    Network Vision/LTE - Milwaukee Market (including Madison)

    in Markets

    Posted

     At the fair all day yesterday. Like I said, the fairgrounds are out of reach of 4g signal. I have personally mapped most of the area while delivering mail, or traveling throughout the area in my mail truck. 

     

    Yeah... ditto. All day among the sheep and cows and stuff on a stick and no LTE.

     

    Maybe it's because we're civil servants? lol

    Finally felt good today (I really was sick after all.) and walked around to do some errands. I went behind the Scheuster's building at 11th and Mitchell in hopes of getting decent photos of the NV equipment. While I didn't get to see the cabinets, I was greeted with two new antenna panels low enough to almost touch. If I had a small cherry picker.

     

    Enjoy.

    It should be noted that these two antenna panels were not on the building before. This is a brand spankin' new location on the building.

    And now for some mappy goodness.

    My tour was on-foot. I started just shy of Mitchell Street at 6th and walked west to the Scheuster's building (that's the bulge on the map at 10th St) and continued west to Forrest Home and continued to Burnham St.

    Well, it's Aug 1st, and I was told by the sprint sales rep at different locations that LTE would be live in Madison.  It's in the areas around Madison, but nothing in Madison.  I was wondering if Robert has heard of anything when Madison will be getting some better signal/coverage.  I was around camp randell yesterday, and my phone was roaming  on 3g, and I could not make a call or send a text.

     

     

    I'd never, ever, lend and credence to anything a sales rep at any Sprint-owned or franchised store (except for the truly educated ones here at S4GRU) says about the 4G roll out. They just don't have the same access to reliable information as we do here. They have the same information as anyone in Care would have - which is just general information.

    Came home from work early today. Wasn't feeling too good. But what's this that I see on my phone? I...is...is that 4G on the South Side of Milwaukee? Could it be? Why, yes! Yes it is! We got fo-gee in da hood and it's not bad, either. I'm a happy cop now.

    The area in which I live is bounded by Mitchell Street to the north, Sixth St to the East, 13th to the West and Becher St to the South.


     


    I'm still feeling a little ill (cough, cough) and I might (cough) take the day off (cough, achoo!) tomorrow and stay in bed (mapping..cough cough).
