Default Another Qwest Site Appears on Sprint!

They seem to be showing up all over town. This one appeared in east Denver yesterday, and for the first time, we now get Sprint PCS service in that part of our office building away from the windows. No more 'beep-beep'.

This conversion is producing all kinds of surprises!

BTW, to find out what's going on the top of a building, just look around to see where the 'Super' takes a cigarette break. They gushed w/info. I walk past this building on the way to lunch.

Great news Bill! I knew Sprint was likely getting a lot more from Qwest than just Montana & Wyoming.

Did they add a Sprint SID to exsisting Qwest panels or did they put up an entirely new set of their own?

Are you going to update your pros and cons page now where you describe how Sprint won't work in your office too well?

I'm not sure, but I think they are transmitting both SID's, and they are using the existing equipment. They added a third panel antenna in the middle of Qwest's two, making Qwest's antennas look awfully skimpy.

Yes, Larry, I will stop dissing Sprint for not working in my office building. There are a handful of happier campers at work, but they probably never new what was wrong, and that it now stopped.

Sounds like they simply took the exsisting Qwest site and added their own SID to it. They might have added the extra panel for capacity reasons or something.
