Network Vision/LTE - Colorado Market (Denver/Colo Springs/Fort Collins/Pueblo/Grand Jct)

It went out to people in Hawaii too, where network vision has barely begun, and won't possibly be anywhere near complete in 30s days.

 

It's also not saying that the network will be complete in 30 days,

 

It says (well at least the one I got) says that your network " will be more complete than ever " in 30 days, which is true. In 30 days it will be more complete than now, but not necessarily complete.

 

edit. Wait, did your's say "largely complete?"

Mine said largely complete. And I had a South Dakota billing address. But I did still have an ABQ phone number.

It may have been a device or app error, but typing in all caps is against the posting guidelines.

Looks like Sprints main coverage map now has Colorado Springs included for 4g LTE.  I think they just added that to the map.  I'm pretty sure it wasnt there last weekend. I'll begoing through there next weekend and am interested to see what kind of speeds i get on my ancient htc 4g lte.

Sorry Robert, I am at work and going back and forth on different work programs that operate differently. Adp requires caps, my others not. just in a hurry and didn't know.

Not a problem.

sprint site says Colorado springs is 4g lte but not spark!!

No Spark in the Springs. There was no WiMax network to convert to Spark. There were only two WiMax Protection Sites. So you're right, just Sprint LTE.

Band 25/26 I believe is capable up to 37 Mbps. Band 41 is 60 Mbps Max from what I remember.

Band 41 maxes out in the 90's. But Sprint is smartly advertising a lower peak speed. You will be hard pressed to get a speed above 70Mbps.

Strange happenings at DIA the last two nights - aside from the underground alien city. My S3 will not connect to 3G out there at all. Looking at signal check, it reports an eHRPD signal, but says the eHRPD data connection is "unregistered". It ends up connecting at 1x. All along Pena to and from I get 3G and LTE. As soon as I turn my phone on in Aspen, 3G is there and usable, but DIA - all over the field- no 3G. Anyone else experiencing this?

I was traveling last week on Thursday and Friday but was able to get LTE on parts of Pena. At parking garage and inside terminal it was 3g and garbage as usual but not quite 1x garbage.

My wife got that text too, we're in Grand Junction if it matters (I suspect it doesn't).

I should note that in the mornings, such as right now, it works just fine. Only in the evenings/night does it go weird.

Friday night when I was coming home I got LTE on Pena.

 

Maybe just started on Saturday?

The sites inside the airport have had a lot of work going on. Note: it is also a royal pain in the ass to access those sites.

Hmm. I wonder where all those samsung/sprint/ericsson tech are going to be diverting their attention now. :]

Hopefully you're right!

 

On another not, I'm glad we're not in a Lucent market......been to Vegas and Phoenix several times in the past 2 months and will tell you.....the service sucks eggs down there. Very bad voice service almost throughout the entire valley in PHX. When you are on LTE it's fortunate to see over 1 mb. Same in both markets on multiple occasions. Hope it was just one tower or something to the effect but it's all over town pretty much. Hope they get 800 voice rolled out quickly and/or whatever else will correct that because damn.....it was rough taking/making calls down there.

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
