So like -90 3G would be -90 LTE?

 

Nope.  Subtract about 20.

So I've been traveling around the US a lot lately and I have yet to pick up a B26 signal and I was wondering if anyone had a list of markets in which sprint has started to or finished deploying 800mhz LTE because I haven't seen any.

B26 is all over in South Carolina.  Its just ok.  I lose LTE quite a bit.  Hoping they beef it up more.

I've been traveling around various cities in Texas and getting 800 quite often but typically was poor results. Here is what SignalCheck shows. In this case I had no data to speak of. Google Maps couldn't even populate its traffic layer. I've also seen it say LTE 800 in SignalCheck also with mixed results as to whether I have data or not. uploadfromtaptalk1437277238428.png

Well that screenshot is only showing 1x800, so it doesn't surprise me that you have "no data to speak of". 1x800 is only made for voice, text, and the smallest amounts of data. It's not a reliable internet connection. What device are you using?

It's the HTC One M9. As strong as that signal was I guess I thought it would at least support the data for Google Maps traffic layer. This is not my area of expertise. Are you saying that I don't even have a 3G connection in that circumstance?

If we're talking technical terms, having a 1x800 connection is *technically* 3G. But as marketed by Sprint, 1x800 is what they call "2G". When you are connected to EV-DO or eHRPD, you have what they market as "3G". So to answer your question, in a technical sense, yes you do have 3G. But in the average-Joe sense, no, you don't.

Ok so no device issues it turns out and I have updated my PRL but still nothing. It's probably a faulty device. My contract is up in August/September so I'll upgrade to an iPhone 6S and hopefully that will be better because I don't really want to replace my current phone considering I will only have it for another 1-2 months. Thanks for all of ur help guys!

      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.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
