I've noticed this too and I wasn't sure if it was because I'm on Boost infinite with a lower prioritization or with the actual Network itself. Because I have a Boost infinite Sim that's for T-Mobile. And I have a visible esim line so on my s23 ultra it actually switches over to the visible line once the data on my main number which is the Boost infinite over T-Mobile is completely not usable which happens very often when I'm traveling through the subway Network.
-
So I have officially moved over to boost infinite and was also happily surprised I got a T-Mobile SIM as my mom and the line that I opened up prior, got AT&T sims. What I didn't realize is that they had moved n71 carrier from 10 MHz to a full 20 and I'm now seeing that aggregated with 40 MHz of n41 here in the uuper bronx where they don't hold the contiguous sprectrum. But it seems on Boost infinite the prioritization is way lower so I'm not seeing three carrier aggravation between the 2, 40 mhz band 41 carriers and the 20mhz n71. Like I did when I had noticed prior on tmobile proper.
-
I didn't know they had access to 80 MHz of c-band that does change some things then once that's online
-
I've actually been doing the same thing. On my s23 ultra I got the Boost infinite Sim as the physical Sim activated. And I have the electronic Sim activated as well and I switch between depending on location to check speeds and coverage and I'm not dropping my line that's active with T-Mobile at the moment that's for sure and even the speeds along the Metro-North the Boost Sim running over AT&T's network, I've checked are kind of horrendous compared to T-Mobile service. So actually kind of disappointed and AT&T's network which I knew was the case but I didn't know it was that bad.
-
So just sharing that I connected to my home tower in the bx, on carrier n25 at 10mhz and 2 40+40 band 41 carriers just now.
-
Don't know how widespread this is but on my s23 ultra was looking at Network configurations and noticing here in the borough of the bronx. They're doing a 40 + 20 n41 combination and a 40 plus 40 n41 combination.
-
Yeah totes saw that article and I was like! Well damn hahaha there won't be expansion of band 41 then in areas of the Upper Manhattan/Bronx and Westchester then if that is the case otherwise we would have seen it.
-
So I just walked around my neighborhood for the first time in a while and I had a sneaky suspicion. That's been confirmed that they took down the Sprint cell site that was adjacent to the T-Mobile one next building over. Like towers equipment everything gone. So everyone in this neighborhood is on T-Mobile network there is no Sprint equipment at all.
-
I personally would use the Sprint SIM as long as you can. I tried switching over to the T-Mobile one. And I have issues with connecting to band 41 on my s20 ultra. That's simply could be personal to me but I would rather you not have the issue
-
In the early AM when I 1st noticed I hit up to 600 down aggregated with lte on band 41 and 40 mhz of me, so pretty the limit of the backhual currently available so not really missing much till they update the feed to the site.
-
As of today they have expanded to 40mhz of band 41 nr, up from the 20 prior, in upper Manhattan and the BX at least in my hood.
-
Having stand alone access isn't what is cracked up to be when you lose lte to nr carrier aggregate. Switched my sim to R15 recently. Losing sprint in Subway travel blows. As T-Mobile takes longer to catch signal it seems.
-
I will say that I am noticing that with the new deployment and my particular area. That n41 itself will drop off to band 41 LTE or band 12 LTE very quickly. The moment that you turn a corner it's releasing the signal and catching a new sector.
-
So I don't know if they're doing some Network optimizations in my area because of the new tower builds but I keep dropping down to a single channel of either band 12 or band 41. And rolling off nr41 off to nr71 even though the signal is there. It's kind of annoying to constantly see the indicator jump in and out of frequencies. I feel like T-Mobile has too many bands and there's like no priority to which when you lock onto and then drop off to from there.

Figured much. But thanks for the clarification 🙏🏽
