    Network Vision/LTE - Milwaukee Market (including Madison)

    in Markets

    Posted

    I don't know about anyone else, but 3G seems to have gotten real crappy in the last month or so. This after incrementally improving over the last ~6 months. I live on the lower east side and it's not too bad right by me, but anywhere else it's pretty rough. I keep hoping this is a sign of work being done and that a tower or two will change over, that just doesn't seem to be happening  :wacko:

     

    On a side note, I had to travel to Madison for work yesterday and picked up my 1st LTE signals in the state of WI driving by Lake Mills, very nice! 

     

    This is not uncommon while work occurs.  I just took a quick look and I see permits have been pulled in March for the sites around you on Prospect & Kane and on Farwell & Ogden. I'll post links to the permits later.

    Buying a phone off-contract...where?

    I'll give it a shot. I've tried this in the past with phone launches and it never seems to end well. I basically get told that "you'll have to wait until your contract is up" line. Now, that is of course without going off the deep end and trying to be reasonable.

     

    I got a free S4 and a nice service credit from Sprint because my contract was almost up, I was a customer for about 20 years and I had MASSIVE signal problems. But that was a very peculiar circumstance.

    Good, well I work in Waukesha and am looking to buy a house there too, so I would be totally cool with that trend. I just hope it starts to happen sooner rather than later. 

     

    I've been following the trend on Sensorly and naturally, it's following the interstates and major state highways but it's a clear convergence to the south and east. Now watch... it'll stop at the county lines and start inching up north from the Kenosha/Racine area. LOL

    Whoa whoa, wait, did a tower in Waukesha get marked 4g complete??

     

     

     

     - Sorry, I misread your post. I'm guessing you meant that you think Waukesha will be getting some work before the city of Milwaukee will.... :/ 

     

     

    On a side note, I went to Madison this past weekend for my cousin's wedding. I had all the necessary apps running and I got to map some LTE from the tower just east of Lake Mills on i94. Got an average of like 18Mbps down and 8Mbps up. 

     

    No, i was referring to the fact that they seem to be starting in the boonies and working their way toward MKE.

     

    Yeah, that seems to be the general trend. South from Fond du Lac and east from Madison.

    Hopefully MKE will have 1 tower lit up before the end of summer. I'm pretty convinced we will not have workable LTE till later this year. Pretty frustrating seeing other markets being worked on so quickly yet we have 5-6 towers done in 1 month in the boonies. 

     

    I hear ya. But look at it like this.. It's creeping closer to you out in Waukesha. And pretty soon my beat will be out in that area again so I'll be able to enjoy it at least.
