My home tower finally went live I'm on Tulare and laspina, not the fastest speeds but a lot better

Awesome! Its better than nothing. Sprint was only ever advertising LTE speeds of 6-8 Mbps to begin with, so its in line.

Well Great that I see Fresno & Tulare to get 4G LTE & still can't see why Bakersfield is still not getting any love. Sad news for the Holiday's. Really need 4G speeds vs this slow Speeds we get with 3G yet I keep seeing them work on towers & still not even a blip of 4G anywhere. I have heard from the new Sprint store the see it come up when in testing the 4G & yet I have yet to see anything pretty sad News for us here in Bakersfield home of 358 thousand people & no love as of yet

Whining isn't going to change the fact that larger cities are harder to launch, especially with the whole ecfsb or whatever it's called thrown into the mix. Fresno, Sacramento (for the most part) and Bakersfield are all pretty much in the same boat. I know Bakersfield has quite a bit of nv hardware up in the air; the same cannot be said for fresno. Bakersfield will launch first, almost without question.

I know you are massively disappointed. The only thing that I think could be causing any delays is backhaul work. Remember, the backhaul providers could be stalling on purpose just to make things difficult. I know BrightHouse is in Bakersfield. Who else?

I am now showing EHRPD instead of CDMA, I am getting this in my neighborhood in Clovis and also along Ashlan in Fresno (east of the 41). That's as far as I've gotten this week.

 

Is this a good sign or still just a prelude to LTE at some point?

 

This started about 2 days ago.

Bright House is the only Cable company for Bakersfield yet as far as the rest of Kern Co there is Verizon up in Lake Isabella & the rest of the out skirts of town so as of anyone else there is no one Bright house bought them all out

No LTE for Bakersfield but do notice that it is faster than before so I there is hope that LTE will come soon

where in Town do you show better 3G anywhere here in town I would Luv to see some of those speeds anywhere I live right off of Stockdale Hwy & No Stine even with my airvana I still get slow speeds rarely do I see anything hit past 1.02mps -1.09mps those speeds are sad & drains my phone way to fast hell it takes 3 mins just to run anything from youtube or facebook on all my lines

At my house here in the outskirts of Sacramento, my consistent speeds might hit 0.50 down, 0.17 up. Your speeds are pretty good for 3G. ;-)

Well that is way better than me I only get those speeds when it is Midnight than I go back down to 0.09-0.23

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
