Nextel49 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 On my way to LAX today I saw B26 right before Valencia was on for about 2 mins then before I could screen shot it went to B41 & B25 really fast really hope to see it come before summer in Bakersfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volaris Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Spotted band 26 in Visalia on Mooney!! http://i.imgur.com/icCMOZh.png Only had it for about a minute, tried holding it in a safe and a fridge and but couldn't get it to connect again. Edit: forgot an r That's great to see! Best way to test is if you know any area covered by that tower that only had 3G before, then it might connect to band 26 again.

AzureDistance Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Mooney and what? (Walnut, Caldwell?) In the Sprint store lol, so Cameron. I'm an employee, I got excited since our maps don't show band 26 here and I saw it briefly this morning, couldnt connect again all day so they're probably just testing. Hope it happens soon though speeds are good here but overall LTE coverage is lacking :l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonbrian Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Dont get your hopes up on band 26 it takes sprint forever to optimize it for coverage . Most time same coverage as band 25 in most markets i visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureDistance Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hmm, unfortunate. Will be nice indoors though. Kind of a shower thought, band 26 towers have to be tuned so they're not overlapping and interfering, right? band 41 CA requires multiple carriers on band 41 on or around the same tower. Why is it bad if band 26 towers are overlapping? Is it different because they're a lower frequency or because they're not bein. aggregated?

Aggregated band 41 carriers are on different frequencies. 800mhz is all on 1 frequency. Same frequency + same frequency = interference.

Mikeclar Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Still spotty but way better than it was, have lte almost everywhere outdoors but indoors is still pretty iffy. (quick summary of Fresno). I personally haven't noticed much work going on either. I don't think much has been done in the last six months or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextel49 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I got B26 here as well only on 1 tower on Truxtun I was at Camelot Park I even had to call Sprint to figure why we don't have more & they tell me there are non working or even on maybe it was a fluke I then I had to get them to understand I understand more than they think oh well always the hurry up & wait game for us here in Bakersfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loony559 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Speeds are better then 3G. 3G was pulling about .02 mbs now on lte its about 5mbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volaris Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 There is finally lte here in corcoran just started a few days ago Speeds are better then 3G. 3G was pulling about .02 mbs now on lte its about 5mbs That's great to see! I recall a few times when I've passed on 43 I'd even have trouble sending short video clips on Messenger or switching music streaming stations, so it's great to see that they finally have LTE. It's also great to see they decided to launch 800MHz LTE from the start considering it's so far out from other cell sites. Hopefully they're planning on lighting up 2.5GHz to handle the influx of new Sprint/Boost customers once the word gets out that usable data is back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loony559 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yes it is good to see and im also hoping that 2.5ghz will be up soon all we need here now is B41 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextel49 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 We have one official tower running B26 yet no idea why the Speeds are slow it is Crazy would like it to have better Speeds with B41 being the Fastest & Strongest tower I think is on Truxtun yet the apps can't give me an exact tower anyone know where it is lit up at?

Volaris Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 We have one official tower running B26 yet no idea why the Speeds are slow it is Crazy would like it to have better Speeds with B41 Band 26 isn't fast especially if the tower lacks band 41. It's just 5x5 so it's not uncommon for B26/B25 to both get congested during busy times without B41. Once B41 is added, B25/26 speeds significantly improve since it unloads a lot of users to faster B41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once B41 is added, B25/26 speeds significantly improve since it unloads a lot of users to faster B41.Sometimes. Sprint is known to install and fire up B26 without tweaking its load balancing. As a result you and every triband Sprint phone will be using B26 most of the time unless you're really close to the tower. Houston was one of the first markets to get B26 and B41, but even til this day there are still load balancing issues. I'm assuming once Clearwire Equipment is decommissioned, Sprint will focus on network management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeclar Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 not very, I've only seen it for brief times on the north end of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
