The Sprint  coverage map was updated to 10/10.  Previously updated on 10/9 and 9/11, so we have a likely have more changes.  Duluth MN shows LTE along with Sacramento CA.  Fresno CA still shown as 3G, but likely no longer true (waiting for market launch). The Samsung portion of Sprint is really done with NV except cleanup and GMOs, both dependent on backhaul.   If you live in an unlaunched market, please review map and comment. http://coverage.sprint.com/IMPACT.jsp?INTNAV=SJS:HE:Cov

 

In Ohio, the Hocking Hills continues to show LTE which is not accurate.  Coshocton has LTE, but is shown as 3G only.  The LTE specks shown are likely true, as Band 26 LTE appears on many hilltops in the southern part of the state, however 1x800 covers even more and likely under-reported based on my travels.  US Route 23  now has extensive 1x800 coverage from Cambridge to Stuebenville OH, thanks to Wintersville (it's LTE not on map) and many sites along I-70 adding 1x800 (most are not documented well since they belong to Pittsburgh -- a market without a spreadsheet).  The gaps on US 23 are mainly around Piedmont Lake to Cadiz. As soon as you are on the freeway east of Cadiz heading east you are covered by 1x800.  Sensorly's coverage of 1x800 is questionable.

All I see in my area is black in both Chrome and Firefox, and it's amazingly slow and failing to load pieces.  Anyone else having these problems?

I was just looking at it today.  It does NOT show black for me.  Also, it is not slow for me either.

 

I also notice that for the past few days, it's been saying the last updated date as the current date.

Glens Falls, N.Y. is finally showing up with LTE coverage more than a year after I first started experiencing it in parts of the area. Makes sense since I noticed expanded coverage through most parts of th city (that I frequent) within the last couple of weeks. Now they just need to expand a little farther north to cover where I live, though I suspect the towers that cover me are mostly GMOs.

If you search by zip code for 20554 (where I work), does it show you black or color?  I'm trying to figure out how two different browsers at home and at work (Internet Explorer is refusing to load the page at all) can all show me black at the default zoom level but nobody else sees it.

When I look for that zip code it shows green for voice and orange for data.  I'm using Firefox 32.0.3

Some Spark Android devices still show "no service" in Verizon roaming areas :(

 

For example, claim your device is an "LG G3" and type "Wolverine, MI" into the map. The *map* claims Verizon 1x data roaming, but the icon says "No Coverage"

My thing is when sprint Extended the already overstated LTE coverage I thought it was due to band 26...but it shows the same for single band as well as triband devices. Hopefully will be fixed.

Coverage hasn't changed since the last update. As someone else said, it's been displaying the current date as the "updated on:" date.

Sad to say...But I've actually found that the B25 coverage around here (Ericsson Market) actually more closely represents the Voice coverage map more than the Data Coverage Map. I'm assuming that is due to the fact that B26 isn't going to be turned on for awhile, but still, should be more accurate...:-/

This has also been my experience too, for both B25 and B26.

 

In my experience, the voice map is generally accurate for data in upgraded areas, with these assumptions :

- "Best" Voice = B25 + B26

- "Good" Voice = B26 LTE only

- "Fair" Voice = 1x800 Only.

      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

      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.
