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.

4g on 64/40 from the 170 exit to a mile and a half before Lindbergh.

Next time you grab a signal there could you possibly get into LTE Engineering and snag a screenshot for me?

I'll do my best it's hard to mess with the phone weaving through rush hour. I should get it tomorrow morning.

Went site hopping after work at a couple sites I haven't went to in a while.

 

Flagpole behind Goodwill(Sprint/Clear) in Granite City had recent backhaul/digging work done.

Sprint only site in Mitchell, IL near 270 and Old Alton Rd. had backhaul work done.

Site in Collinsville, IL at St. Peter and Paul Cemetery that I reported on this morning had a bunch of empty boxes, ladders, hoist rope, Cables and accessories in the fenced in area. Too dark to get pictures of any worth.

I've been following this thread for a while, but this is my first time posting. Thanks everyone for the info that has been shared, here.

 

This afternoon, I was on my way back to STL from the Branson area, this weekend, and randomly picked up LTE between Lebanon and Waynesville. I'd say I was due south of Stoutland right around mile marker 140 on 44.

 

I think I remember reading something about a tower possibly being up in this area, but there aren't any points on Sensorly, so I thought I'd report this to everyone, here. I did a speed test and got 19.92 down, 8.41 up and a ping of 79.

 

I can confirm.  I drive I-44 from STL to near SGF twice weekly and have been picking up 4G at locations just north east of Marshfield around MM 120 to locations just north east Lebanon almost to Waynesville.  As of this past Monday all towers have dropped back to 3G.

I meant to post this earlier. Turns out that Sprint is the second set of panel racks on this tower, in case anyone was interested.

is that a tower in sikeston?

 

Yes, its the central tower next to the Fire Department and Water Treatment Plant. 

 

All 3 towers in the area have the new panels and base cabinets. None are broadcasting LTE though. :(

I was able to get LTE on 40 between McKnight and Big Bend this morning. I grabbed screen shots of the physical cell and cell ID. I think there are two towers that are live as I was able to get two different physical cell numbers and cell identity.

So the 2 in Sikeston and the 1 in Miner are essentially complete?

Yes. You can see what has been accepted and what I've reported in the Sponsor forum. I'm not sure what I can state in this forum as far as acceptance goes, so I'll just leave that information out. 

 

There is a lot of activity in the far southeast area, but no signs of LTE yet. Basically every site, except for one, I've seen at least new cabinets installed. I haven't looked north to see if there's been any progress where you live or Scott City or Benton in between.

A site in Jackson has base cabinets done and I am fairly certain the panels are up.  I need to grab my camera to make sure though.  I drove to 4 different sites in Cape last night and the only progress I noticed was backhaul.

Well that seems to be the issue down here: backhaul. I believe that the Miner site has backhaul ran to it, but I still haven't picked up any LTE signal from it yet (went and checked on it yesterday).

If the site is a Sprint only site, it can be marked as in progress with pics of the backhaul work.

Sounds like you guys have great progression down there though, better than Cape anyways :).  I am going to check map Bloomsdale tonight and check on Perryville/Oak Ridge.

I know of 3 towers in the area that cover that stretch; I'll try to track them down and get pics.

If you want the cell Id's or physical cell info let me know or I can send the screen shots if someone wants to post them.

      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....
