Network Vision/LTE - Missouri Market (includes St. Louis)

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is a sprint tower but it's at 141 and Carman Road in Manchester City limits.

 

I was getting 4G there but I don't think it was from that tower.

I'm no good at identifying equipment visually but if you pull up the cell ID on the LTE engineering screen (##DEBUG#) we could tell you which tower you were connected to pretty easily.

I am going to go ahead and say that 170 and Delmar is broadcasting because there is dark purple there and new blips all the way to the Rock Road.

Now all I need is work to start on the pole site in Richmond Heights and the rooftop site on Clayton rd. :)

I am at the Rock Road and 170 and I can tell you there is no LTE here, in fact the 3G is slower than 14.4 dial up!

The blips stop right before the rock road....so close yet so far away.

I can confirm it is active! I get it right outside my house, but not inside.

 

What app do I need to get the info you need?

Someone already got it....unless you have a family member or friend with a Sprint HTC LTE device or iPhone 5.

I can't access that area of the forum. 

 

It's within the Sponsor section. He's just giving a heads up so that anyone in the area can track down and check on those towers to see if any work is being done. 

 

The Sponsors section has some very good info in it if you haven't already considered donating.

Oklahoma keeps getting more LTE per update than we do. Its embarrassing.

St. Louis has never really been a hotbed of Sprint happiness...  :lol:

 

If it wasn't for the unlimited data plans, I'd probably be back on Big Red or AT&T. LTE is something that I'm willing to wait for, but I'm not sure how much longer before I go completely bananas. I really want to buy that shiny new iPhone 5S with LTE this fall and not pull awful 3G speeds. :)

    • 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....
