Another tower is live off of highway 85 & weld county road 14 in Ft. Lupton.

I'm telling ya, drop a couple bucks and become a sponsor. You can see where all the towers are that are accepted as soon as Robert gets the acceptance reports entered in, which has been quite steady lately. This tower is in fact showing up on the completed map for sponsors. You can donate as much or as little as you like and it gives you access to better info and helps keep the site alive.

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

Is it true, unless they fully turn it on, 4G will be on and off here in Castle Rock for testing?

Maybe, maybe not. Some sites are turned on and that's it, they're on. Others may have fine tuning to do. If the tower has been accepted, though, I would not expect much if any cycling off and on.

I'm betting that sponsors have WAY better information available to them than most Sprint employees have. Is there any info on any of the forums about how this data is acquired and compiled, or is it like Fight Club (What's the first rule of Fight Club?) I only ask because I am quite impressed by the info available on the maps.

I predict that Douglas County is going to start seeing LTE in the next month or 2. A couple reasons for this claim, I asked Sprint on twitter when 80126 would see LTE and they said in a few weeks. I've asked other times in the past and never gotten a time frame so it is definitely closer. Also, I've been checking the Douglas county website for permits and it seems like Sprint just got over a hurdle. Douglas County has a planning services approval process you go through before getting building permits but they just closed a bunch of those presubmitals (they require a review before the application) with a note that the changes count as maintenance and don't need the planning process. This should fast track a lot of the permits.

1st rule.

 

Otherwise it'd be the end of S4GRU.

Wonder if another tower is getting active, I got lte by I-70 and Quebec

To borrow from someone else's signature line "Sensorly or it didn't happen". Just sayin. :-)

What does the Softbank/Clearwire acquire mean for the Denver Market?

nothing immediately. Network vision 1.0 I.e. 1900 lte 800 voice, etc, has already been planned and will most likely not be affected at all by the mergers. It could, however, affect long term in ways we don't know yet.

Sitting at Santiago's in Northglenn and I was getting crappy data service so I switched Airplane mode on then off. The little 4G lights up on my Galaxy S3! I did Sensorly it so it did happen.

You should look at the maps. You were pretty close to a new 4G tower.

Sorry if this should go elsewhere, new here. I've been patiently waiting for LTE to launch in the area before upgrading. The wimax on my phone was murder to my battery so I've not been using it. Turned it on today to run a speed test and was shocked. The last time time I'd run a test sitting in my living room, in Littleton, my speeds had been decent. Now its under 1mbps. I was just wondering if anyone else waiting to upgrade has noticed their wimax speeds decrease significantly?

Looks like I'm in luck it was the tower next to my house that they upgraded. I did a drive around the area with Sensorly running to get some data online. Does anybody know how ofter they update the map?

I think the maps are just about instant.

For the web, you usually starting seeing it within 15 minutes on certain zoom levels, assuming of course your computer is able to flush out the cache. On the Android app, I've seen it come across at near real time levels.

That's pretty fast, I just ran it while I was on my bike ride, so there should be some more showing up.

      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.
