snes Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 T1s? Nice to hear about the Sikeston hookup, but is that enough to run LTE, and does that mean I should see some light up within a week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was questioning the whole T1 thing also but I was assuming he knows more about that end of it than I do. He didn't say either way about Sikeston.

He might be old school where T1 just means to him smoking fast internet... I know its not considered that now but a few years ago there was DSL then the real speed and things you only dreamed about was having a T1.

lilg740 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I don't think there would be any reason why they would be running new T1 lines to a site....doesn't make sense to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snes Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Yeah, doesn't seem right exactly to me. No matter what, it's nice to hear the last piece of the puzzle might be completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the time, I'd start a download of something, walk away, then hope it was finished when I got back to the computer. And now I've got a 30Mbps connection at home and can pull down a solid GB from a CDN in the time it used to take the modem do a hardware handshake. I hope this NV rollout is a similar experience going from Sprint 3G to LTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this NV rollout is a similar experience going from Sprint 3G to LTE. Hopefully it is way faster than our current STL 3G. WiMax is considerably faster on my Sprint GS1 (Epic 4G) even out in St Peters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuke00 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Went back to the site closest to my house in Collinsville, IL. There was a truck there...didn't have time to stop and talk but the truck said Contractor/Surveyor. I also live in Collinsville and will check this out. You sure it isn't anything to do with that part of the 159 expansion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
