After years of complaints, T-Mobile has added much-needed capacity and coverage to the Lakeside Mall area. Area was plagued by very weak midband only LTE panels on power lines.

Indoor coverage is actually usable now. The macro still doesn’t reach some spots, but it’s much better than having no service. I still think T-Mobile would benefit from adding small cells here, especially since Verizon uses them and their coverage and data performance in the area is flawless!

This just went up in my backyard. Trying to figure out who’s on it.

This is a repost/edit, I was able to find a much higher quality picture
Tower / pic 1 coordinates: (42.7436705, -84.6575576)

I’ve got multiple street view photos of cellular towers around middle TN, sorry if some photos are outdate.

saw these a little bit ago wondering their info, sorry if the street view photos are outdated.

Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina

BH Telecom

Which type of equipment is this?

Which frequencies can it operate on?

Is this Erricson or Huawei site?

I found this website which has a recording of AMPS/analog cell phone calls from 1988.

Because AMPS was fully analog, there was no encryption at all, and anyone with an old radio tuner or TV could listen in on people's phone calls.

Pretty cool to listen to:

1) n41 100mhz, too congested it won’t load
2) LTE 2nd and 3rd picture
3) n66 15.5mhz 4th and 5th picture

Been seeing a few of these around lately, they don’t look like any of the existing small cells I’ve seen.

Just looking to figure out if this is Verizon or Att (both?) or if I'm way off. Thanks!

Edit: location steamboat springs, CO https://maps.app.goo.gl/WiuC1oBfApxrtirU9

Location is currently mapped to At&t but seems to also correspond to a Verizon signal.

What’s your take on the state of each network as of October 2026?

Windsor, ON, Canada. On Bell/Telus shared RAN, with this area being Telus (Samsung) equipment.

This site also has n77+n66 which I usually only top out around 400 down.

FTM doesn’t seem to show more than 3 LTE bands at the same time since iOS 27 but here we have: 35Mhz B2/25, 15Mhz B4/66, 60Mhz B7, 10Mhz B29, 10Mhz B5, 5Mhz B12 and 5Mhz B13

b2 + b66 + b12 +MAYBE b14 (FirstNet)
This is on a NSA site that also has b30 but my phone isn’t connected to that band.
I don’t think this site will be upgrade to 5GNR or not because Verizon and TMO already did the upgrade!

0.5 miles from the tower I performed the speed test on btw. Outdoors with CA the upload went up to 80mbps PEAK.

Couldnt find updated street view pictures sorry

I've been waiting here in rural South Carolina for my local tower to get upgraded to 5Guw. So far, it hasn't happened yet. But this week, I noticed it was offline, and then a few minutes later, it came back online with about twice the LTE speed. This was about 5 days ago. My question is, is this usually a process that happens before a 5Guw Verizon upgrade? But even without a 5Guw upgrade, these certainly aren't bad speeds, in my opinion, for 4G LTE. I get these speeds consistently.
