Why would you waste anymore spectrum for anything over 10mbs? 
It's not a waste when the competition hits higher and Sprint gets complains about slow uploads. Sprint needs faster upload. Does it have to see 50+ no. Up to 35 or so would be nice

That's it? The CA alone should be 18. Since one carrier is 9.

Yes 64qam is raises the limit to 14mbps per carrier. So 28mbps. 4x4 mimo I believe increases it to 36mbps.

Speed test bragging rights mostly. Sprint loses a lot of test because there uploads are way too slow.

If Sprint can manage 3-5mbs at the edge of signal, that should be more than enough. The main issue come mostly from sub 1mb upload speeds. 

But I get it, of course optics matter for marketing purposes.

Or also in times where people do more uploading. Stadium's statefairs and anywhere else with heavy traffic, where people do lots of uploading.

Is that really good enough during times of heavy traffic where people do more uploading?

I mean, no matter the situation, heavy traffic or not. Not a theoretical top upload speed.

Yes.  That's the 3x3 channel being used in Western Washington.

Opposite corner of the block my building is on. Nice to see, just annoying it's not usable yet. Reminds me of old 3G connections and nothing loads unless I'm on WiFi or the phone finds 25 or 41.

How are L800 signal levels compared to L1900 and CDMA?

As I'm staring at the Key Bank building right now, L800 is -73 dbm 31asu. Usually I see mid 90's to low 100's here with 25 and 41.

Yesterday the phone was stuck on B26 most of the day here in Bellevue. Haven't seen it come up once today.

That’s what I’ve observed most of the time when they’re bringing L800 online in the Seattle market. It’ll probably return in a week or two, but optimized and with the correct handoff parameters.
