Network Vision/LTE - Jacksonville Market (including Gainesville/St. Augustine/Ocala)

Not here dude band 26 drops off to quickly. I've noticed that T-Mobile band 4 travels further than band 26 in my testing. Sprint needs to optimize this market more.

St Augustine was like that when I went there 2 weeks ago. Tmobile b4 was about the same as Sprint b26. It's not like that in my city or further down south. Jacksonville market feels like it has been abandoned.

Honestly at this point the only reason I'm with Sprint is because I'm on a maxed out Framily with unlimited data. Whenever U-Verse starts offering service in my neighborhood. I'm dumping Sprint and Comcast for AT&T.

Yeah I know it feels good to have such a low rate. Framily could have been a great thing. I think it was ahead of its time.

I'm not the main account holder. I believe Carythelabelguy is.

Wow talk about strange timing. So my home site was the last tower in the entire county to get lte and now its the first tower to get nokia equipment. Seen this happening today. Funny because my tower is the second most congested in the county but damn man finally some capacity relief is on the way. fc03aaf6775a4b0886a22516d020ab21.jpgf24b006f2a635c7282ee052c55c9dbaa.jpg

In florida band 26 is extremely common and in many cases already congested and b41 is surprisingly sparse.

Here where I m from there are huge 3G holes and only one spark tower in town and the rest are dual band 25 /26 I was in Florida not to long ago and coverage was great but speed was the issue

Thats correct its hard to find a tower in florida without b25/26 but very easy to find a tower without b41 thus capacity issues are all over the place. The band 25 spectrum swap will solve a lot of problems when ever it is cleared.

Former Alcatel lucent up here I think Nokia took it over

They did which is why they haven't picked up the pace in the southeast region.

Up here it has stopped and is it possible for a bundled T1 connection to provide a 2 megabit connection to a busy tower on CDMA

Hmm then that GMO near me has fiber

 

Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk

GMO and GMR sites can have fiber. In my city we have 2 GMR sites but I have yet to ever see a GMO anywhere.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No specific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
