Crews were working at the site closest to my house this morning. Talked to them said they were waiting on a lift so they could get the panels up. They had hoist ropes up. Confirmed they were with Sprint.

 

Edit: Adding pic

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.

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.

Here is the dilemma with this. Permits for St. Louis County are only good for 6 months. Work must be started within a time frame. So I think it is good to show them 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.

Forgot the secret code to get in. :blush:

 

I'll re-memorize and grab them as I can.  Unless someone else grabs them first.

I use an app called Quickshortcutmaker and put a shortcut to it on my home screen, tap the shortcut, then all you need is to type in SPRINT when it prompts you. Then once you do that all you should need to do is tap the shortcut and it won't prompt you again unless you turn off the phone. Really handy. If you need help let me know.

 

I can probably drive across that way tonight when I go to church to check it out.

New sensorly blips 170 & 64

Things are really lighting up today.  I wasn't paying attention as I drove through Troy IL this morning.  Maybe they've fired up all that new hardware that's been sitting at my home site for a while.  I can only hope...

The purple in that area is from the site south of tower grove park. At the area you mentioned, it would be considered a fringe area for that tower. Drive south of that area and you will connect.

 

Also if you want to know where the towers are you can become a Sponsor (info in my sig) and see the maps/sheet and know where all the towers are. If you want you can send me the nearest intersection to your location in St. Chuck and I can let you know where a few towers are. But I can only give you nearest intersection to the tower as site ID's and addresses are restricted to Sponsors only.

It seems that STL will go live before the anticipated date....there are many sites live from what I see

 

 

This stuff is really interesting Im hooked

At this point it is hard to tell. If they continue on this pace, maybe. They still hae 300+ sites in the entire Metro to do.

What date would that be? Sprint has made no official or unofficial plans for a launch date in STL.

I figured he meant the original scheduled completion in Q1 2014

That was an estimation as well, the Missouri market was not in any of the plans we received when the schedule was put together. In all likelihood, Q1 or Q2 2014 completion is still a good bet.

So is what I found legacy equipment?  Because I see it on other sites that have NV cabinets installed already.

      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 price 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....
