tyroned3222 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just wanted to give you guys an update: calling plus works great and it's holding on to an LTE signal like I have never seen before. Calls do drop when the phone drops to 3G Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyroned3222 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Some good speeds in Albuquerque. How many sites are live with band 41 as of now ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techcj_manzer Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Some good speeds in Albuquerque. How many sites are live with band 41 as of now ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I’d say 8-10.

I'm hoping more like 8 to 10 site upgrades per quarter .. doing 8 to 10 year, will take us forever to get to a decent completion percentage.

jroepcke51 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The site is on top of the New Mexico Bank & Trust building behind them. Robert I work downtown in the Sunshine Building and definitely don't get those speeds. However, with band 25 CA and 2 carriers of band 41, phone is useable all day no issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroepcke51 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 What are the speed you see around 10 to 20 Mbps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The site at the NM Bank and Trust is a 8T8R but is not running CA. I get between 5 to 10 Mbs. If I am connected to Band 25 with CA, I can reach 40 to 50. However, downtown I believe Sprint wants everyone on Band 41. I think the site they connected to is either I40 and 12th or the Hotel Albuquerque sites which are Mini Macros that have CA enabled. I have seen speeds that high when connected to those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice improvement! I hope they can do 5 to 10 upgrades a Quarter starting next year.. if not it will take a long time for our markets to get to 70% or so completion rate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyroned3222 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Also another negative.. if anyone knows , why it takes them 2 to 3 months to turn on a band 41 site ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyroned3222 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The Mini-Macro is the smaller box above the larger PCS RRUThanks for the info ! Phone seems to have hard time connecting to b41. It like to still choose band 25 as primary. Could this be because of ongoing optimization ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
