Hi there I just wanted to know if there is any progress on rollout in my area of 81063 because of the fact that I have been getting slow to no data sometimes and I haven't herd of any work going on down here did they forget about us down here?

There are 412 square miles of that zip code, with a density of 7 PPsqM. With that in mind, you are NV upgraded. I'm not sure if you are running 4g yet (backhaul, maybe). There is not an 800LTE card currently on site for you, one is on its way eventually.

 

I would be willing to bet that at any given time there are at most 30-40 subscribers within range of that site, and a fully upgraded NV site cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $150,000 installed. That is quite a chunk of change for no return, all to get their coverage map on par with big red. 

 

TL;DR ... chill, you are already upgraded and will probably get LTE within the next few months. You were not forgotten.

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

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

THE REQUEST HOUR IS LIVE...

 

FOR THE NEXT HOUR ANYONE WHO MESSAGES ME ASKING IF THEIR LOCAL SITE IS UPGRADED WILL HAVE THEIR QUESTION ANSWERED. REQUESTS AFTER THAT TIME WILL BE ANSWERED... EVENTUALLY...

Thanks Merlin!

 

The site that serves the IBM plant at highway 52 and diagonal highway I boulder. What is the status ? There are two towers I show in the sponsors section, one on 63rd in gunbarrel and one north on niwot road. Not sure which one I am get service from. How soon do you think we will see any LTE? Daily we see about 300k down. Have some friends on sprint who are very curious as well.

 

Thank you very much for the time and response !

ok "grasshopper" are the sites for 80014 and 80123 upgraded yet? You are a kick!!

 

 

@Merlin - how is 80246 looking?  You hinted at Colorado and I-25 a while back, but I haven't seen any activity on LTE (I have an LG Optimus G, btw)....thoughts?

 

 

I'm at 80260. What's the story for up here? I have seen some digging asking market street and 104th. I would assume fiber

Is it too late to make an inquiry on zip 80016?

 

 

I'm going to move all these to PMs.

I've been watching this forum like a hawk waiting for updates on downtown.

 

I almost always have Sensorly going on my Note 3 while I'm walking around downtown, covering the full area between 22nd and 14th, I-25 to Sherman, SO eagerly awaiting those little purple dots.

 

Though, I've never been able to connect to the LTE around the ballpark. It just doesn't like me.

 

I'm excited to see this roll out. I've been eagerly awaiting since the Note II released.

Running Sensorly constantly can actually decrease your chances of making an LTE connection. Sensorly maintains an almost constant data session. Your phone needs to have data inactive in order to scan for LTE.

 

To get around this, you can set Sensorly to upload data only on WiFi, that way your phone is free to scan for LTE, and you're still collecting Sensorly data.

Hey Merlin,

How about at Santa Fe and Evans in Denver (80223)?   And MIssissippi and Chambers in Aurora (80017)?

 

My Santa Fe connection has been a brutal 0.05 Mbps on avg on 3g, and about 1-2Mbps on Chambers & Miss.

 

I'd greatly appreciate and info on either of these areas, as would all of my workmates.  

 

I almost fell for the TMobile sales pitches, but heard from too many current tmobile customers, that they get too many dropped calls.  a couple more questions and research made me realize waiting for Sprints 4g is worth it, and hopefully Sprint SPark isnt far behind.  And the more people that leave Sprint, the better my connection speed will be (hopefully).  Also Tmobile is still for sale and from what Ive heard, Masayoshi Son is at the top of that list, so all those people leaving sprint for tmobile may coming back to sprint and not even know it.

 

Thx!!

MErlin,

 

If you can copy and paste your PM for the 80014 (i'm at 80013) and the mississippi & Chambers info (I'm at Hampden and Chambers), that would be awesome.  I'm also looking forward to LTE in Aurora and Denver areas.   Full roll out soon?

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
