I had seen coverage showing up there so when we had supper the night before at Arrowhead and your new mapping I looked and nothing. Must have turned it back on for you. Same thing near our house in another location. Get a snippet of 4g now and then and after that nothing.

Anything on southern NM. Travel there occasionally and wife has family there.

I was at Arrowhead last night and had zero lte. Today a whole bunch more showed up on Sensorly. Maybe we have to join a double secret club to get 4g at Arrowhead. Then again my wife has a snippet around the corner from our house in a different area and later in the day it was gone again no trace.

Yes two seprate markets for Sierra Vista and Flagstaff. I am just wondering what smaller cities in AZ will get lte first regardless of the market. Plus was just responding that even though Bumblebee is small it is right next to the i17 corridor so it may have a very good chance of getting lte before some other places in AZ. Though I can not remember if Centurylink has fiber to that tower?

Well it is right below i-17 so always possible. I am wondering when outher cities will get 4g. like Flagstaff, Sierra Vista and others on both half of the state.

Fix it and be done with it. Like I hope Son wants to do.

They do have some nationwide backbone. Remember they started microwave backbone in the olden days. So microwave to some connected towers? Plus backbone is a commodity. In rural areas Sprint has options. Less rural smaller ugh but options. Then microwave in. My wife in this instance as long as facebook and email text doesnt care about speed. It wowrks she doesnt care. You idiots whine and do not build in before I think Verizon roaming in fun vacation AZ leaves she will make us leave. Not sppeed just there. Oh no one left to buy poor us. We messed up poor us. Pay us and see our whiny us section to see more whine. Maybe Son will; just do it. Or is Hesse a God or worst thing since gutter slime threads.

Gee just because it hasn't been done in the past doesn't mean it can not happen in the future. Reading here in the future not all LTE will be compatible anyways and Verizon roaming may disappear in the future. Nextel towers are done with. Why not ad back a few thousand in some higher traffic higher growth areas or where people visit and travel. There are places in summer that there are way more visitors than people living there year round. Same with winter ski areas where seasons are reversed. Also some areas there are still new subdivisions going in and more people living there or unfortunately going to live there in the future. I can think of some places microwave in some backhaul add to an existing cell tower for probably Verizon owned by whoever, then get the visitors traveling through, get local sprint customers, and since Son bought Clearwire give locals internet that way also. No dsl or very pathetic, absolutely no cable, and maybe a small WISP in these areas. Usually only desperate or nerds go for wisp. There is no local small cell company to buy so only options are to ignore like some here just keep repeating or build your own. Hope Son sees a future to build your own in some select areas. Or just ignore the possibility of some at least to me and my wife key 3g roaming areas disappear in the future when 4g takes hold with all cell companies. ATT and Tmobile had no signal only Verizon and Sprint roaming. If those areas for Sprint go away my wife would not be happy. Plus some key areas no Sprint or even Sprint roaming but are Verizon my wife has family in and as said major tourist areas if there are no fires and do have a rowing population base unfortunately. But lets scream old Sprint and how poor we are with no vision for the future. We switched to Sprint and did not have a grandfathered unlimited data plan. We do not use that much but caps and overages can suck. So we went Sprint as i saw a future with it. Let the myopic penny counters with saying it can not be done bash. S&P did the same bash as no vision and maybe some bigger companies nudge the drop. Big two hate competition and would not doubt talked in someone ear. Son has vision and probably predicted the wrong credit drop back lash even though bet he does not agree about the risk level. In town urban may get taken care of by small cell stuff that would help Clearwire. But still rant here about how it is not money smart and impossible.
