It's tough in this market because it is either really good or really bad.  There is really no middle ground.

 

My biggest (personal) complaint is why they would have LTE in towns of 12,000 and 7,000 (Mendota and Firebaugh) but not have it for a town of 17,000.  Kerman is a blackhole with all the other neighboring towns with LTE.  It makes no sense.  Oh and the backhaul/hub provider is 2' away so that cannot be an excuse.

I can guarantee you that Sebastian is not providing the backhaul for that site.

No more Sprint for this guy. I'll still keep an eye on the 8t8r deployment, though.

Well, first of all, Bakersfield sucks. Second of all, Bakersfield launched before Fresno did. Third, Fresno has more sites than Bakersfield does so that's why Fresno has more upgrades. Both cities have sites that are not broadcasting LTE, too.

Right on cue, I will provide the pixels:

8T8R in Selma, as well:

I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's called LTE Discovery

Ah, this thread has gotten lively.

This is what B25 looks like in Clovis (Shaw/Minnewawa), now:

Didn't take long.

Is he doing some kind of illegal hotspot operation?

A hotspot is not intended (nor priced) to replace a wired broadband connection.

Nope.

That's what I thought.

I dont see how becoming a customer of the only company that provides service in your area is considered a problem.

 

Do you expect him to use 56k in 2014?

 

Sprint provides the service because they want the customers....that's how it works.

Does Sprint offer an unlimited home broadband / fixed wireless / mifi type of service?

Need an internet connection for that.... The person you quoted doesn't have that option.

I think a black hole would open up if you plugged it into a bridged Sprint connection.

unlimited data from sprint.  I live just outside of comcast and u-verse services area and my only source of the web is cell phone for the family  

Contributing to your own problem, I see.

Newbie here from Kingsburg.  Switched over from Verizon about 30 days ago.

 

We have LTE in Kingsburg but it fluctuate significantly from a .30 to 4.33 mbps while standing in the same spot.  Last Tuesday, i was hitting close to 17 mbps for a couple of hours and then following day went back and has been the same since.

 

Just wondering if there's anything that can be down and truly don't get why I can't get that 17 mbps consistent.

Hopefully you had a good reason to switch from VZW.

5 mhz is what's up, unfortunately.

Dooood I hella would have lurked on that booth

I saw an AT&T setup at the west end of the fairgrounds when I was there last week. I didn't have my sprint phone, but my verizon 5S was hanging tough on band 4.

Confirmed GMO on Bellaire, James.

My money is on that one being one of, if not the last site in Fresno county to get LTE. I'm almost positive it's a GMO, and the permits to change that are a long ways out from even being issued.

Legacy gear is starting to disappear now, too. Gotta make room for dat B41.

Looks like a 1900 RRU to me. Were they not there before? It looks like te legacy gear was taken down, but you would know better than I would when that happened.

If Tulare county can't currently get 800 SMR because of its proximity to San Bernardino county, Kern county probably can't either.

If you're looking for B41 to clear up coverage gaps, you may as well just switch carriers now.

Technically no; the wimax site is across the street.

Just realized that there's one site in fresno that was not accepted even for 3G.
