They are starting the ABQ market with the site next to my house. I just ran into subcontractors for Ericsson who are starting to upgrade my site in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. Unbelievable!!!

OK. I've now uploaded pics. I talked with the guys there. They are electricians hired by SBA. SBA is subcontracted to Ericsson. They are here to install the RRU's only today. My site here did no

Also, here's a quick speed test while I stopped to pick my dinner up @ Uptown     Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another thing I wanted to point out in the thread. Sprint has expanded LTE into Ruidoso NM. It's looks to be live good stretch of highway 70 and inner mountain of gods now has full LTE .. haven't seen anyone report that

I got that last week. Forgot to post it. It was not there the week before when I went up. I also got 1X800 SMR. That was a first also. I will be up there again in a week or two to run some speed test.

Wonder why the site isn't doing 3xca yet. It's a full 8T8R site

These screenshots do not verify whether its active at the site level or not...

 

Samsung devices disable 2nd and 3rd carriers when session is idle...

I was in Las Cruces this weekend and the network experience increased significantly from the last time I was there in early June, even though they only have one B25 carrier. Everywhere in the city that I went to the network was great. I didn't take any engineering screenshots though.

You might be right. I'll check the logs and compare to previous EARFCNs for Las Cruces unless someone beats me to it.

I thought Sprint only had 15 MHz (7.5 + 7.5) of original PCS (A-F) spectrum in Las Cruces? Or maybe that was in Deming/Lordsburg...I can't remember. One of those towns along I-10 was definitely spectrum starved.

I don't have my NM spreadsheet but I'm positive it's LC. Only one B25 carrier is possible. Sprint does have 140 MHz of EBS/ERS there.

Well, from a post in "The Wall" about VZW & TM spectrum swap I gathered that it has 20 MHz of C block allocated for Sprint and the usual 10 MHz G block for a total of 30 MHz in Las Cruces.

I know 2xca is live on b25 , but I never got speeds that fast on b25 during this time of the day . Any ideas

Considering that upload with that download, most definitely 2xCA B25

Yup , but the download doubled from the speeds I used to see in this area . Coming from this site 108ae2f4b9c1f3f67c4fbfefe170c4f5.jpg

I was in this area with the galaxy s8 on both occasions ... last time I couldn't get passed 30mbps, now I hit almost 60

1) I’ve noticed sometimes certain servers in ABQ wont correctly show CA on ookla’s speedtest.

2) Certain sites in ABQ had 2nd carrier weeks before CA started working.

Some things that could be happening in your case

Is it possible that B41 is taking some of the load now, freeing up more room on B25? If a nearby site now has B41 active and is freeing up room on that site, it could definitely result in a speed boost like that.

 

Also, was CA active the last time you were there and couldn't get pass 30? If you were getting nearly 30 on a single carrier, doubling that with CA would get you near 60.

Spotted this at the football stadium by utep ... any ideas if this is a sprint site .. all other carrier already have towers set up ?

Is this pointed towards the West or South??? Because it sure looks that way by the position of the lights. I wonder if they are hoping the hills block the signal from going right into Juarez.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.
