Should be really nice when the network is complete. Even with a weak signal I got around 10 meg's up and 8 meg's down. Facebook and a few other apps just fly along.

Logged my first sensorly by marathon city. Just off hwy 29 up thru state hwy 107.

Very cool thanks Robert. I see most of the sites around me are 3g just to the north and East of me. Still keeping my eye on the sites around me here tho.

Wish Wausau had at least one tower with 4g

Cool. What town is this? And what do you mean by fiber?

Backhaul I'm in Wausau

I see they were working all day all over town on fiber. Not even a single tower was started here yet.

Not sure how LTE works but I was driving south from Wausau with my wife heading to Madison on Sunday and I had her turn hre iPhone 5 to LTE in the Stevens Point Area and we couldn't get an LTE signal. Do you need to "reboot" the phone.

Still paitenly waiting for the Wausau area.

I had lte in point the other day. And still nothing here in Wausau.

I'm patiently waiting in Green Bay/Appleton. I was at a Sprint Corporate store about a week ago and all the guy could tell me is that we should be up by the end of the year.

 

Now that Stevens Point has it though' date=' you would think Green Bay/Appleton wouldn't be too far behind, right?[/quote']

 

Work is underway

 

There are a lot of places that Sprint beat AT&T with LTE. And Sprint even beat VZW with LTE in a few places (like Fredericksburg' date=' TX). But it's very satisfying to hear of places where Sprint LTE arrived before AT&T even got off 2G.

 

That's the way it is here in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Sprint has 3G, Tmo and AT&T only have 2G EDGE. If Sprint gets LTE here in the next few months, they will have LTE here before AT&T even has 3G. It's priceless.

Puts us closer to the top. :-)

When we made the switch from AT&T I joked that Sprint would launch LTE here before AT&T got 3g (still edge).

 

I'm laughing my tail off' date=' as the AT&T upgrade completion date hot pushed back again, to July.

I got freaked out thinking I might have had a flaky phone cause I didn't have any lte. And bam it was there. Very cool!

I'm in Stevens point right now. Took a but to find lte. But here is a screen shot

Don't put it close to your ear! You might catch the mites.

Lol

 

LOL I used to cheat. I had a VERY illegal 20 watt kicker in my car that would boost the Tx & Rx signals. I'd just key up the mic and they could only get so close. I would bleed into just about every TV' date=' radio and telephone within a couple thousand feet.[/quote']

 

I still use CB up in Wausau. I use my ham radio about 100 Watts plus my ham license lol but I hang out on channel 38 LSB skip talking.

 

This is promising. I may have to take a some time in the next few weeks and cruise around looking for a LTE signal. Kinda reminds me of my CB days when we would play "tag" using RF meters.

Lol chicken band.. break 19 hehe

Fond du Lac is also showing LTE on Sensorly. Looks like your guy's market is finally moving along.

That's a good thing!

That's about what I had down in tomah a few months back

I don't think it's official' date=' but they're definitely lighting up. I live in Point, and this is the tower by my house, and it was the first time I've seen it.

That's very cool. Won't be long I hope for Wausau.

LTE is hot in Stevens Point! Mapping Sensorly as we go. Don't worry' date=' wife is driving.

Are there any sprint lte in point? I didn't see any of those towers listed. Just a free down hwy 29 going towards green bay.

Does nv work happen on towers at night time? I was running speed test's in my apartment at midnight last night. One test I was getting 2.5 meg down with full bars' date=' the next test would not even connect to 3g, down to only one bar, and couldnt get a 3g connection for 30 minutes. My friend accross town also had the same issues on the tower he connects to at home, at night. Otherwise I have no issues during day time. I know the switch from legacy equipment to nv equipment in Chicago had connection issues, thats why I ask.[/quote']

 

I had the same problem lastnight. Phone showed I had 3g but no data. My friends phone on the same network only had 1x not sure what was going on.

I have wanted to post an answer in this thread for a while. The short answer is yes' date=' it's worth it...but there's so much more to the response and my service area is currently changing daily. It's a very fluid situation when they start rolling out NV upgrades in earnest. The search for LTE is like an Easter egg hunt, but sometimes the tower you found yesterday is off today, or the tower that's been pumping out 0.1-0.6 Mbps one day is connecting only via 1x for a week only to find consistent 1.5-2.0 Mbps 3G for a few weeks, then your seeing a -75 dBm LTE signal blanketing the area for a few days. But the cool part is that you're watching real progress happen before your eyes.

 

Two months ago, I had good 3G coverage, but terribly slow network speeds almost everywhere I went. I'm not gonna lie, I was a little disillusioned. Here I was in one of the largest metro areas in the country, and I had never had the privilege to see the 4G light up on my phone within 75 miles of my house. I was beginning to wonder the same thing; is this wait going to be worth it?

 

Suddenly, my 3G service improved dramatically. It literally seemed like overnight. Within a few weeks, I happened upon a 4G signal...and it was less than a mile from my house! Now, one month later, more than 90% of my daily commute is covered in sub -100 dBm LTE with great network speeds. yesterday, the tower in downtown Willow Grove, PA lit up with LTE for the second time ( hopefully for good), and that covers almost every square foot of real estate I travel to & from on a daily basis. Inside Willow Grove Mall, deep in the center? sub -100 dBm LTE service. Inside my supermarket? Same thing. I can count on my phone to provide a legitimate high speed hotspot for my laptop. I can attend a video conference call at my son's little league field so I can be there when the game starts. It is SO worth the wait. 3G or 4G, I have a solid Internet connection that allows me to conduct business seamlessly anywhere I go.

 

I really could go on & on, but I think I got my point across...NV is bringing a state-of-the-art network to me wherever I need to be so I have more flexibility to balance work & family. I can't give it a better testimonial than that.[/quote']

 

Very nice post!
