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

Hi there.  New forum member, though I've been lurking for a few months and finally decided to sign up.

Anyways, driving home this afternoon I saw two vans, unmarked, at a site by the US-36 and Federal interchange.  I believe I had seen updates posted on the Sprint coverage map at this location before the LTE upgrades began.  Also, a few months earlier I had seen a crew boring towards the site, probably providing the ingress point for the fiber back haul.  My phone has been randomly picking up LTE at home and dropping it right away.  I can pick up LTE in LTE only mode, doing around 5mbps dl and 1 mbps ul with practically no signal.  I'll upload pics later.  It's exciting I can get that kind of data on very weak signal, I can stream Netflix.  Can't wait for full coverage.

So is this the quiet before the storm or what?

Probably. With the recent clusters accepted and subsequent LTE activation, it looks like things are going to pick up quickly around the Denver metro area.

So is downtown Denver area a possibility by the end of April?

 

I certainly hope so, the data coverage has been unbearable lately. Had some good bursts of LTE on the way to DIA the other day but inside the airport itself nothing but mediocre 3G which I was kind of suprised about. You'd think getting an LTE signal in the airport would be a priority/pretty easy compared to launching towers throughout the city.

By the end of April isn't impossible, but I wouldn't count on it. More likely to be sometime in May. But we can hope!

According to this site www.cellularinsider.com/lirpa0114/jk  Sprint has announced the decision to move Denver's launch to 2015 siting "Denver already has too many things going for it.  When you considering the high standard of living, great geography and multiple professional sport franchises, we here at Sprint don't currently feel the Denver market wouldn't appreciate our Network enhancements nearly enough."

 

The Spokesperson goes on to say "Growing up in Cleveland and Kansas City, I felt it would be irresponsible for Sprint to launch LTE in Denver despite the majority of our sites being near completion."

The sites are real. It will be interesting to see how fast they to to 4Glte, or 4glte and 1x800 (for voice).. Don't know about you, but I'll be watching, waiting and hoping!

Most of the sites I've seen have been live with 1x800 voice as soon as they are accepted for NV.

1x800 comes simultaneously with any 3G acceptance on any full build site.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
