I am not positive about 95%, but ----- last week, my wife was looking for bigger clothing for our growing great granddaughter. I took a little walk to the nearby Sprint store.   I had one rep tell me I should be buying phones with a bigger battery since it would give me longer range from the cell site.   The rep got distracted and another one thought it would be  a good idea to pick up the conversation. He tried to tell me that a Galaxy S-5 did not have LTE capability.   I am beginning to think that employees in Sprint stores have no clue either.  He then decided to argue with me about it.  What he failed to understand was that I owned TWO galaxy S-5's and now own TWO Galaxy S-7's.  I kinda think that I might know more than all the reps in the store. Very Very SAD.,

Sprint store employees are stupid and untrained, sad when I know more about Sprint than they do and the devices they sell. Oh and the network as a whole, you get a blank stare when you start to get a little technical and or get called wrong and told a lie.

Sounds like you have the exact same opinion of them as I do from very similar experiences. If I ever go back to Sprint, I know I will not get service started at a Sprint store, for sure. It must be done online. Not to say every Sprint representative is bad, though there sure are a huge amount of them who make used car salesmen appear like the pope.

I had to replace my htc bolt today due to a problem with the screen. I got the LG G6 and noticed this phone holds onto b41 to much lower levels before I get kicked to b25 or 3g. Normally in this area I would be camping on evdo but I'm sitting on b41 at -125 and still manage ~10/1 Mbps.

Hpue works great. -122 to -125 14.98 down .wow

 

I guess that we have to say it again and again.  HPUE is not increasing your band 41 downlink speeds.

I know just saying what I got at - 125 compare to my note 5 drop at -115 on band 41. Just very surprise that I could get that speed. So I know hpue works in s8.

Yeah, maybe.  But unless you can confirm that HPUE was active at the time, you cannot conclude that it was responsible for not dropping band 41 and holding it down to -125 dBm.  The Galaxy S8 just could be a better RF performer, among many other variables.

I've yet do see any difference with HPUE, a marketing gimmick.

 

No, the sword cuts both ways.  If you cannot confirm if/when HPUE has been active, then you cannot conclude that it has caused no difference.

Fair point, I was expecting to see a difference compared to my Note 5 and I have yet to see any, in fact B41 seems weaker and I am on 3G more often.

So -122 on band 41 .ca 3 is hpue?

 

No, but .ca is the top level domain for Canada.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      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.
