Lte in grafton. 26down 9up

Milwaukee market will have more accepted sites this week

It appears the g2 and n5 will not pick up lte on towers that are only 4g accepted.

As more towers become 3g accepted this won't be a problem

If you're getting 1x800 that means all those towers will also be 3g accepted.

Interesting that I have the same NID all the way over here in grafton

The free app LTE Discovery will give you the general area

Or signal check pro

The arrow for tower direction points one way. Then if you flip it to portrait view it points the opposite direction.

In downtown milwauke the sprint signal can change from full bars to 0 bars block by block. That's just the nature of high rise buildings. You can easily be in the shadow of a building. Until this week I was downtown every weekday picking up packages. I worked after 5pm and had 30 stops. I had usable signal almost everywhere except during the summer festivals. I have seen improvements over the past 6 months and its only going to get better.

Sprint discontinued the premiere program in 2011

It allowed you to upgrade every year.

when i initially got my evo 3d i did not need to resign and got the right price, due to being a "sprint premier customer" since my number has been with sprint 10+ years.

Thank you everyone

The ignore settings can be found when you click edit my profile on the left

yea I have someone blocked so I cant see there posts

Is it possible to ignore a user so that I can not see any posts they make?

There is a person who posts in my market that only complains

He is a sponsor so I do not report his posts

I was just up there right by that tower and i didn't get any 800 at all...

Do a PRL update and you will switch over to 1x800

Site ID is also now 22xxx

I also connected to 1x800 on the falls rd tower

Thanks mark for providing great network updates.

Updates are happening in the milwaukee market.

The site on hwy 60 in grafton is now broadcasting 1x800

Usage Limitations. Other plans may receive prioritized bandwidth availability. Streaming video speeds may be limited to 1 Mbps.

Interesting. Is this in the terms of other plans?

Yes it is. But that is in the north wisconsin market.

I got mine at walmart and used it to buy signal check????

There really is no timeframe. Its pretty much done when its done.

But visible work is better then nothing

The guys were back up on the tower by Brown Deer and 43 today. It appears that they have some of the NV stuff on already.

 

How long does it take for them fully upgrade/test/ready a tower to be deployed?

They also had people climbing the tower just north of county line road on the west side of 43

So I was on my way home today and saw this on the tower by 43 and Brown Deer (sorry about the quality I was driving):

Definitely network vision guys and they had some of the transmitters on the ground (I am on roaming off this tower and the others in the area), so the Sprint stuff obviously isn't transmitting. Can't wait!!!

Very happy that the towers in grafton have been updated. I guess that's why last week the towers were down from 1130 to 1am each night.

The water tower is just north of menards. I didn't know if they were putting the panels up or taking them down. But the water tower was stripped of panels yesterday.

got my first reliable 4g signal off the oak creek tower

It was smooth and refreshing. Like upgrading to a new phone. This is what mobile browsing should be.

Looking forward to more.

I was getting 4g on wisconsin ave downtown tonight.

i have something similar in my backyard. Mine is att uverse

In somewhat related news, any bets on if/when our member count will go back to being above the NV Sites Complete count? I mean, being able to call a site my very own is nice, but we obviously need more members

We all are on the same site. Thats why are speeds are so slow

I was wondering if the Janesville/Beloit area was in the Milwaukee region as well?

yes it is
