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

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

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.

    • Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!
    • I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip
    • Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]
    • Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
