Then would that explain why speeds are slow or has to be something else I live .04 mile from it yet speeds are good only half the time or not at all depending on the time sometime I get really crappy speeds even at midnight

Backhaul

Well, first of all, Bakersfield sucks. Second of all, Bakersfield launched before Fresno did. Third, Fresno has more sites than Bakersfield does so that's why Fresno has more upgrades. Both cities have sites that are not broadcasting LTE, too.

Yes we did Get LTE before Fresno yet they have 105 upgrades vs our 65 upgrade which does not make since & No Bakersfield does not sux thanx lived here since 87 when I use to live in LA if you look at my past post you will see LTE since February

Fresno has more sites over Bakersfield since Fresno is a bigger city (200,000 more people)

yet With Sprints New CEO he should be fixing the Gaps in Bakersfield I know once Spark hits most of the gaps will fill in & 3G should be gone for those on Spark/LTE devices & 3G will be left to the lower grade phones we shall see I guess

I got 22.10 mbps and 13.75 mbps but since then it's been a total dog with connecting most of the time to 3G. I blame the poor air quality :).

Nice & Band 41 is apart of Spark right because I know in LA speeds are 128 download & 45 upload depending where you are

 Holy Grail!!!..........I know I will have passed on because I don't ever expect to see that in my lifetime!

With Carrier Aggregation we will see peak speeds at that point or higher with the next round of devices.

They have those now in LA

 

No they do not.

 

Sprints 20 mhz TDD-LTE carriers have a 6:3 ratio for a theoretical max of 101/14.7. Carrier Aggregation is for downlink only and not for uplink which means even though one can breach 100 mbps on the DL with a carrier aggregation capable device, which none have yet been released, the uplink still has the same max of 14.7 mbps. 

 

Furthermore carrier aggregation has not been enabled and they're still in the early phases of deploying a 2nd Band 41 carrier.

    • 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.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
