To which post do you think he's referring? Link? Me thinks I reside in a city with such a description. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Hey grumpwagon, are you able to get to the tower on the near West of the Capitol? On a large apt building. See if there's anything new on it? I bet this West Wash crew will head there next. There are legacy panels with a nice space in the middle that faces the Capitol. Anyways perhaps keep that one on your radar to check. Went to the Fish Hatchery tower today, there were 3 shiney antennas laying on the ground. I didn't get any pictures because there was a cop back in that lot for some reason.....didn't want to explain why and what I was doing back there. :-) I'll stop by tomorrow post work.

West Washington Ave in Madison. I like how they box the RRUs and paint them on the buildings here. The crew is still working as there are lines hanging off one of the other sides. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

jd777, put these in the in progress thread in sponsor section with the tower IDs. Great pictures!! I'll get West Wash picture this am at some point. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Have you tried to update your profile? And PRL? Yo most likely tried this. What you should try next is to flash the latest firmware again. At least the modem. That should fix it. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Whoa man, scrub those tower IDs from your post! Only in Sponsor forums. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Beg to differ about the Super Walmart on South Towne site. It's the bottom rack, NV equipment is there. I also have the Monona water tower in this post. I don't have the Buckeye tower past the interstate yet, or the Sigglekow Rd tower either near the Curling center....if you have those, that would be great to post up to the in progress site. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1983-network-visionlte-milwaukee-market-including-madison/?p=224783

These boys are wasting no time at home tree in Fitchburg. Day 2, still on tower, all antennas up it appears. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

New antennas up with RRUs! I could not get a picture but I will try to get a picture tomorrow unless you are able Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Sorry for the confusing terminology. There are Sites in Progress that have visible stuffs like new antennas, cabinets, backhaul Fiber evidence, etc. However, until they show up on Robert's pretty "NV Sites Complete" thread (in sponsor section), they are not technically "complete". At that point (when they show up on the map), everything needed has been installed, they've been tested and inspected/approved. That said, they may be Sprint accepted/complete site and still not be broadcasting juicy LTE goodness that we can connect to....perhaps its broadcasting but we can't get the signal. Does that help?

Son of a biscuit eater. Anyone want to trade for a regular S4?

Normally yes, but we'll see. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Madison (and surrounding area) has 5 total towers left that don't have NV equipment on them. Fish Hatch and Beltline, Hilldale, West Wash (might be being worked on) nearest West of Capitol and nearest East. However, not many that are actually "accepted complete" by Sprint. See earlier for hand waving explanations. No idea what the turn on schedule might be but at least here, we're poised. I'm sure Milwaukee is in the same boat. The towns you mentioned at the end have between 1 and 6 towers total in them. That's easier to finish than Milwaukee with brazillions of sites. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I really hope there's like 50 acceptances and live sites tomorrow. Timely for the trolls. :-) Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Booyah!! I just checked out most of the ones we were missing in Madison. Most are all accounted for. We are DUE for a big, big, big batch of acceptances and the entire city lighting up!!!!! That was quite the little road trip I just went on..... EDIT: The one on the north side by the crazy house is done but I couldn't get a picture, no good angle without causing a serious crash.

Old Sauk and Gammon at the church Pleasant View Golf Course in Middleton Tower on 113 near Middleton Monona water tower again, now with panels Behind Super Walmart in Monona Last but not least.....HOME TREE in Fitchburg at Seminole and PD!!!!!

Well, the crew from the Prairie St water tower on edge of Fitchburg and Madison has moved to Home Tree this am! At Seminole and PD roughly, in Fitchburg. Trailer (same one from other site) on site and guys climbing the tower. I'm home today doing some painting so I'll try to get over there at some point. And around to other sites yet to be pictured in Madison. I think there appears to be 2 crews in our area. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

yes I know you've been hunting, sorry didn't mean to lump everyone together. I just get tired of the complaining from some without any real contributions to the rest of us or site (not meaning financially). Okay, back on topic. I agree with rebuking that cluster theory. The tower here in Madison by the airport just got accepted and its live.....it certainly hits the urban area. I think that the best reason I've heard is from lilotimz on another thread about the "Winter Push" where they're not spending time getting towers accepted because that takes more man hours, instead they are just busting arse on as many towers as possible before the freeze. Then go back and work on acceptance checks, testing and paperwork. For that I'm okay with if true! (And if they come online before the Spring...)

Yes, however, persons in Milwaukee could be helping to instill some confidence in movement if they were hunting and photographing towers. Instead of just saying "there's no LTE and therefore no work". There are very few towers in Madison that are not being worked on or having NV equipment installed. You'd probably find the same if there was more effort in MKE.

Well, yes and no. What are you getting for speed tests? If you're getting over 1-2 mbps down and 500+ kbps up, then that's an improvement and it usually accompanies sites that are now close. However, last time I was at Don Miller Dodge over a month ago, right next to the Tokay tower, I was pulling 2mbps+ downloads from that tower on eHRPD 3Geez. I was out that way over the weekend and wasn't getting that, so perhaps an improvement is a good sign???

Things are happening, towers are being worked on. It's coming. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Blanked again on the Acceptance reports from last night! Unfortunately, the new in progress sites didn't make the map either. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I mapped out a few more blips of LTE along High Point Rd. When I came to the top of the hill where the water tower was, my phone lit up into LTE. The engineering screen said that it was a different tower than the Middleton one, perhaps it was the High Point Tower testing? I also was able to pull blips of LTE on the eastside, then again along East Wash. It'll happen one of these days. When I spoke to the guys this AM, I was just yelling up to them on the cherry picker, ha. If they were on the ground, I would have asked more questions about other towers. So did you check out the aforementioned towers in my post on the West Side? Did you take any pictures?

Other towers someone still needs to get pictures of include: EAST MADISON the one on Buckeye past the interstate as well as the one behind Super Walmart on South Towne drive. WEST MADISON the one on the catholic school by Gammon and Sauk, Pleasant View GC entrance, Hilldale (was just there two weekends ago and there was no work on it yet). I'll attempt to fabricate reasons to drive those routes, but don't get out there enough. I'm keeping a daily eye on West Wash, Fish Hatch and the Beltline and of course, Home Tree....the last remaining Fitchburg tower.
