Yeah, fer sure. but my travels would have taken me up to Mequon to pick up some people for the tailgate, then back to Miller Park, so I would have traversed a bit of the city. I have no idea where these accepted sites are, I'm not allowed to donate to this site according to the boss. Sorry Robert, I tried.

I've been running Sensorly for every trip I've taken in Madison in the past 2 weeks and will continue to do so, so if it blips to LTE, it'll get mapped.....but there's nothing going on here with our towers that I've heard of. I also ran it all the way up to GB last weekend (through Appleton area) and nothing but 2G/3G mapped the whole way. I was supposed to be going through Milwaukee on Sunday but our tickets to the Brewers/Cardinals fell through. Was going to be my first time in a suite, alas, I'll have to listen on the radio. Great to see some sites accepted in Milwaukee!

I'm going to get a call back from someone from Dan@sprint.com's office tonight around 5pm (third time in 6 years I've done this ). I sent him/them a rather lengthy email with specific points of coverage (lack there of) and a few other items. I know it won't help at all as those people have less information about things than even the entry level CSRs, but it'll sure make me feel good afterwards.

Ha, have you guys been to a Badger Football game in the fall? You can't use a Sprint phone in the entire city of Madison for the day. Phone calls won't go through, texts - forget about it, and data? no way jose. I think that cellular traffic around stadiums is always going to be awful, they can't handle that density no matter what. Now, if you look at what New Candlestick Park is doing in SF, that's going to be impressive. Every fan in the stadium could be connected to their WiFi at one time with speeds on average of 15-30 Mbps down/up -> at least they say they have the tech to accomplish this feat. For what we're charged for seats at professional sports, every stadium should do this for their fans that shell out ridiculous amounts of money for merch and food. I'm sorry to ramble on there.

head over to sxtp developers, they have links Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

those horses have the life! Great to see stl getting juiced up in locations. I'll be back there in June (from Florissant originally, now in Wisconsin). I at least let my parents know to flip on their CDMA/LTE on their S3s. I'll help out the sensorly when I'm there. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

MD4 official is now out. FYI. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah, I figured as much after looking at other pictures on this site. I at least have a record now so if things do change I'll be able to tell. Thanks Robert for the updates! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Back in like November, my tower (at PD and Seminole) in Madison had like zero voice and text service. I called Sprint, obviously, and they told me it was for NV upgrades and LTE. However, after more calls and conversation, they back tracked on this and said it was for non NV related issues. So, I'm not sure anything NV was done (speeds are still abysmal here) since no sites have been accepted as complete in our area according to Robert. I have nothing new to report. Here's a shot of our tower as of today 4/22/13 Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I've been running this since it leaked and can report its great. I'm seeing equivalent battery life really to MB1. Multi view is neat but limited. I'm stock, I know root can do more with it. Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2

There was no activity there this am. I don't see any new equipment either. I'll try to send a pic if I get a good shot. Maybe someone can identify what might be the correct equipment.

Yes, right near AMC. Haven't checked this AM again.

Yesterday morning, at the tower right by my house in Fitchburg, WI (Near Seminole Hwy / PD), I saw a mess of trucks near the base and people on the tower. I was pretty excited and wanted to detour my run over there and ask a lot of questions, but its contained within a power station so you can't really get close to it at all. Does anyone know the name of the companies subcontracted in the Madison Area? Is there anyway to know this information? I believe this is one of Sprint's biggest towers in the Madison area. I'm hopeful that this means something is going in. They have already done "capacity", "speed" and "voice" upgrades about 6 months ago according to network.sprint.com. Now the tower is absent on that page so I'm assuming that we will start to see more with the current activity?? It could be unrelated at all. I still can't imagine a future where Sprint is good here.

Fantastic break down. I'm disappointed in the lack of SVDO for the S4 as Madison won't see usable LTE for quite some time, I'd guess. I really don't want to get the HTC One because no removable battery and no expandable storage......grrrr.....tough decisions. I'm just hoping this X phone has merit and Google will shock us all with something amazing and usable on Sprint with LTE (but I'm not holding my breath). And as much as I think the idea of wireless charging is nice, I didn't realize the signal took a hit because of it. However, world roaming (assuming there's a sim in there??) would be very nice addition as I find myself overseas quite often these days.

I think NV is complete here. Ha! 129kbps down, 43kbps up

Yeah, you're telling me, brother. We've got all kinds of "speed upgrades" and "capacity upgrades" in Madison, but I haven't had an inkling of LTE signal at all....not that I'm expecting to be able to access it, but seriously man. I live directly across the street from one of their biggest towers in the area so I'd assume it would be first-ish on the list. You know, the only place to catch WiMax in Madison (which is/was never launched here) was a fleeting amount of signal on a dinky tower over near West Towne Mall, near Woodman's. So who knows, maybe that'll be the first tower. The story I've gotten about Madison from a Sprint guy in KC that I trust was that this whole network was 3rd partied for Sprint for many years and then recently (like 5 years ago) they bought back all the towers and started running it again. They know it is under powered for the population and they are working on it. I'm really, really, really holding out here with Sprint. Have 5 lines invested in them in multiple cities. Really hope they do something here soon. I've been patient.
