I drove by yesterday and was able to pick up a very weak LTE signal on the road in front of it (she pretty much for sure won't get 4G inside). I even did a speed test on Sensorly. Nothing great, approx. 4 mbps down / 1 mbps up, so check Sensorly in a day or two. It might improve once the tower on Tower Rd. lights up with 4G. That tower seems to have fantastic range since it is on top of the Baraboo Hills (I sometimes get a 1X 800 signal as far away as Reedsburg, approximately 20 miles from the tower site). But, it certainly will improve once 800 LTE lights up.

Probably not unless it is on a hill. I have been trying to fill up the map on Sensorly as of late. I was able to get a bar or two on Hwy 113 by Hwy W, but only because of the added elevation. I'll try to drive out there tomorrow and check it out for you. Check sensorly in a couple days for a better idea.

Looks like I can respond to my own post earlier. I had only been able to pull at best a -77 dBm signal from my house (in the exact chair and everything) in Baraboo from the 1x800 tower in town for the last week. Somehow today the signal is much, much better. All over town in fact. Anyway, turned off LTE on my LG G2 to get this screenshot: Even LTE throughout town was a little bit better on my way home. Still not the best (and probably a placebo effect), but for only one tower in town what can you expect. Can't wait for 800 LTE... And here's a LTE speed test for those of you waiting. This is my first LTE phone and honestly I'm glad I picked Sprint for the unlimited data. In my first week I've already used over 4 GB... I'd be screwed on Verizon.

I'm pretty new to this site and Sprint overall. I have a quick question for some of you 'vets'. Do some of the sites that are sending out 1x800 signals have their power turned down or something? I'm in Baraboo, which only has 1 tower within the city limits. I am pulling in a 1x800 signal from both the Dells (about 8-10 miles away) and Tower Rd (located on the bluffs closer to Merrimac than Baraboo) while in parts of Baraboo, but I can only pull in a 1x800 signal from the Baraboo tower if I am within 10 blocks. Mind you the Baraboo 'tower' is located on top of the Courthouse which is only a 5 floor building, so maybe that is the cause. Whereas the Tower Rd. tower is located on the Baraboo bluffs, and the Dells tower is actually a tower. Just wondering if it is going to improve at all. I'm sure the 4G LTE will if/when they go to 800 LTE, but if the 1x800 signal from Baraboo is any indication then it won't be all that much of an improvement.

Good to hear. I get 1x800 voice pretty much all throughout Baraboo and haven't had any dropped calls so in terms of voice I have no complaints. Also, I get exceptional LTE coverage at my house, only 4-5 blocks north of downtown on a south facing hill. I regularly get 30-35 meg down and 10-15 meg up. I also have noticed that even when I'm showing a very, very poor LTE signal, I can get pretty good speeds. It is just a pain to get dropped to 3G as often as I do. I'm coming from a 3G phone on Verizon though, so honestly I don't feel like I can complain too much!

I am a new customer (as of the 26th) in Baraboo. I have been roaming the streets with Sensorly, trying to fill out the map. Unfortunately, the 4G LTE coverage in Baraboo isn't all that great for a launched market. There really are only two places in town where you can pull in 4G, downtown and on the outskirts of town by Hwy 12 and Cty. Hwy W. I will take a ride out to Devil's Head sometime soon and try to remember to provide an answer for you. I certainly wouldn't expect 4G out there, but it does seem as though the native voice network is pretty decent around here. Give me a few days and I'll post some signal information and speed tests at the resort.
