Yea i didn't think they were rushing out to StCharles Co for upgrades right away. A lot of what they have been doing is east of the line 270 makes when it runs north to south

I saw new fiber locate markers/post on the IL side this weekend, possible backhaul work.  several markers running along 203 from Granite City to Madison, IL.  Also along Washington Ave in Granite City, between 22nd St and 24th St, There is a cell site on the hospital on Washington between 21st St and 22nd St, and also a cell site on the corner of Washington and 23rd St, from what I heard from lilg740 the site at the hospital is Sprint, I also hear that the one at Washington & E 23rd is US Cellular.  Also saw markers running along Maryville Rd between 203 & pontoon Rd, which could be backhaul for the site at 270 & Old Alton Rd.

I find it odd that Sprint doesn't list all of their towers on their own created map

Sprint doesn't have one. That upgrade map is of sites that have received an upgrade in the last 6 months.

Also saw fiber locate markers/posts along Page Ave in Maryland Heights west of Dielman this morning, looks like there may be a site near Page & Dielman.

Hey buddy, you're a sponsor now. You can see the Site Map for the market now.

That's not the centurytel building, is it?

That cell site is behind the Autozone and near a Federal records building.

 

Ah, ok. That must be the next Sprint tower east of the tower at the CentryTel building. Hopefully these get updated quickly -- it's on my commute. :D

Yeah, I work at near Craig & Borman, just south of Page & 270. Was on my way to pick up some donuts this morning when I saw the markers.

There's activity on a site off of Mueller Road and Forest Hill School Road outside of Millstadt.

I couldn't see any evidence of recently-disturbed ground, though.  Do they run fiber to every single site, I guess?

Some have microwave backhaul(through a "dish") most have fiber run though. As some on here will tell you there are some sites where you can't even see evidence of digging that have it completed. This to me looks like cabinet parts and maybe RRU's from the model numbers. Good find. I added your post to the In Progress thread on the sponsor side. This is the first site in St. Clair Co. to be marked in progress! I'm assuming you are in the St. Clair Co. Area? Have you checked any other sites?

    • 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....
