techcj_manzer Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I noticed on my morning commute, the last GMO site with 3G only in the Tijeras Canyon (Carnuel) is now live with LTE. Now I can actually look forward to VoLTE! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techcj_manzer Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hello all, so when I was exploring N NM, celebrating to finally have data in Toas, Angel Fire, etc. I noticed I was connected to b17 for a good while just NW of Las Vegas, NM . Didn't think much of it for a while until I noticed driving to SLC today, I have been connected to extended LTE on and off all of the way on 550 from Jemez, up to Farmington, and then 191 in Utah from four corners area all the way up to Salt Lake City. I am on my iPhone so not too much I can look up. I mostly am on B17 (EARFCN 5780) and occasionally B2 (EARFCN 1100). I went back to my screenshots and found out I also was connected to 5780 in NM. Is this AT&T? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techcj_manzer Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 This was way N of I70 and I'm pretty sure Comnet doesn't have anything up there, making me think AT&T. Awesome to start seeing it in NM.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk At&t is really the only one with B-17. These days they use MFBI so it's band 12. Phones that support B-17 and 12 are connecting to either one.

Dkoellerwx Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Sprint is starting to receive these notices Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Unfortunately this is not uncommon. Sprint has allowed 3 different rounds of permits to expire in my city, leaving 6 sites still sitting as GMOs. Thankfully LTE is running, but only a single 5x5 carrier, which is overloaded most of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkoellerwx Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 why would sprint let it get like this and take a fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I am not completely sure. I know that the permit fees are basically chump change compared to other costs. And at least in my city, there are no fines if the permit expires. You just have to go through the hassle of re-applying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... the fine would be for allowing the permit to expire. I would imagine this applies to any work permit issued for any reason, not just cell companies.

Dkoellerwx Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 In other news, I'm going to be in ABQ tomorrow - Sunday for a funeral. Flying in tomorrow afternoon, services on Saturday morning. How many sites have B41 on them now? Just curious about the network, haven't been there in a long time, don't think I even had a cell phone last time I was there. Anywhere I should go in the other time I have? Also, is Uber reliable there? I did not rent a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uber is pretty reliable during the day, rush hour traffic can cause you to be waiting while drivers hand you off to each other if your route needs the interstate. Can get pricey, most of the time only UberX available. B41 is on a handful of sites in the city. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't have too much of an issue with traffic at that time. There is a lot of traffic around 3pm till 6pm. Are you flying Southwest by any chance?
