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

Got excited today on the way home, saw a crew laying fine today the general direction of the Sprint tower near my house. Then saw that it said Comcast on the side of the truck, slightly less excited now.

 

Comcast does provide backhaul in some locations...

On my iPhone 5 whenever I'm cruising around i toggle on LTE and the "3G" symbol changes to 1x and the bars go down then the signal goes back up and changes to 3G although this takes a while does this mean my phone is picking up something or is it simply scanning and reverting back?

How longs a while? A few seconds? A few minutes?

 

Likely it's just scanning. If there was Band 25 LTE around, your iPhone would connect to it no problem. It can't see Band 26 or Band 41 so it won't be confused by that.

Ive heard from Sprint Employees that Sprint is rebuilding there network from the ground up while other carriers are just upgrading there towers with LTE is there any truth to this? Or is this just some BS excuse to buy Sprint some time and convince customers to stay?

No it's completely true. Every piece of equipment is being replaced.

In a place like Denver, the market should perform pretty darn well for some time. Especially on a Triband device. Since Denver already has some of the lowest Sprint subscriber numbers, and so many more have left, and that it will be pretty much built with all three bands from the beginning...well, it should be pretty darn nice.

The only problem I see, is looking at those maps and seeing Arvada not being worked on, that's where I live

In my opinion most of the real value in network vision is the behind the scenes stuff; not the stuff that gets the attention like new towers, LTE, etc. It's laying the groundwork for future technologies that interests me. There are all sorts of crazy technologies in the works now that aren't available now, and Sprint should be well positioned to take advantage of them pretty soon.

I should have been more clear that I was referring to the post build out phase. Sorry about that. Arvada will be in a good position post build out of all three LTE bands.

It's been mentioned before that the maps are pretty far behind with the " in progress" sites. I've seen several sites around Boulder County just appear as 3G while never being marked as "in progress".

Has Denver always had a low market share of Sprint subscribers, or is this something that recently happened ?

 

Yes.  But it definitely is getting worse.  They pretty much have nowhere to go but up from here once the network improves.

In Progress sites are reported from members.  If you Denver members do not report activity at sites, they will go straight from brown dot to 3G or 4G accepted one day.  All those white markers throughout Denver were supplied by many long hours of tracking down sites by our Denver contingent!  :tu:

      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 coule 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.

      Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.

      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.
