Maybe he's outside of the city limits. He'll tweet as soon as he's back in town with a data connection.

Looks like Sprint still has a pretty bad image problem. http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2017/01/10/americas-most-hated-companies-sprint.html

Yes they do. Most people I tell that I use Sprint usually gives me a weird look and says Sprint suck. Even though Sprint has improved tremendously over the years most people still don't want to give them a chance.

Alot of people still think their data speeds are slow or that buffering happens. Only really problem is coverage which is a deal breaker to some.

I would somewhat disagree. There is still tons of places where Sprint's LTE speeds are flat out terrible. But it is improving and there image is getting better but they still have a long way to go. Root Verizon won like 112 cities and Sprint only took 9.

If speeds are 0.15mbps then that's true. If it's 10-15 more than 50-100 then it's more than acceptable.

I think 10 is a good sweet spot. I know so many places where sub 1mbps is very much real.

Which band is that usually on?

Don't you live in a 10x10 area? How much B41 is around?

 

Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

No they have not lit the Jacksonville Market yet with 10x10 b25. Out of over 40 towers in my county alone (Marion County) only my home tower has b41 equipment. Everywhere else is 5x5 b25/b26. Lots of other places similar. Thats the point I'm making.

I believe Jacksonville was a place where a spectrum swap happened with either T-Mobile or VZW. I'm not sure on the status of thos. I'm really surprised the doesn't have B41.

The market has some band 41 but very few towers are upgraded. Orlando and Miami markets recieved all of the attention last year. Im hoping Tampa, Jacksonville and the panhandle get it this year.

I was in the Merritt island a couple weekends ago. All B25 10x10, no b41.  Speeds were more than usable. Hope jacksonville will get b25 10x10 at least by midyear.

I'll be in Florida I'm April. So I'll get to see how things are. I've never been anywhere with 10x10.

The update should have started rolling out last night.

Sprint claims my phone (HTC A9) supports it, so fingers crossed.

This look like 3xCA? I forget if it used to have 2 SCC sections or not.

It's that a HTC or LG device?

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
