GRU sponsor maps are color coded and show exactly what kind of 3G/4G upgrades have occurred, and data about each site. Like Site ID numbers, switch locations, markets, etc. Also, our maps get updated every couple of days and show exactly what changed from the last update. Best for tracking Network Vision/LTE deployment.

I agree the public site is VERY generic, and its map is blah at best lol.  I love how you have yours color coded and all, its been very helpful ever since I have been a member of your awesome site!

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.

      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?
