It is not an IBS. It was specifically labeled a macro site. It is not unusual for brand new sites to not be live when they show up in the update. Sometimes a few days.

2 casinos pretty close to each other there can see where it would be needed. Lots of attractions that pack people in around there including baseball and football too.

Thank goodness for that. A question that you never want to hear: "How's your IBS?"

 

I know, I know, I joke too much. But I cannot help it sometimes.

Went and tried to visit 3 sites on the West side of the Lake of the Ozarks yesterday. Was able to get to 2 of the base stations, other one was down a snow covered road, but found no activity at all.

Yes that is the base station. Many around that area are the same small size

This is a Nextel synergy site. Sprint's antenna are the very bottom ones.

I've never seen such a small set of base cabinets for a legacy site. They're so cute. Just want to go up and squeeze their little cheeks.

Went to KC last weekend and was getting 15-18Mbps download speeds, it was so disappointing to come back to 0.2Mbps in SGF. 4G can't come fast enough. Fortunately I complained to Credo and they gave me a bill credit for our data fees on next month's bill ($60)...just a band-aid but it's nice nonetheless.

Ahh, in Springfield as well? Majority of the time if I want to get anything done I find WiFi. Being in KC sure is nice. All we can do is hope that work is truly underway in Joplin and STL, which means something should start going on here soon.

Was looking at sensorly(sp), and I see people have picked up signals in Pittsburg and Nevada.

 

Nevada is fairly new but Pittsburg has had what looks like one tower running for a long time. Really surprised me but both are Kanas market. I have a bookmarks bar entry for Sensorly Joplin because I thought it would be the first to show LTE and hit it nightly and zoom out until I see the LTE in Pitssburg so I can tell the LTE info actually loaded...

Joplin is part of the Kansas market so any work done there doesn't indicate that the Missouri market has begun.

I could be wrong but I was talking to somebody who works at Sprint in Kansas City not in the retail environment but overseas sprint stores from Kansas City all the way to Saint Louis and he told me that Joplin is part of the Missouri market.

All I know is the Oct. 12 front page article here http://s4gru.com/ind...d-adds-20-more/ just before it quotes the press release Robert did an update saying it was in the Missouri Market as far as the rollout mattered. If you read the comment's to the article WiWavelength (AJ) explained it. Somehow I think its Kansas for somethings but for the roll out its Missouri.... I tried to get the guys to fight it out to settle the matter once and for all but Robert wouldn't go for it....

Joplin is in the Missouri market. In the Sponsor section we have maps that show every Sprint site in the country with details about the site including the market it belongs to.

Not sure if this means anything about LTE but I work for a sprint dealer and our demo as well as other galaxy note 2s went into data roaming for about 15 min today. Festus, MO around mid day.

 

Also I did a speed test about 5pm and it was really good for that time of day... Just under 2mb...usually hard to get 1+ on Friday rush hour time.

Did somebody mention something about a new or upgraded 3G tower in downtown STL? I think I read something about that. Today when I pulled into work by the Macy's building my speeds were off the chain! I was using amazon MP3 and my songs were loading super fast. And that's INSIDE a parking garage. Normally I don't even get 3G inside the garage.

    • 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....
