Yes, it does. I can finally get on Instagram near the mall and actually be able to load and watch videos. It makes a HUGE difference.

Let's see that speed test!

Jacksonville is now showing as an official Spark market!   (Not that anyone needed to tell you that Band 41 was around )

Just tried out T-Mobile for laughs (Test Drive, which is a kind of cool attraction.)  Anyways, I've come to the conclusion that Sprint is better here, coverage-wise.  I'd rather have a reliable method

I'm safe. Sprint holding up well. 4.5 million without power. The eye of the storm coming straight for Marion county with 100mph winds. I hope I have a home to go to when this is over.

All my speedtest on 10x10 sites are relatively low. Maybe the sites are under heavy load when I'm testing.

I rarely see one over 10mbps in daylight but a lot of them are 5 mbps.

Still better than less than 1mbps like I've been getting for the past 2 years. Idk what happened back then but before that bad storm I could always get at least 8-10 down. This is the best it's been since then.

It's usually a cluster launch. I wonder how wide spread it is.

YouTube TV is now available in Orlando Melborne and Daytona and Miami stations. Lucky for me Ocala is apart of Orlando and Daytona stations

I tried using DIRECTV now for a year and toward the end it really started acting up. After I canceled I found out their app was having issues with the Fire tv stick.

 

I ended up signing with ATT for tv and fiber internet.

Direct tv now would be a good option if it had dvr

Got to my girls place and unfortunately I'm still on B26 over here which is literally right by I75. Oh well she has wifi. Still was on B25 10x10 when I entered the complex but at her building it's very slow B26.

B26 CA is necessary.

No B41? If there was that spot would likely qualify for the magicbox.

Gainesville only has 2 band 41 towers in the county. Just like Ocala only has 1. Way behind in North Florida.

I think what he is confusing is CA is not possible currently on 2 sub 1GHz carriers.  You can aggregate low band with a mid or high band carrier, but not two low band carriers together.

That's interesting, I figured eventually T-mobile would aggregate 600+700, but i guess that's not really possible.

Your confusing CA and MIMO. MIMO on low band is extremely difficult due to the size of equipment it would require.

Difficult? Yes. Impossible? No.

 

T-Mobile has a 4x4 MIMO deployed on their 700 MHz LTE on many sites across my market (dual antennas and RRUs). Additionally, high order MIMO lowband antennas are becoming more and more compact. CCI builds a really nice 8x8 midband and 4x4 lowband antenna that is only about 6 x 2 x 0.5 ft.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
