T-Mobile Service Update. Spoiler! Nothing has changed. Waiving service charges. Spoiler

30 Upvotes

My name is Charly, and I am reaching out regarding your recent correspondence with concerns about your service, and we appreciate you allowing us the opportunity to respond to this matter.
 
T-Mobile recently made adjustments to its network in portions of Boulder County and surrounding areas to comply with federal regulations related to the Table Mountain Radio Quiet Zone. Unfortunately, these required changes have impacted service in some locations, including areas where customers have experienced difficulties making and receiving calls.

Our engineering teams continue to monitor network performance and make improvements wherever possible to minimize the impact on customers. While we have successfully met the federal requirements, we are still working on long-term solutions to improve coverage and network capacity. These improvements require additional coordination and approval from the federal government before they can be implemented.

Regrettably, we do not have an estimated timeframe for when these improvements will be completed. I understand this is not the answer you were hoping for, and I certainly wish I could provide a more definitive timeline.

That said, I also recognize that you have continued paying for services that have not been working as expected. While I cannot immediately resolve the network concerns, I would like to offer to cover three months of your T-Mobile service charges as a courtesy to help make up for the inconvenience you and your family have experienced.

I know this does not replace the reliable service you deserve, but I hope it demonstrates our commitment to acknowledging your concerns and doing what we can to make things right.

For additional information regarding the Table Mountain Radio Quiet Zone and the federal requirements involved, you may visit the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences website: https://its.ntia.gov/research/table-mountain/tm-home.

Shout out to the DreamLab at the museum

51 Upvotes

I took my little munchkin there over the weekend and had a great time! It's awesome that Longmont's getting more activities for kids that's indoors for the hottest and coldest parts of the year. It's like Lafayette's WOW Museum, although a bit smaller.

I also noticed a particular city councilman there, haha.

Should I visit Longmont more during October?

13 Upvotes

Hello, Longmont I'm new to Colorado in general I currently live and work in Aurora. I came to Longmont for a band show on main street this past weekend. I had a great conversation with someone there (this is not directly a missed connection post), I saw some plant stores on main street I'd like to see during the day, and some interesting restaurants during the drive in/out.

My question is should I visit Longmont during my free days (weekends) and explore here or explore more of Aurora/Denver. How is your weekend nightlife and my chances of running into the same (person/people).

If you recommend more weekend visits to Longmont; what are your restaurant recommendations? Or plant shops?

Hello!

Considering a move to the Longmont area.

What are the best public schools (elementary to start) and neighborhoods?

Job would be near the Denver outlets and up to a 25-30min commute is okay.

A large drone at Longmont airport?

20 Upvotes

Twice I've seen what appears to be a very large drone near the airport. Once it seemed to be hovering about 200 ft up above Rodgers Rd. Both times were on Thursday night around 8pm and the craft was well lit up. Does anyone know about this?

I heard a big bang then the power at my apartment complex went out. Called the city to let them know but no idea when it'll be fixed 😕

Art space near McIntosh Lake

I came across this while walking my dog. It's a space to create art. The neighbor built and stocked it, and even provided a table where people can sit and create. It's on Harvard between 17th & Lakeshore. Are there others like this around town?

Speed Camera on Airport Road

74 Upvotes

City of Longmont has placed an automated speed camera on the north end of Airport road, between 9th & St. Vrain. Here's a pin:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/vqd3ETyPFiiSELGi8

The camera will fine you $40 if you're going 11mph over the speed limit, or 56mph. Given that this section of Airport is a wide, straight, 4-lane road with few lights and high visibility, the city will likely be collecting a lot of money from this placement.

The Longmont discord, social servers still up?

14 Upvotes

I’m a 26-year-old male who is single and also looking for friends while I’m out here. I actually live in Berthoud but there’s nothing here so I extend my reach. I was looking on Reddit and found a page that said there was or is a Longmont social discord but that post was two years ago in the link was expired. I am not familiar with discord very much. I have one group with some friends of mine, but we don’t use it much except to voice chat. If anyone could help me out at all, that would be great thank you!!!

Time Between Ballot Received to Ballot Counted?

10 Upvotes

Hi Longmonsters,

My spouse and I were both notified on 10/12 that our ballots were received. In past elections, they've been counted very quickly after that. It is 10/16 and neither has been counted, which seems unusual. Should we be concerned? I am assuming if there is an issue they will notify us?

Thanks for any insight.

Looking for a physical therapist

10 Upvotes

My aging mom has been struggling with sciatica for a while now, and she's been going to a PT office in Boulder because that's where we moved from not too long ago. But she's definitely plateaued in her healing, and it seems like the right time to look for a different PT closer to our new place.

So does anyone have any physical therapists to recommend? We live downtown, but honestly anywhere in Longmont will be more convenient than driving to Boulder. It would need to be a place that accepts Medicare though. Thanks for any insight!
