tybo31316 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Verizon and AT&T have performed an upgrade to replace panels on the tower across the street since I asked Sprint about the site in November.I'm pretty sure T-Mobile will come out with Guns blazing installing band 12 once the purchase goes through.

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk You still on Sprint? I still have a Ringplus line for testing but T-Mobile is pretty awesome all around me. I'm keeping an eye out for the B12 sightings as they pop up. Expected to be around August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keeping an eye out for the B12 sightings as they pop up. Expected to be around August.Yes, I'm still on Sprint my kids have T-Mobile on my mother's account. T-Mobile is pretty good. I had to order a wifi cellspot for them to get service inside my home. I'm thinking about switching if they ever run the 2 unl lines for $50ea again. I don't see that happening though. I ended up getting an AT&T iPhone 6 and iPad mini 3 from work so I do have a backup for when Sprint doesn't work.

Terrell352 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'm pretty sure T-Mobile will come out with Guns blazing installing band 12 once the purchase goes through. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Tmobile is very very aggressive with band 4. In Ocala most sites have band 12 but Tmobile does not want you on them. They know that band 4 is the bread and butter. When I am on band 12 it is usually really slow and only slightly better than band 26 in congested areas. I dont have a b12/4 CA phone so it could be better with one. All I know is 20mhz of total spectrum deployed does not fly in 2016. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascertion Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 According to Sprint's LTE coverage map, it looks like Jacksonville just got a lot more LTE Plus enabled. Anyone else agree with the map coverage? I will probably test a few areas in Southern Jax soon with my Ringplus line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really see what band I'm on using SCP since the Marshmallow update. Most of the time I don't have a chance to open up the LTE engineering screen.

tybo31316 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 There was a new tower built behind the GATE Gas Station at the Town Center.

I have yet to see any 2X CA on Clearwire equipment in JAX.I hit 80mbps on a Clearwire B41 site in Orange Park. I don't recall if it was CA or not, though. The Clearwire panels are really bad though. The Sprint (Nokia) ones are a lot better. EDIT: It was across the street from Hungry Howies. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These sites have B41 that are in the middle of nowhere (Terrell pointed out there was a few cow fields with B41 but areas like town center, The Avenues Mall, and other popular spots tend to be on congested B25/B26.

These towers mostly came online in the 3rd and 4th quarters of last year well after the strategy shifted in favor of more congested towers.

Its its colocsted with other carriers and they have 40mhz or more then its probably not the case. If it is a Sprint only site then maybe.

I've been to sites where the shelf that Sprint was on could not support any more panels and RRUs so that happens as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
