I've always had good service in those areas too. It's possible they were working, doesn't usually knock out service though as they leave the Legacy equipment running even after NV equipment is installed.

 

You don't get service at the 65 interchange? I get LTE at that interchange coming up from the Sedalia towers... 

There's also a tower a mile or two west of the interchange as well, though geography may block some of the signal. 

I get LTE just north of the interchange toward Marshall, dies off right after the gas station on the north end of I-70.   Spotted LTE about 10 miles south of Warsaw too.   Im headed up north on Friday so ill try to map it.

 

On a side note on Springfield area, the rumor mill is the City requested that LTE not be turned on until 100% completion of the upgrades in the metro area.

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'm wondering how you can tell if there are new panels installed on flag pole sites, or the sites that are integrated into light standards for sports fields that do not have a "traditional rack" on them?

In most of these instances, you would need to see them doing it, or at least find the RRU's mounted at the base.  Otherwise, you probably won't know until it shows up as complete on the NV Sites maps.

Tell tale signs of work for those sites are the "ball" at the top of the tower is gone, the flag is gone, the panels are off of the sides of thepole. There are 2 T-mobile flagpoles by me that are having work done right now near me and one has the flag and "ball" off and one has that and al the panels off.

The Marshall signal is coming up from the south from the Sedalia area sites. 

 

We've been waiting for someone to confirm the Warsaw site. We've had the LTE acceptance sitting on our maps for a few weeks now. 

 

 

On a side note on Springfield area, the rumor mill is the City requested that LTE not be turned on until 100% completion of the upgrades in the metro area.

 

That's kind of silly. I highly doubt that. Either way, they haven't even started working in Springfield yet. Permits issued back in Jan/Feb, but no work so far.

They need to get a move on before those permits expire.

There's an AT&T tower that was recently installed at Kearney and west bypass. I don't think there's a Sprint tower there. I'll check when I get back to work. I'm not over that way often ether.

About 1:30 the signal at work would go from -78 to -108 and switch back and forth from 1xrt an ehrpd. I had no usable data for maybe 15 minutes. My break of course. I hope its NV related.

There is no Sprint site at Kearney and West Bypass. Closest one is Kansas Exprs. and Kearney, which as of last night has had no work.

I used to work at American TV/Furniture in Cottleville. Our ISP was Sprint WiMax Hotspot....horrible reception in that building for all Sprint services.

Was getting gas at Bowles and 141 when I saw a truck and trailer pull up to the sprint tower. I drove over and rolled down my window and got to talk to the guy for a moment before he got to work. He said something about base work with lines and epoxy... But that he doesn't know what will be done up in the tower later... Just that they are doing some base work.

Did he confirm that he was doing work for Sprint?

He never said the word Sprint.  I said I was waiting for Sprint work to be done here and he just kinda nodded and then said he doesn't know what will be happening up in the tower with panels....he's just there to do some work on the base only.  He went back help the 2nd guy before I could ask anymore questions.

I will likely go back by there this evening or before work tomorrow to see if I can tell what has been done.

The truck was not marked.

Hey, if you look at your status screen in your settings when you are in the GC area do you have EVDO Rev A or EHRPD?

      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....
