Outdoors I can occasionally get Sprint 1x but the nearest 800 tower on I-16 is pretty far away; the nearer towers are a mix of GMOs and sites that never got 1900 LTE at all. I think the tower T-Mobile is on in Cochran also had Nextel coverage but Sprint didn't bother expanding its footprint there; you'd think having a college campus with 2000 students would translate into enough customers to be worth serving, but apparently not.

A ground mount site in Milledgeville, GA was upgraded from GMO 1900 LTE to a full Band 25/26/41 setup. Apparently, this tower had one of the lowest utilization rates in GA....given there was zero band 41 within about 40 minutes of that site in any direction, I imagine they're doing some serious expansion in central GA now.

Hard to see exactly but looks like original NV dual band + 10 port dual band (B26/B41)?

In person, it looks like the traditional Band 41 and Band 25/26 antenna you see a lot in Georgia. They've also added the same Band 41 antenna to the existing band 25/26 site in town.

If the tower had the ruus on the ground but NV antenna it is not called a GMO. It's called a GMR(Ground Mount Radio). GMO is only when they use old legacy antenna to turn on b25 LTE.

It had the old legacy antenna until last Friday not NV my bad   

Band 41 is coming to Milledgeville, GA it looks like. This site (top rack...bottom rack is VZ LTE only) was a LTE GMO site with legacy  antennas until last Friday. This tower is located by the lake on the border of Baldwin and Putnam. Only band 25 being broadcast currently. Speeds of ~25 Mbps on an iPhone 6. The congested site in town has yet to be updated. They also need to invest in mounting antennas on some of the water towers that are currently still LTE holes  

Is there a minimum amount to be a sponsor? I donated a small amount (college student here...lol) but still haven't been updated
