greenbastard Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Speeds are going back up now. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk It's definitely a network issue. Those type of speeds happen on some B41 sites around here as well. This one happened last night where I usually get 80+ Mbps. 2.5 GHz being overloaded is very rare. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybo31316 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Not bad for a Clearwire site. I got 87mbps on my wife's iPhone 6s Plus about two days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overstew Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have seen a few permits for St Johns cty for a Sprint 2.5 lately. About the same rate as T-Mobiles B12 permits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the same rate as T-Mobiles B12 permits.Looks like Sprint has been installing band 41 to a couple sites lately. I saw a few sites that I know for sure is 8t8r. Theres a few more I saw from a distance. When I'm in the area again I'll get closer to see. Hopefully Sprint gets more 2.5 rolled out. There's a major dropoff in speeds going from band 41 to band 25 or 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like once the permit shows up, the upgrade usually takes place within 1 month after the permit is posted/approved. We will see. Their speeds are the only part of the network that needs to be addressed in Jax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen that happen on my AT&T or T-Mobile lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overstew Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 So many permits coming up from all carriers lately. It looks like the site behind Walmart on Phillips Highway is underway an upgrade again (last time it was for Verizon) and only Sprint/VZW is on that site. Maybe they are finally upgrading the Clearwire panels to B41 there? One can hope. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybo31316 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I know this is our Jacksonville thread for Sprint but..... The T-Mobile site that is co-located with Sprint that services my home. Has been upgraded with band 12 gear. It's less than 1 week since install and the equipment is live and on air. Turning my home from a T-Mobile dead zone. Into getting anywhere from -110db to 118db band 12 signal. It's crazy how fast TMobile gets their sites on air versus Sprint. I've spotted several new band 41 installs here in Jax that's still not on air but this brand new T-Mobile install is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Sprint and T-Mobile should switch names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascertion Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Sprint coverage map updated today. I'm seeing a significant boost in LTE plus signal on the map. Anyone able to confirm if there's a large amount of B41 added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
