They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

Yes... Sprint LTE speed in most parts of PR is a joke.

My girlfriend has Tmobile and in term of speeds, tmobile destroys Sprint.

 

Here is a speedtest from

Tmobile (Aguadilla). Took the speedtest today near Puente La Victoria 329cf69f77072bc3b772fcd495d8ac70.jpg

This was in Aguadilla marina Sunday on my G4 which is only 2xCA. I forgot to change the server but still a big improvement over B25. Hopefully they speed up the upgrades on the rest of the towers.

Thats Sprint? What place in mayaguez? Do you now what tower you were connected? I would like to test that, im leaving sprint soon but that could give me hope to stay.

That was near the street that goes to Hospital Bella Vista. Near the Balboa electronic shop. Also the same tower covers the Plantillas Mayaguezanas factory.

Doesn't Sprint have a good amount of B41 by now. Wait until they also put the open mobile spectrum to use. Their Galaxy S8 also Supports B13 so hopefully Sprint uses that. With the right amount of towers, 3xca B41 15x15 or 20x20 B25 and, 10x10 B13 there Sprint could kick ass.

I went to Mayaguez near Plaza Colon and got a test of 68 down and 10 up, cell id 258 on b41. That give me enough hope to stay in sprint a little longer. Now need that b41 roll out faster in other towers.

Once Sprint upgrades from open Mobile there they should do way better. B41 and, I've heard they got 30 MHz of C block PC's. If that is all contiguous​ then along with the G block they could do 20x20 B25.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      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.
