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

so if I get that phone htc one max I could test the band 41 up in Denver since I don't think co springs has band 41 yet is that correct??

Possibly. There are mixed reports when it comes to connecting to Band 41 in Denver.

 

Most of Denver is still lacking eCSFB (MORE INFO) which affects all trr-band (Spark) devices. Therefore, any LTE connection will be problematic.

 

If eCSFB is not present, you will not be able to connect to LTE (Band 41, 26 or 25). Unless you force your device into LTE only mode. Then you may connect. Until Spark is official in Denver, you may get mixed results.

Metro area? <fingers crossed>

Roughly 4 out of 5 days, up from 2ish out of 5 days. The other time was either mountain, Northern CO, or Springs. Also, I can tell by the type of house-call, Denver is in the final clean up stage.

 

Is the snow slowing you guys down out there any?

Only when I don't feel like getting on a rooftop. Rawland sites are cake, rooftops blow chunks, sorry downtown.

Does this mean backhaul is done in Denver, or is backhaul part of the final clean up stage? Sprint announced the Springs yesterday. First in CO. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Are they live?

It's live. Good stuff too. Not overwhelming but a massive improvement.

Sprint is not done with backhaul in Denver.  He is saying that Network Vision sites are about to be brought online in clusters.  Sites within those clusters that do have upgraded backhaul will also have their LTE brought online.  But do not expect a complete citywide or clusterwide LTE launch all at once.

It's okay Merlin, I don't blame you. I end up on the roof of a 30-story, and that white rubber roofing they decided to use on so many Downtown Denver buildings is slippery as heck after it snows. I've fallen on my ass several times working on Sat TV dishes that get misaligned by heavy snow or wind. I wouldn't even dare to approach the edge when it's just snowed, let alone any work on things not -on- the roof.

You're welcome.

On a side note. Yes, I will be getting back to those of you who have PM'd me about sites. Unfortunately, I can't exactly say when. I am traveling a lot and really don't have a ton of time to do site lookups.

 

I'm starting to understand why people that work in IT don't tell their friends that they know how to fix a computer.

Yea been seeing this too all around north metro and boulder. Co workers reporting of lots if drop calls. Told them to hang tight, upgrades are taking place in the Area.

network connection still good in sw and se denver, Parker 225 west to Hamden and Wadsworth on ehrpd. But no 4glte usable on Samsung Galaxy Mega yet.... No dropped calls, Hate to say it, but great calls, they always work, I can understand everyone, and the print system works great in these areas on 2g and 3g. Have friends that are getting 4 gLte in Ne denver,  Castle Rock and ltd Park meadows. I Sensorly'd Hamden 285  and got weak 4Glte from Wadworth to Havana, but couldn't use the signal. Let me know if any of you are getting 4gLte on Hamden. Santa..

    • Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
