Yep. 2/4/5/12 (and maybe 17) are in there for roaming purposes. If you want to prioritize that I'd probably say 4>2>5>12/17.

Nope.  12 was the only non-Sprint band listed in my phone, which is interesting because the phone itself is compatible with every LTE band currently used in the US.  And while on that thought, I don't think I've ever roamed in LTE for some reason.  I do head out into the boondocks occasionally and usually I roam on 3G only.

The complaints in this thread need to stop. They violate posting rules, as S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints.   Several of you should consider becoming sponsors, thus having access to our Netwo

I confirmed GMO band 25 LTE on a site in Myrtle market last night. Finally.

I know a lot of areas around here in the Upstate are Roaming on AT&T now for LTE which this is a new thing happening I know I used it for a bit it did not count against my roaming data pool it's better than Verizon 1x roaming which sometimes never worked highest I hit in AT&T roaming has been 1mbps down which to me is better than nothing at least usable

Someone else with more expertise regarding android might be able to chime in, but I think that if you call Sprint and get your MSL code, you can change band priority on your phone…

 

 

Yeah it's in there but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't it will still connect to 25 regardless what u set 26 as 1 and 25 as 2

"Band Priority" does NOT affect which bands you are more likely to connect to. It changes the scanning order. If you set B25 as 1, it will scan B25 first. Once you are connected to the network, Band Priority no longer does anything, as the network determines which band you are best suited to connect to based on the information your device is able to report back.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. I am an iPhone user so this is not my area of expertise.

Ah ok. It just sucks that the network consistantly selects the wrong network at my office.

So I wonder how Sprint will roll out 41 in SC start with Major areas first like Columbia Greenville/Spartanburg/Anderson I mean Anderson would be fine if we had 10Mhz band 25 but seeing 41 would be awesome I mean anyone in here in the GSP area seen some 41?

Next time you're transiting I-26, stop for lunch in the harbison area. Solid band 41. I've been getting 30-50 Mbps speeds, which blows anything I've ever seen on Bands 25 or 26 away.

Just a follow up on my B41 in Columbia I was only attached to 2 sites that SCP did not guess a band that fit the nokia mini macro B41 style. Both were near exit 9 I-77 one picked up 3 sectors so pretty sure about where that is and the other is just one sector so it would be a guess to where it would be. The different GCI for each sector makes it a pain to be sure though. It goes from 022A0731 to 022A3532 meaning there may be up to 10 sites live in the market some where to fill in the missing GCI.

Good to know I haven't been to Downtown Anderson for about going tomorrow anyone seen any band 41 around Greenville/Spartanburg areas yet?

Check out the Harbison area.  Definitely some Band 41 active in that area.

About average all around Anderson SC now it has gotten worse over the months come on Sprint 5Mhz on B26 and 25 is not cutting it give us at least 10mhz

B25 it's possible weither they have contiguous or if they don't then CA 25. Does the area your talking about have a 2nd B25 5x5? Unfortunately Sprint doesn't have the holdings for 10x10 on B26. I wish they did.

Only 1 carrier B25 5x5 so it's pretty congested

Dam I thought Sprint was doing that everywhere. Unless the area doesn't have enough to do it?

We have enough spectrum in SC for 2 carriers. Why they will not update the software side, on equipment built in 2012 and installed in 2014 I have no idea.

Unless they have contigous holdings and are waiting on a update.

I haven't seen any Band 41 in Greenville. My wife and I were on Woodruff Road Shopping today and she complained that the internet was slow on her iPhone 7. I would be surprised if Greenville doesn't get band 41 this fiscal year. I have also been to Clemson Blvd in Anderson and y'all need it badly. Basically, unusable. If Sprint could just deployed it in congested areas that would be enough. I get pretty good speeds in the suburban areas around the Upstate.

Yeah Clemson Blvd and ever Downtown Clemson is nothing but Timeouts I did a speed test in Clemson I couldn't even get a complete but knock it down to 3G u get around 1mbps lol what I usually do in those areas and we need it bad but out laying areas are fine

I did not see any B41 in the Lexington area of Columbia north to the east side of Lake Murray.  I did see another possible tower in the Hollywood Hills area north Columbia(022A2831/022A2932). I also picked up 022A3431 going up US-21 which is a good distance from where I found 022A3532 which was between I-77 exit 10 and exit 9. The PCIs are one off so strong connection that they are one site somewhere covering at least 3 miles in each direction(~6.8 miles in between the two points).

 

 

So I have 022A0731/022A0832/022A0933, 022A2831/022A2932, 022A3431/022A3532 so at least 3 sites in my logs so far.

I know the last update to Sensorly got IPhone mapping (finally apple must let them have access to the Phone API) 9b841fbd464b52a0a0a6bb04a5708a33.png

 

Been mapping the area around here starting to look good used to be blank on LTE around this area

Sensorly has been out forever but it used to not be able to map trips using IPhone but now apparently it can since it has access to the API for signal strength and type

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
