Tengen31 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Network speed is holding them back. They need a little push. 15mhz b25 on every tower and more towers getting b41 equipment should fix this. It's all about how fast they are willing to move. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk The biggest thing that could help is densifying both B41 and the 15x15 B25 then aggregated them. The results well change. Sprint network needs to be vzw dense. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengen31 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Sprint on the other hand is 98% of towers with b25 10mhz, b26 5mhz and some still 5mhz b25. No 4x4 mimo, no 256 qam, no CA. It's like Sprint is 3 years in the past.

I see 3 permits for Sprints new 2500ghz/800mhz Antenna. But it's taking a long time for them to do a upgrade. Been sitting since December.

Unfortunately no device supports B25+3x41. Only B25+2x41Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1dante Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Where are the two new towers for B41 located? I’ve only been on B41 while downtown and close to the University of Florida campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is 441 north where there was no B41 there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will continue densification can definitely help with getting the speeds back together and coverage too.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1dante Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Was inside of Walgreens just now, and I noticed that my signal was unusually stronger than normal. Did I field test and got B41 with UARFCN 39874. This particular Walgreens does have a Sprint express booth inside if that info helps any. Just wondering if this is B41 signal came from a small cell or possibly magic box? Any info would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1dante Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 That’s awesome to see the upgrades happening in Duval county. I was at the St. John’s town center two weeks ago getting my phone fixed at the Apple store. Service was OK, but not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhman101 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) So I just stumbled across what appears to be a new Sprint mini macro or small cell in Lake City right by Columbia High School it is still under construction by Mobilitie and the site id listed on the pole is JA90XS054 pics here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jhg5b5qfffimeoc/AAAnogePf_IEtZcie67spx7Ha?dl=0 EDIT: Just uploaded permit to the dropbox folder as well Edited July 2, 2018 by jhman101 Added Info 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell352 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I don’t know about Jacksonville but Ocala and Gainesville have been seeing tons of b41 upgrades the past two months. Most seem to be the 10 port 2500/800 set up. With others being 8 port 2500mhz only.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
