You Know You're a S4GRU Enthusiast when...

You book a hotel based on how good Sprint coverage is and how close it is to several towers.

 

I'm looking at you, Salt Lake City.

 

When I was apartment searching with my wife, the first thing I did was check coverage.

It's funny, but I knew this thread would be popular, but some of the responses really crack me up. lol  :tu:

lol I can actually visually see that conversation.

 

which leads to 

you know you are an s4gru enthusiast and pat yourself on the back when you are able to convince the wife on a more expensive apartment/home simply because you get better signal but not telling her that's the reason. 

(Then again, women always know). lol

we had a life before S4GRU ???

 

Yes, but the year numbering scheme has changed.  Now, 2011 is no longer 2011.  It is 1 BS, and 2012 is AS 1.

Or as some trekkies would say Stardate 1900.800.2.5

 

But if Robert offers to show you the "captain's log," politely decline.

 

:P

You pick a concert location based on which one has had more NV and tower upgrades...

...when your kids yell "E HERPED!" from the back seat as they're spying your phone running SCP or LTE Discovery

 

...when your kids point out that the contestant picked C-D-M-A as the second set of letters in the final bonus round on Wheel of Fortune (it's amazing how often that happens).

I agree, I've noticed this as well! Usually they pick the letters in that exact order too.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
