Thanks to the selflessness of one of our members I now have a new shiny HTC ONE to play with! I am speechless! Its only a loaner but this is amazing!

Last night I had the Mifi at Urban Chestnut for an event and was pulling crazy good Band 41 LTE. I was feeling cocky, so I challenged friends with a Verizon phone & AT&T phone to a speedtest.

I was at the Zoo with my daughter today and had my phone battery drain faster than a bank account at one of those aforementioned strip clubs.

 

I almost can't wait to be able to take full advantage of a smartphone in public again. Hurry up and get back to the STL corridor with those NV updates, will ya? :)

I know I've been a lurker, but I finally have confirmation that we should be seeing some movement in St. Charles County, MO very soon.

Is this from what you have seen on here or do you have some sort of inside info?

I do have inside info, I just can't publicly release specifics.  The time frame I was given was within the next couple of weeks they should be turned up for testing.

Yep I see it on the map now....we've got a boatload of In Progress finally too!   :tu:

FYI, those In Progress sites are due to the permits that I found.

 

New site for you all to track down in STL county... near Kirkwood...

Nevermind, I didn't see the update.

Not sure that I like calling things In Progress with just a permit. To me it's not in progress until there are Boots on the Ground.  Before then, everything is just talk.  (Your opinion may vary.)

 

I suppose it does let everyone see where progress might soon be made on the map.

And speaking of boots on the ground, I visited two sites yesterday. 

 

One at Little Hills Expressway and Boschertown in St Charles, just behind Just Corvettes.  No Progress.

 

The one on Ellis Road east of St. Jacob IL, however:

Has panels:

But no cabinets:

I'll post these in the Report In Progress Sites Here thread.

 

I've also noticed that Riverview and I-270 is looking promising.  Maybe I'll take a closer look when I get a chance...

That has always been my feeling as well. I want to see an antenna, RRU, cabinet, etc on site before I call it in progress.

Picked up LTE while crossing the Chain of Rocks bridge this morning. Fired up Sensorly & drove as close to the site at Riverview and 270 as I could. I was going to check that site out today, anyway. Didn't want to hang around that area much, nor did I want to drive up the scary-looking lane that lead to the site. Snapped a quick pic which I'll post later, then drove around just a little bit more to map it out. My points are already on Sensorly, if you zoom way in.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
