A little look on the bright side.
I don't think there will be much complaining about how bad the network is in Milwaukee while they are fixing it----how much worse could it be than normal.
Yep, Evo LTE. That's why I toggled and did everything I did. I ran the tests between 430 and 5 today. It didn't show 3G until I ran the tests, it just showed the bars. I was expecting 4G to pop up at any second.
I couldn't get any 4G around the Summerfest grounds, even though I updated everything, toggled airplane mode, and turned off and and on my phone. I did get 2211 down and 581 up with a ping of 131ms, which is much better than it is by my house.
On Skokie in Northbrook, Illinois LTE definitely faster, but not amazing. Sensory has it light purple but phone was struggling to make it to 5MB. Is this what we have to look forward to once Milwaukee is complete? Lacklusture?!
Towers that have changed over to----it has just started, so please be patient. Milwaukee? Milwaukee market? Switched in Milwaukee, really where? Some straight talk would be great.
I'm grasping at straws because I don't want to assume Sprint doesn't value our market. Merger with another carrier in this region? I know the US Cellular thing has been talked about, but I'm grasping at straws to explain what doesn't make sense. Is the network here a big mess and needs a lot of work before hand?
Two sites that have had underground work done. I was able to post one pic but apparently I'm limited to pics that I can upload? Both were at a tower with Sprint antennas, one of them was a Sprint only tower.
This is site "Ml17xc186E" It is on Waterford between 6th and 13th St. This is a Sprint only tower. This is the second time I have seen a tower being connected to a telephone line underground (the other one was on the tower on 43rd and Loomis Rd basically by the north bound Loomis Road exit). Where in the process of updating a tower would work like this be done?

Not really in the city of Milwaukee. I'm checking a few sites that I have found by address. I used google maps using the satelite feature a lot. I'm down for people sharing looking up different locations and have said so, but nobody took me up on the offer.
Any new Sprint antennas on this tower. Something is being done, they have a machine heating up the ground going to a phone connection. What's going on? This is tower 1267131. ML03XC106
Another one? 7301 W Nash
