This was a few weeks ago.  Give a little cheer to other Arizonians.   There is some movement on the network here.

This is exactly what is wrong with city councils all across the country, they are dominated by white haired NIMBYs. When the one guy started going off about not supporting "that monstrosity" I think I vomited a little. People don't see cell sites until you point them out.

In this suburb, you're right. Almost all sites there are stealth sites that are either painted and mounted on utility poles, on top of buildings that reside on hills, or flag poles.

 

The problem is the larger pole that is supposed to feed back-haul to all the small cells. Seems like they are settling for a few semi tall poles instead of one massive pole to feed the small cells in disguise.

We have had this discussion before, I have no wish to have it again. I understand your sympathies rest with the NIMBYs. But no, people don't even notice huge monopoles unless someone who knows what they are points them out.

I think your reading failed you a bit. Where in my post did I take a stance for or against small cells? I'm simply relaying the sentiments that the city council expressed in this meeting.

 

It's also very accurate to say that Cave Creek residents don't notice cell towers. But that's only because the town has forced all carriers to camouflage their equipment one form or another. The only Sprint cell that is not hidden or painted is the one on Cave Creek Rd near Tatum (across the soccer field). The rest are either flag poles, painted panels on top of utility poles, or on the sides (not top) of public buildings.

No, I think yours did. I clearly was referring to conversations we have had in the past.

How extensive is the band 26 rollout in Phoenix ? I'll be there next month for a wedding and to see my kids.

I think they are testing b26. I haven't seen any b26 in the east valley for a week or so.

Been getting it constantly at my house since I posted the screen shots. I would think it would be a fast rollout since they have had so long with the issue with APS.

Yeah, saw it once by the Whole Foods on ray and the 101. Haven't seen it since.

This is Sprint we're talking about here. They'll test it until this summer and finally roll it out by years end. Lol.

Good news for Phoenix residents.  Sprint is requesting a waiver so that LTE 800 can be deployed in the Phoenix area. However Tucson residents are still out of luck since the waiver excludes Pima county.

That letter confirms that the requested waiver is approved. Now Sprint just needs to deploy, which I believe people are seeing signs of B26 a few posts up.

Huh...I don't remember. My phone was acting a little weird when I posted that but I don't remember what I was going to say…

 

Well what I would like to know is if this includes any part of SoCal ??? The documents show San Bernadino county so that's kind of a head scratcher considering that's SoCal and this is a waiver for all of Arizona mostly minus Tucson

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
