Not even upgrades yet I bet it will be mid next year for dbq

In Dubuque, I was at the Sprint store for an upgrade and was talking to the sales guy about 4G in Dubuque. He said that a fire has been lit under their @$$ to get Dubuque done. He said the Sprint rep that comes to the store is always hearing complaints and inquiries about when 4G will arrive and that "it's sad that Mt. Pleasant has 4G while Dubuque does not."  I asked if it would be within the next month or so and he gave an adamant "yes", but couldn't give an actual date.

that's great news now lets just hope that it happens!!!!

i would be very doubtful, all of the dubuque sites are 3G accepted, meaning the equipment is installed and has been signed off on. since 4G wasn't turned on that means backhaul wasn't in place yet. however all of the dubuque towers were also GMO sites, so even if they do have backhaul now they are very low priority to getting LTE turned on.

Well that sucks I was hoping we would get it here soon but guess not oh well hope some time we do. Thanks for the updates

So does anyone know if Dubuque will get it before end of year or at all?

Any new updates out there??? Been kind of quiet here.

Ok well I know they are putting in a bunch of new fiber runs by my work on the arterial. Here's to fingers crossed it gets plugged in soon.

Excuse my newb to this but what does backhaul mean? I have an idea just not positive on the process.

I haven't heard or seen anythign for the DBQ region a couple of the towers i have seen do not have the new recievers on them. thinking this is a bad sign. Does anyone have any word on dubuque?

Has anyone heard any word on Dubuque???? What to expect. Glad to see the surrounding cities getting it QCA, CR. Should mean it's getting close near here!!!

Newb here and can't wait for this to hit Dubuque. I have used it on a road trip up to michigan and had amazing speeds!!!

Following and trying to learn what all the info is here to offer so i can hopefully help in my area!
