Also att and vzw did low band only sites at first to. B13 for example it's 10x10 and is easier to use plus they have more money. TMobile works with 6 billion or so a year. So they have to go back later and add other bands. Tho In SD they have others bands. 2,4. Some areas they don't have B12. So is 71 or only 2 or 4. In the Dakota's TMobile lacks spectrum which is another reason they want Sprint. 12,2 and 4 are all 5x5.

Isn't there coverage still better than Sprint? Plus the two together will be better rural coverage as that's one thing they promised would happen under the merger. Guess lowband only sites with one sector isn't so great.

What good is T-Mobile’s coverage if you can’t use it on low band only sites ? That’s my point in this. I traveled to Montana last month and South Dakota. T-Mobile has fair coverage so I was thinking I would be fine. I could not use my data at all. Much of their “expanded low band” coverage is not useable. The rollout for expansion has been half assed at best. Together? Yes they could achieve that. But I’m not a fan of reducing competition and I’m not buying that it’ll lower prices. You don’t double your investments in coverage without passing the cost down to consumers. I don’t care how they try to convince us. We’ll keep our current plans for like 2-3 years and then we’ll be forced onto higher 5G dat plans when it’s more widespread.

Yeah that only works for where Sprint covers now. Not the rest where they don't cover that Tmobile does cover and would make use of the spectrum in these areas. Coverage is more important to me than speed.

Why not? Sprint can't continuewhere they are at. They will end up getting gobbled up by a cable company if it fails. Sprint lack of coverage will not help them in the future.

Sprint spectrum will get used when the merger passes tho [emoji6]

Very nice!

Very nice!

It's one site. Quite possibly the old Clearwire protection site converted to B41. There is partner 3G and LTE roaming in the area, so the likelihood of a full build out in the near term is pretty low. 
 
I'm actually quite surprised they added it to the coverage map. I'm not sure they meant to since as far as we know, that site is only producing B41 coverage, no CDMA, EVDO or B25/26 LTE. 

From the coverage map you can tell it's only one site which is the protection site. That one site might cover the entire city but it's not intended as everyday coverage. If you go indoors, that coverage is likely lost.

There is, it's just not a full buildout. It's likely only one site or a skeleton network that's there just to fulfill buildout requirements for Band 41.

Except not really. Those are B41 protection sites that originally did not show on the normal coverage map, only on a separate LTE Plus only layer.

Little disappointed to see this but it makes since. It doesnt look good to see so little LTE Plus on the map and other carriers only show you LTE so this was probably the right call. However it makes the map way less useful to spot new coverage.

It's still spectrum that can be aggregated with B25 to improve speeds. More spectrum = more capacity. Never a bad thing.

I realize there are a number of opinions out there on this topic of the Sprint/T-Mobile merger.  If you happen to be one of us who are not in favor of it, here is a petition you should consider signing it and passing it along to your friends/family.
This is a petition on Whitehouse.gov that is requesting the FCC or DOJ block the proposed merger, you can read more below:

That's already happening. Sprint is in the process of getting 800 equipment deployed in the southern IBEZ, and the spectrum should be clear by the end of the year, with various launch times along the border. I don't think even T-Mobile could have sped up the process with Mexico and public safety entities to get the spectrum properly reorganized. 

Well I’m able to reply to comments now so that tells me the issue is fixed

That's B41 only from the Protection Site.  The roaming pseudo native is from Golden West Wireless.

I think it's 48 hours.

Coverage map was just updated before these sites went On Air. Haven't had a chance to go around and see in person yet.

It's not a fee, it's a donation. And it's whatever you can afford, but we need $15-20 per sponsor to keep the site online and ad-free.
Someone already linked you to the information earlier today.

That information is in the Sponsor section. You should check it out.

No it is Extended LTE service. 

If you donate to the forum you unlock the Sponsors forums. There are a ton of great maps! [emoji4]

This is a year later. It’s complete! [emoji4] I know Sprint is going to be expanding a lot our West this year. I hope the Sensorly mapping picks back up!
