And there it is 41x3 but looks like there just testing it comes on and off not even enough to do a speed test

 

It's most likely because you have a CA capable device. Every time your phone starts a data session, it queries for CA, and since CA is not active yet on the 3rd carrier, your device pushes you back to the 1st and 2nd carriers so it can use CA.

I was in Yosemite last week, and places where I would get roaming data no longer worked. I could send texts but access zero data.

 

Any idea what changed?

It's a growing trend nationwide for Sprint users when roaming on Verizon. Some users on this board have seen the same thing. Calls and SMS are fine, but no data while on Verizon. I haven't been able to establish a data connection on Verizon in East Texas since last fall.

Is this being discussed in any thread in particular?

No. Just random posts by users pointing it out.

 

For example, see some of the latest posts on the HTC 10 thread for other people seeing the same thing you're seeing. If I had to take a wild guess, this is a Verizon issue that will likely never be fixed. They have no incentive to fix this issue since they are moving on to VoLTE.

I'm still wondering what Sprint was thinking when they did all of the GMR builds in Fresno.

 

GMR's not the worst thing in the world, at least B25 and B26 are still a possibility. GMOs on the other hand, limited B25 (most don't have it) and no B26.

Heh. Remember there was a time (before LTE) when data in Fresno was basically useless. Back then we were happy with any upgrade! Right now I just wish all Sprint towers had band 41.

 

Question. Does anyone know Sprint's local 1900MHz spectrum licenses? Any possibility for 10x10 band 25?

Nope. No chance at all unless they do a convoluted swap with att and Verizon. Verizon would get nothing out of such a deal and without Verizon interested att would have no incentive to swap.

 

Tmobile and att are the king of PCS spectrum out west and they've long ago realigned their PCS spectrum for maximum continuity.

Darn - it would have been real nice to have. Assuming I searched the FCC's site correctly, it seems like they own the 15x15 PCS A block in this part of the country. That's a huge chunk of spectrum... any predictions as to how soon it'll get refarmed? 

 

Maybe once they're allowed to run 800MHz LTE all over this market they can shut down EvDO and roll out 10x10 LTE on it and leave 5x5 for CDMA voice? I just hate seeing such a large chunk of spectrum being wasted on inefficient, outdated technology that nobody uses anymore...  :(

They only own 20 MHz of A block up yonder. 10 MHz of it was long ago disagregated and sold mainly to ATT who now uses it for their 15x15 / 20x20 Band 2 LTE.

 

 Southern California still has the original 30 MHz A block of which 10 MHz are refarmed to a 5 MHz FDD B25 carrier with the rest allocated to 5-6 x 1.25 MHz CDMA carriers of the EVDO or 1x variety. 

 

Also in the you must search for licensing down to the county / mta - bta level to get the true amount of spectrum licensed.

Just wait 4G will be gone shortly beacuse 5G is going to be installed pretty killer speeds they just did in London for the US speeds are 19.2 GB to 23.1 GB so we are on the waiting game again as sad as that is

    • 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.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
