Recommended Posts

Thats crazy lol! Beaumont is a 40 min drive from Galveston 1:30 from Htown. Its 2 hours from here to baton rouge wonder why they put us with Louisiana...

 

Most likely because of affiliate market boundaries.

I think some of north Louisiana is labelled as the east Texas market so it goes both ways.

 

At least Beaumont had EVDO about 2 yrs before Lake Charles.

 

Beaumont was originally a US Unwired market along with Lake Charles. But that doesn't always follow things as Baton Rouge was gulf coast wireless market and now it is looped in with the New Orleans market.

Yeah i remember driving to New orleans and having no 3g from the TX to Baton Rouge lol..

This may be a dumb question but how will they activate there lte services? Does a whole market go up at once, or do they go through them individually at there own pace?

Up until 2 years ago the EVDO came from the Alltel towers in Baton Rouge. The 1X came from Sprint towers.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
