bbspot Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Bbspot, I know you been tracking the b26 sites. Do you know where these 2 are coming from? I got this briefly in the city. I rarely go into the city, sorry. I know all the sites in foster city, San Mateo, and along my daily commute along the 101 south, down to 237.

I saw they finally accepted the last 3g only tower along 237, but it wasn't broadcasting LTE yet last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all clearwire towers have b41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found much b41 in south bay, but at least b25 is almost everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeblue Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I haven't found much b41 in south bay, but at least b25 is almost everywhere. Take a trip to San Jose and you see a lot around 85/87 to the 280/680 etc. Downtown SJ has a lot of very fast B41 love from converted Clearwire sites. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_gusto Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Saw this report on the east bay about law enforcement using stingrays to Intercept cell signals. This is only a gsm problem right? http://m.ktvu.com/news/news/local/2-investigates-cell-phone-surveillance/nhRSR/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, you don't want your stuff known, go off the grid. Wipe your google history frequently and disclose no information online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuisBOSS302 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 B26 in Livermore! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeblue Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 There is a lot of B26 alive at the San Jose Airport and throughout the city. In Hayward, Sprint must have gone 8T8R because and shut off some Clearwire B41 sites because I used to get a nice signal and all I get now is a weak B41 signal from a site with 310 120 ID.

orangeblue Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Looks like that B26 still needs a lot of work from Oakland to San Jose. Not sure why but Sprint may have switched B41 towers and shut down some Clearwire towers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of two co located sites where they removed the clear signal. Maybe they need some time to optimize the sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeblue Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Why would Sprint remove Clear B41 signals already? Wouldn't it be better to incorporate the sites into the Sprint network as 4G only? The site I am talking about is on McKeever Ave on top of an office building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeblue Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Just feel like the network feels less stable on the 880 between San Jose and the 92. I used to coast nicely on B41 (Clear) and now I jump between a weak B26 signal, blinks of B25 and stretches of B41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeblue Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Maybe they are converting it into a full build or 8T8R? Do you see any 8T8R or NV antennas? No, this is a Wimax / LTE dual site. To clarify, those two sites have 8T8Rs. Nope, other Sprint build towers are 8T8R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingenium Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Sorry if this has been asked before (or if it's only permitted in the Sponsor's forum), but in the East Bay some sites have site IDs that start with SF, whereas others start with FN. Does anyone know what the distinction is? What does FN stand for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what the distinction is? What does FN stand for? No noticeable difference. It was just how the network ID's were assigned. Just feel like the network feels less stable on the 880 between San Jose and the 92. I used to coast nicely on B41 (Clear) and now I jump between a weak B26 signal, blinks of B25 and stretches of B41. Sprint turns off Clear and Sprint LTE sites or sectors when they are testing a nearby site or a new LTE carrier on another frequency.

I hope so that this will be done soon because it kills my battery. It jumps between B25/B41 all the time even if the phone is stationary on my desk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbsynergy Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I noticed my phone parked on B26 a lot of the time yesterday in SF. If it wasn't B26, I was on B41. Looks like they finally launched it! I took this speedtest at the Iron Cactus restaurant on 4th and Townsend with full signal last night. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they finally launched it! I took this speedtest at the Iron Cactus restaurant on 4th and Townsend with full signal last night. I live on 5 th and King and started noticing B26 as well. That tower needs some B 41 to handler the crowds that come and go on each train. There's a tower a block west that still hasn't gotten any love. Upgrading that one would relieve some load from 4th and King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_gusto Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 My home site by ocean beach is broadcasting b26. Not very well. It's keeps dropping b25 and b26 lte. But it is coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
