derrph Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Not that we’ve seen yet. Ok so as of now the whole Sprint over taking AT&T in download speed can be takin with a grain of salt to some extend.

lilotimz Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Is it not a software/firmware update on the existing 8T8R equipment?It is. Several Nokia / Ericsson land markets have all three active. Software is not finalized and ready for widespread push yet though.

Do you think Sprint will Sprint ahead once they turn on 4x4 mimo & 256qam? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the same will occur for Sprint if they can implement. We have a commitment of early next year. I hope Sprint meets this... It will be awesome. I know it doesn't make much of a difference with Band41 (it will for Band 26 and 25). It will make some (more) difference even on 41 with a HPUE device.

He conveniently forgets to mention how he's sponsored by Qualcomm and has a working relationship with them. People shouldn't take him seriously, unless he's quoting crowd-sourced data. His "laboratory" tests mean nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We took a look inside the Qualcomm iPhone with the help of Ookla's Milan Milanovic. (Note: Ookla is owned by Ziff Davis, PCMag.com's parent company.) Milanovic has a key piece of equipment we don't have in-house, provided by Rohde & Schwarz." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much gear is capable of even doing that for B25/26? I think Sprint has been moving a long great with B41, but not giving any love to their other bands. Being able able to utilize additional LTE technology and have increased power output would go pretty far for B25/26 when one isn't on B41. Especially spectrum starved B25 areas and high capacity sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - if they want local programming. It’s extremely difficult. As not all local channels are owned and operated by the network. And I assume TMO will need to beef up it’s network too.

JonnygATL Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 It's been below freezing the entire time I've been home here in Kentucky. Cold as can be but, hey, I've been getting excellent Sprint band 41 service all over! That should warm the soul! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
