Improved cell coverage?

[cycloner29]

It was way worse than it’s ever been (Verizon). I couldn’t do anything.

I totally agree. The only thing I got was a text from my BIL in Dallas telling me the Iowa score. I kept getting it in triplicate. Worst service I’ve ever had around JTS.

I noticed a black unit for what I assume is 5G on top of a light pole in the parking lots up near Hilton. Maybe there were more. A lot of good that did.

Verizon was complete trash inside the stadium. RV Village was better but not great.

Verizon was terrible today. I was a dope and forgot to download my tickets before I left my house. Had the hotspot to a friend with another carrier to get my tickets about 3 hours before the game.

I don't understand how we haven't made a sponsor deal with Mediacom or someone service provider and have sponsored WiFi inside the stadium.

It was worse than ever

Whatever they did outside the stadium, the inside was horrible. My buddy and I couldn't get anything to go through with Verizon. I expect some slowness at the beginning and half of the game. But NOTHING including texts were going through today.

Mediacom would probably crash across the entirety of Ames knowing their reliability.

Last year I was able to check scores regularly at every game on Verizon.

Couldn't do a thing from about 10:30 on this morning.

US Cellular here. It was night and day better for me this year. No issues and I was even able to stream games during breaks.

 

[ianoconnor]

AT&T here and seemed a bit better than previous years.

 

[cyucat7]

I have Verizon and was able to stream other games during the 3 minute commercial breaks on YTTV in the stadium. So who knows.

us cellular sucked couldnt get score

Verizon and jack squat was working from about 10am on.

And I don't think people realize how expensive in stadium wifi is to be used 7 days each year. Very poor bang for the AD buck.

This - probably at least 5 mil for Wi-Fi at Jack trice

Yeah, seeing Oklahoma spent $14.9M, Ohio State $10.5M, and Auburn $10M

On the positive side, I left the game with 90% battery, because I could not text or check any other scores.

 

[Selmak The Tok'Ra]

I have T-Mobile and it was a night and day difference from last year. Couldn't even send/receive texts last year but was able to do so all day, along with loading ESPN up for gamecasts of other games. Have the same phone as last year. Didn't try to stream anything, though.

Have Tmobile as well and can confirm that the connection was much improved this year and I was able to stream other games on my youtubetv app without much issue. Some stuff loaded a little slowly but still loaded.

Yay because i have USCellular.

Sorry verizon people!
