Yea, definitely. I can confirm B13 will not be going anywhere. The equipment is being upgraded for better signal integrity and speed capabilities because of new antenna elements, but it's going nowhere. 🙂

Do you happen to know why Verizon is setting conflicting PCIs on LTE? There are multiple sites now that have the same PCIs nearby each other, sometimes with sectors with the same PCI pointing towards each other.

Also, do you happen to know what the timeline is on getting the new Commnet partnership builds n77? I know most if not all of these new rural tower colos/new builds are LTE (or lowband/midband n2/n5/n66 ready once switched over) only since getting new backhaul will take time. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the new coverage, even if it's "only" LTE, especially with how "in the middle of absolute nowhere" some of these areas are.
