Sprint's extended LTE in Northern WI and the UP looks closer to AT&T's LTE coverage than it does Cellcom's.

If that is true, expect AT&T LTE limited to 3g speeds. Cellcomm or Verizon would still be used for phone calls.

Same thoughts here. Looks very similar to AT&T's LTE reach (in my experience)

Def would of been nice to have had Extended LTE when I went to go see family and friends in Maine back at the end of June. Was all roaming LTE and hit my cap of 300mb quick when outside of my coverage area in Maine. At least this is a step in the right direction.

According to Günther’s Post, more enhancements could come as soon as November.

Wonder what they have in store for us.

Exciting times ahead for Sprint’s Coverage Map!

I’m glad this important section of the Sprint website is finally getting some major attention.

Pikeville, KY is showing LTE on the Sprint map update, been there twice since the change and still 3G only.  Guess they're running behind a little.  (KX05HO025)  
It has been formally accepted complete. It is also going to show up in our next update map. Not sure why it's not live.

I just got back from a 5 day trip to Lexington, KY (we are about to move back there after 12 years) and was pleasantly surprised by the proliferarion of mini macs. Speeds were not super fast but way better than it would've been without that deployment.  And band 25 CA is on every tower I connected to in the metro area (in cases where band 41 was absent).

"even more enhancements coming soon"  -

He is of course referring to the entire T-Mobile coverage map becoming Extended LTE Sprint service

:rofl:

If what I've seen over on reddit is correct, that's not what the change is. They're going to be dropping the current map in favor of one that is like U.S. Cellular's.

I hope Sprint switches to Google Maps too.

I was looking at some support articles on the website this morning and it looks like Sprint has added the ability for users to submit network issue reports through the website. Under the Support Tab there’s a link which says “Report a Network Issue”.

Looks like Google Maps is used for this feature. Perhaps it will also come to the actual Coverage Map as you said.

I'm incredibly pleased about US Cellular no longer counting as roaming, assuming that's true.


Can anyone confirm if that is in fact true? That would be significant news for those of us who travel in northern New England where Sprint has hardly any native coverage..

They are late... :(

They have been doing pretty good on monthly updates recently.  Hope it continues.

The new map looks and works so much better than the old one.

Hopefully these major updates are still in the works.

i was told they put off the November update  "because of the Thanksgiving holiday and the associated freezes put in place to minimize impacts, we won't be doing the next coverage map update until early December."

I’m happy they’re not rushing it through just to say they did it. Something this important needs to be verified and Q/C’d properly.

Sprint's coverage map now has KX05HO025 (Pikeville, KY) as 3G only now.  I never picked an LTE signal from any band on that tower.

      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.
