Great to Hear That Fresno got LTE any more News on when Bakersfield gets to get 100% LTE getting tired of hitting to many pockets that have 3G or no internet thanx also any News if Spark will come here as well if so When I understand the New CEO is looking into doing just that just want to know how fast

The timeline for Band 41 LTE in Bakersfield is unknown. If you go tower spotting and find Samsung 8T8R antennae and RRU's, please take pics and let us know, because any active permits will be built up.

well just got off the phone with Sprint because my speeds have dropped very badly & I was told a tower off of Kroll way has been down since the 15th & it will take until the 18th of next month to fix it also was told that the tower off of Stockdale hwy is being upgraded in the next 2-3 weeks for 1x800 & 2500 lets hope it gets done quickly & get Spark to start here

Kind of a moot point now, but the downtown site at Fresno/Van Ness does have new hardware.

 

I'm curious to see if the site at Ashlan/DeWolf is 3G accepted because the permit for that one is 3-4 months out from issuance.

I called Sprint yesterday and the day before because my mobile broadband took a dump.  What they told me is that the towers downtown are being worked on and that I should anticipate 3 days to 1 month of spotty service.  1 MONTH?!?  Needless to say that me and my Sierra Wireless Aircard 595U were not impressed.  Why do I have that old beast of a card?  Because I have a 59.99 unlimited data plan that no longer exists and they refuse to let me change it without a new plan, haha.

    • 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.
