tybo31316 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 That's exactly why they are using Mini-Macros to push B41 coverage. Much, much cheaper than a full 8T8R upgrade. Sent from my LG G5 I often criticized Sprint for using mini macros and not going full steam with 8t8r. My perception has changed. I guess Sprint has to do what they can to get subscribers and upgrade the network at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengen31 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Eventually. With the current capex it is taking a really long time though. Network vision was done faster than b41 upgrades and that was way more work and money. The problem is Sprint is still paying for Network vision 1.0 so they didn't fund 2.0 as fast as they should have. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk I wish Sprint would have actually let Vzw buy B41. I think it would have been cheaper for Sprint to build out Capacity if they would have bought the B4 vzw uses instead Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL7 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Is it possible that an upgrade to my lowly 5×5 B25 (only site within reach) is being delayed because it's going to make the jump to B41 with 8T8R? :Fingers-crossed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybo31316 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 New 8t8r sighting at the River City Marketplace near the airport. I don't know when the equipment was installed but it's online. It's one of the areas I frequent that had terrible speeds. Hopefully this band 41 addition helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tybo31316 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 After riding around town. There's more band 41 site than I initially thought. Seems like Sprint came back around and added Band 41 to a lot of sites. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't check right now, but here's a picture of Band 41 from Sprint: The light yellow uncannily conforms to my city's boundaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell352 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Just left Florida man band 41 is need. Even 10x10 band 25 not great.Yeah it's not that great here but it's only because the biggest cities have it and even then places like Tallahassee still don't have but a few. Florida is a big state to cover though. LTE coverage on a hole is good just needs capacity which they are doing and faster than usual too.

Consistency even where I live is not too good. But I'm surprised with South Florida though. Especially the Jacksonville Market it seems so good at first.

Sent from my LGLS992 using Tapatalk I have backup networks if Sprint can handle it. I don't know who is going to hold up the best but it will be interesting. I am really prepared. 12 cases of bottled water, 8 jugs, lost count of canned goods, 2 cases of Gatorade, two 30,000 mah battery chargers, flash lights etc. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tybo31316 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I started to evacuate but I looked at the traffic on the roads. There's too much traffic. Plus by the time the storm reaches the Jax area it'll be a Cat 1 storm. I think I can survive. I also have an AT&T backup line and an AT&T iPad.
