Here we see a rare congregation of feral AT&T trucks, grazing in their native habitat behind the dollar store and recycling place. I did not dare stop my car, for your average AT&T truck start

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.

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 :D speeds are good here but overall LTE coverage is lacking :l

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
