Think I set a new speed record, for my devices anyway. This was at Yale and Monaco.

Any and all 31/32/33 39/3A/3B endings are Nokia Mini Macros on Macros typically found on former Clearwire sites. Each mini macro is a stand alone BTS so will have unique GCI identifiers.  For old

There have been lots of discussions as to why certain cell sites go first. It has a lot to do with which areas are quickest to get permits, which areas are quickest to upgrade backhaul, plus Sprint seems to like to start from the suburbs, ring the area and then work their way in to the center of a metro area. Perhaps there are other technical reasons. Beyond that, only the logistics people know and they ain't telling. 

All the info is in the maps, you are a sponsor so you can see for yourself.

OK ANY UPDATES FOR COLORADO SPRINGS FOR LTE OR 800MGZ 3G IS SO BAD !!!!

Good grief!

 

One: Chill

 

Two: Write coherently. I could barely read that second post.

 

Three: Keep this up and you may find yourself on vacation.

 

Okay, now to the actual information. There is no rhyme or reason that Sprint "started" in Castle Rock, it just happened to be one of the first towers ready. The actual first tower was in northeast Denver. 

 

If there are any updates, THEY WILL BE POSTED HERE. You don't have to keep asking. Dude.

I think you're right. Looks like you can get pretty close driving into the neighborhood. Maybe you'll see some activity. Good luck.

 

No activity yet, can't really drive into the neighborhood without going on a little offroading trip or driving another 7 miles to go around haha. 

 

But I can see the Tower from the Costco here, It would be grand if they turned it on next time I need to get gas haha.

No pictures to back it up, but the tower immediately south of I-70 on Colorado Blvd in Denver had a cherry picker and crews up in the tower as I was driving to the zoo around 1130 and they were still there on the drive home about 1600. It is a Sprint tower as I confirmed it on the sponsor maps.

Try to see if you can get it east of the Genesee exit. I cycled it via the Signal Check Pro app as I was approaching it from the east. The first hit I got was pretty much at the exit as shown on my Sensorly info.

I'll probably be going that way next week with my GS3, maybe it can get better reception. I've been bringing it on my runs in the Thornton area and mapping some normally un-mappable areas.

I am getting 4G right now Downtown at 17 & Broadway.  I am in a building and have not been able to conduct a speed test yet, and I launched the sensorly app to map it but it's not wanting to get through the building I guess.  I will screenshot and upload in a moment.

Don't mind the wall paper of my kids, note the 4g icon. I'm not getting it now, but it was there for about five minutes.

They must have flipped it on and then right back off.  I haven't seen another hit all day (although my phone continually acts like it's switching from 3g to 4g) and have been mapping on Sensorly like crazy to get something with no luck.  I will continue to monitor and let the community know if anything more happens.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      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.

      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.
