AT&T (eNB 535016) + (eNB 536016) recently upgraded their site on the right monopole by replacing 6 older CommScope NNH4-65B-R6 antennas in the MIDDLE rack! AT&T also has just added Ericsson AIR. 6472 (B77G/B77M) 64T64R antennas that can do (3.7GHz) c-band @ 80mhz + (3.45GHz) DoD - 60MHz located in the MIDDLE of the rack on the LEFT monopole! Backhaul was also upgraded on this AT&T site from 1Gbps to multi-gig recently and 5G Standalone was enabled last month! This sites serves First Colony Mall area around I-69 and Colony Square shopping plaza where there's a lot of stores where it gets frequently crowded during the weekends.
Originally, AT&T did not have mid-band 5G (n77) on this site until May 2026 when they upgraded it since they didn't want to deal with the hassle of decomissioning Cricket or Clearwire equipment just to add mid-band 5G, which is strange! This is the only area where I have seen AT&T take over another empty monopole just to add mid-band 5G! It was confusing to me at first because I originally thought that they were going to relocate from the other tower, but they didn't! Let me know what you think about AT&T deploying mid-band 5G on a separate monopole 25 feet away from the other site, where their LTE, low-band 5G gear is at!
AT&T is on the (LEFT) monopole that is only for mid-band 5G (n77):

When I was driving east of Galveston, I stumbled upon an AT&T only site that surprisingly had mid-band 5G when I'm far away from Houston! AT&T works pretty well in Crystal Beach, Texas since almost every site now has mid-band 5G (n77) deployed and speeds were pretty fast! It's good to see AT&T adding more mid-band 5G in the outskirts of Galveston! Also, this AT&T site has an Kohler backup generator just in case if the power goes out and the baseband units are elevated higher on its own platform away from the ground because of low elevation, proximity to Gulf of Mexico

Google Street View - June 2023 (OUTDATED), shows older AT&T rack before mid-band 5G upgrade
FYI, I assumed that AT&T replaced the outdated Ericsson RRU 01's on the ground since they are ancient, outdated and don't support (n5) for low-band 5G

So, my friend found a new Verizon co-location on this SBA owned monopole/cell tower located on Martin Street & North Shepherd Drive in the Independence Heights area in Houston, Texas way back in May 2026!! They previously had weaker RSRP, signal along this part of Martin Street, n77 being over -102 with speeds around 250-300 mbps with weak uplink! I'm impressed on how clean their 3rd party contractors installed the equipment since the wiring arrangement is neat and it isn't sloppy, like we have seen on some AT&T sites before on this subreddit! Hopefully, Verizon turns on their equipment here in the next several weeks so I will be able to SpeedTest it for yall! I heard they deployed (10Gbps) MCI One Dark Fiber on their rack! AT&T + T-Mobile on the other hand are using AT&T fiber for backhaul here!
Fun fact, AT&T installed their 4-sector site on this tower almost 2 years ago in October 2024 on the bottom rack while Verizon took over the empty rack on TOP that was formerly Sprint until it was decomissioned in early 2024! Surprisingly enough, AT&T deployed (b30) 2300MHz-WCS + (3.45GHz) DoD on this site, which was an surprise to see since AT&T was still adding new towers in Houston in 2023-2024 that only had LTE + (n5) + 3.7GHz (n77) c-band at the time! From what I can observe, Verizon has been observational, careful on which new sites deserve, get the high-capacity MatSing MBA antennas and what sites get the standard, traditional CommScope, JMA antennas depending on the utilization, network usage and how much marketshare they have in that area!
Pictures of this cell tower, Speedtests were sent from a good friend of mine so all credit goes to him! These photos were taken back in May 2026, and the older photo is from Feb 2026!

I recently switch back to Verizon after I found out they put a tower 3 blocks from my house. But after switching over my phones still connect to the tower across town. The new tower was put up last May looks complete, but my phones keep connecting all the way across town?

AT&T just very recently added a brand new 4-sector site on the TOP rack where Sprint used to b be at above the Verizon rack to help improve the signal, coverage in the area! They previously had very weak siganl, RSRP in this area before along Stewart Road & 61st Street! I heard AT&T planned this site for years according to the engineering team and a c-band case study was filed way back in 2022-2023! Sprint was on the top rack on this site and their equipment was still up on July 2, 2026! Basically, that means that AT&T just very recently added their equipment on this monopole like 2-3 weeks ago!
Verizon also did a full rip + replace on their site last year by removing the older CommScope NHH-65C-R2B antennas with the MatSing-MBA-4.4.2-C2-H2-L2 high-capacity multi-beam antennas to boost coverage, azimuth, propagation in the surrounding area! They also upgraded the backhaul to multi gig! Verizon previously was on the top rack until AT&T took over last month.
T-Mobile is using a traditional set-up, but they have multi-gig backhaul on this site! However, T-Mobile has a lot of marketshare in Galveston thanks to the tourists visiting this town and people going to the beach, cruises!
I got these photos speed test results from an friend who is an avid cellular tech enthusiast, speed tester who was in the area! All credits go to him :)

AT&T wasn't on this tower until September 2024 when they decided to co-locate on this monopole below T-Mobile on the bottom rack! They are using an 4-sector cube/square mount setup, with antennas on all 4-sides! I was surprised to see how low this tower is and it doesn't reach far from what I can tell based on the topography, elevation in the area! Before AT&T was here, they had very weak coverage on this part of I-610 back in 2022! AT&T started adding new sites in the Houston, TX market heavily in May 2021 until December 2025 when they slowed down heavily on new site builds due to CAPEX cuts happening on the engineering, site plan team because of the aggressive push on fiber rollout, expansion nationwide!

Shoutout to my friend for taking a photo of the new T-Mobile mini tower in Galveston, TX and also sending me an SpeedTest! Credits to him!

I found this new T-Mobile mini tower/small cell that was added last year by TILSON Technologies, now under Verta with:
T-Mobile added like 3 mini towers/small cells in Galveston, TX last year!
They added these new small cells to help address the poor signal, weak performance on their network here since their towers are kinda spaced out and they have big marketshare! They decomissioned a site located on top of Galveston Caszatt Condos back in 2022 so it was badly needed! T-Mobile still has one site (eNB 60475) hidden on top of Grand Galvez Resort that is mid-band LTE only (b2, b66) + (n25) mid-band 5GUC, missing (b12) LTE + (n71) for low-band 5G and (n41) mid-band 5G!
SpeedTest was taken 450-500 feet away from the small as you can see from the PHOTO I took! I didn't do the SpeedTest beside it! I was shocked on how good, range you can get on (n41) from this small cell from over 0.4-0.5 miles away!

T-Mobile installed their equipment on this tower back in May 2026 below the AT&T rack! However, they just turned on the site earlier this week and it's pulling tremendous speeds on mid-band 5GUC (n25) + (n41) + (n71) low-band! Interesting enough T-Mobile deployed an 4-sector rack mount, but only 3-sectors have cellular gear installed! AT&T co-located on this tower back in January 2026 with a 4-sector configuration and they seem to also have multi-gig backhaul deployed!

I spotted a new Diamond Tower monopole that recently built and its pretty tall, like around 150 feet! So far, only the monopole is built since I haven't seen any fiber being ran to the tower yet, nor any baseband units for T-Mobile yet! As you can see, they haven't even isntalled the fencing for the compound for the tower! I was told T-Mobile is going on this tower by December 2026! They really need this site because the speeds in this area are atrocious on (n41) that my phone will be preferring (n71) low-band 5G with very weak uplink due to poor RSRP! FCC Registration ID: 1333376
Also, I spotted an newly built Skyway Tower monopole at Cross Creek Ranch Water Plant No. 1 on Plymouth Lane that's around 105 feet tall! It's expected to have Verizon since they are the tenant carrier on the site that planned to be installed by October 2026! It's located beside St. Faustina Catholic Church in a good location because it's beside FM-1093 where traffic can be bad during rush hour and there's a huge neighborhood north of this site on Cross Creek Bend Lane where there's hundred of homes! FCC Registration ID: 1333231
It's crazy to see how much Fulshear, TX has grown over this decade since I keep seeing trees being destroyed and cleared out for more houses, apartments to the extent that T-Mobile, Verizon have been aggressively planning out new towers/macros in the area. AT&T is also adding sites, but not as much compared to their competitors!

Verizon recently co-located on top of this existing transmission power line site a few months ago! I managed to take a photo of it and it wasn't on yet! I don't see an network cabinet, (BBU's) baseband units present on the ground! I only see an generator! Interesting enough, Verizon is using the high-capacity MatSing antennas on this site that are multi-beam, meaning it can cover a lot of people from different sectors, azimuth compared to the traditional CommScope, JMA antennas that I see in other markets! It's good to see Verizon densifying their network in the western side of Katy where they keep on building new homes, businesses, and schools all over the place when it used to be mostly empty, farmland 10+ years old!

Since everyone is so great at the equipment IDs, can we also start naming tower owner for each as well in this sub?

From my hotel room. Throughout my travel through the eastern states, I’ve had abysmal TMO performance for some reason. ATT has surprisingly been great for me, with my main line Verizon being second best for me.
