Terrell352 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Are those the only towers with B41? University Ave is the only place I've seen B41 in Gainesville.I can't say for sure but it's very likely.

1dante Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Just got 83.52 down and 10.17 up in front of the UF football stadium on University ave. By far the fasted I've gotten since I noticed B41 was active there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far the fasted I've gotten since I noticed B41 was active there.You can see the potential Sprint has. With this and 10x10 or 15x15 b25 they could be great. They are just so ridiculously slow with rolling it out. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1dante Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Exactly. It's tempting not to switch to VZW next month when I pay my phone off. Just trying to hold on because I've had sprint since I was 17 lol. VZW is only tempting because of unlimited and I would then be able to get full service when I'm back home visiting in Live Oak. She doesn't have internet because of where she lives so no wifi for me there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascertion Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hey guys. I'm back on Sprint (well, I took advantage of the free year w/ a spare number.) It looks like Sprint still has some speed issues (from initial observation downtown.) And that B41 seems to be majorly Clearwire still. Will keep a look out. My max test downtown has been 7mbps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this market is only 34% done with b41 so it's not going to be great. B25 has more potential at this point. 15x15 with 4x4 MIMO and 256 qam will make it 300 mbps limit. Easier to do too.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk After 120 days (when I can use an upgrade on this plan), I'll probably pick up the G6 for that heavy discount. We'll see if that sale is still available then lol. Nexus 5x can pick up 10x10 B25, but I don't think it has 256 QAM capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tybo31316 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Just spotted a possible Band 41 8t8r install. On i95 near Baptist Hospital Downtown. If your traveling northbound just after passing Baptist and Nemours. It's on the roof of the Great Expressions Dental building. I think the building also has the letters GHG on the top. It's always been a Sprint Band 25/26 site. It now has 3 new panels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybo31316 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Another upgrade near 295 and i10 interchange. I can't tell if it's an 8t8r or a mini macro though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybo31316 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Another 3xCA sighting. Either this site has a lot of traffic at 4pm on a Friday or the backhaul hasn't been adjusted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascertion Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Sprint activated 10x10 B25 at my house. Pretty impressed. This is on the Nexus 5x. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
