Funny you should mention it. Just drove it yesterday on my way home from Utah and did not get a single hit anywhere along 25 heading into Denver.

Back when that tower first went live I bolted up there that first weekend like the winning powerball ticket was waiting for me. I stayed around the area for a bit and never once got a hit so I wonder of it cycles.

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

Well this site just got upgraded. This was a gmo with legacy panels. Sorry for posting here but my password for premier isn't working. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

New user, longtime lurker. Hey guys!

 

Took a drive up I-25 from north Denver to Longmont, then over to Estes Park. Got ZERO LTE, even abeam the tower at Dacono. Cycled airplane mode multiple times, rebooted. Nada. Yes, I am set to CDMA/LTE network in the settings. Kinda surprised at that result. Anyone else tried in the area lately?

 

I picked up a friend from DIA on Thursday night around 11 PM and also got zero LTE with my Gnex, even after cycling airplane mode multiple times. It really bummed me out as I've been patiently waiting to see what it's going to be like.

 

Looks like I may have had bad timing, then?

All the sites along US 50 between I-25 in Pueblo and Cañon City have been upgraded with new Samsung NV equipment. Every single one. Yet none of these are accepted yet. Colorado may be much farther along than it seems. :fingers: I discovered no LTE nor CDMA 800 though. :td: Robert from Note 2 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

 

I just searched on the Douglas, Denver, and Jefferson County websites and found quite a few permits that are likely NV related.  Some of them (from Denver county) I can't tell and I haven't taken the time to check if all of them correlate with Sprint towers (though most of the ones I checked do).

 

If anyone wants to look for themselves, here's the info.  

 

Some companies to search for:

Mountain Wireless Construction Inc

Mastec Network Solutions LLC

GENESIS ELECTRIC INC

ADVANCED WIRELESS SOLUTIONS INC

INMAN ELECTRICAL SERVICES INC

TETRA TECH CONSTRUCTION INC

 

 

Denver County: there are PDFs on the right hand side under 'permit records for current year', I search the file for 'network' and 'wireless' to find potential permits and then sift through them.  Two companies that have come up a lot are Mountain Wireless Construction Inc and Mastec Network Solutions LLC

.

http://www.denvergov.org/developmentservices/DevelopmentServices/CommercialProjects/BuildingPermits/tabid/436405/Default.aspx

 

Douglas County: search projects with a marketing name of 'Sprint'.  These aren't actual permits, but are a process before building permits.

http://apps.douglas.co.us/apps/planning/initHome.do

If you want actual building permits, search by address or contractor here.  The same two companies above have some permits here also.

https://apps.douglas.co.us/apps/building/permitSearch.do

 

Jefferson County (Sprint permits only)

Two sites were accepted in the Springs. We have exact locations posted in the Sponsor section.

Still no luck in Pueblo. But if something does up I'm sure sensorly will map it. It seems like every time I look at my phone sensorly is mapping. Lol

New here so excuse my lack of group protocol knowledge. I'm located in Fireston about 2 miles east of I-25/Longmont Exit. I chipped in a donation to paypal. So, where do I get the maps with better detail.

 

I am interested if there's ever any hope of seeing 4G where I live. I know Sprint done work on a tower just north of me by the freeway.

 

Sorry for the stupid questions...

I got LTE on I-25 north of I-70 this morning around 8AM. Last night on my way home from work there were workers in a crane bucket (not a cherry picker, oddly) working on the tower at Paulino Gardens (64th Ave at I-25). I didn't get a chance to do any speed tests or sensorly mapping. I know it died before I got to the US-36 exit.

Unfortunately, there is no Sprint tower located at Paulino Gardens, so if the one you saw them working on was on the grounds of Paulino, then it must have been someone else's tower.

Makes sense that it wasn't that tower. I would've expected better signal propagation from a tower that high and so close to where I lost LTE.

Feels like things have started to slow down in the Denver area. This site went three days with no updates. Is the completion time still the end of 2013?

 

Completion or launch? I don't think completion was ever expected to be end of 2013. Completion will likely be early to mid 2014. However, launch will probably late 2013. There will be appreciable coverage, almost complete coverage, once 50-70% of sites are upgraded.

Here's an odd one. I'm running the test PRL 34010 (scans 800 test sites). Today I'm in Boulder County in my usual total dead zone where it constantly scans between 3 towers. SignalCheck Pro gives me an 1x800 alert. I look at the app and it claims I am connected to an 1x800 tower in Keenesburg. After about 5 seconds it goes back to a local tower. I did the math, that's 34 miles away. WTF?  If the new 1x800 towers get that kind of coverage I can hardly wait until they fire up something a bit closer.

Wow, that's a seriously impressive reach.  That could explain my hits downtown quite easily.

800 is much more prone to skip/ducting than 1900 or 2600. Could be a case of a localized perfect storm for propagation perfection. 

 

 

 

Or, Sprint could just be screwing with you.

      Its crazy what MM wave is capable of in ideal conditions. I took advantage of some overnight work this week to do some testing on my way home.  https://imgur.com/a/zPNUWVs

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.

      Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...
