Hey are you LTE recipients seeing better coverage inside buildings than you did with WiMax?

 

Well this lte buildout is on 1900mhz compared to wimax which is on 2400mhz so penetration will be much better.

I have 1/4 bar on 4G with my 3D inside my house.

 

Now I am getting 4/5 bar on HTC LTE on LTE inside the house.

 

Its different phone though.

 

The Clearwire equipment is likely on a different tower than Sprint is which would help signal strength but also Sprint uses 1900 MHz instead of 2500 MHz which helps for better indoor coverage. Be very happy with 4/5 bars for LTE. You'll get great speeds but remember to try to make WiFi use at home a habit to keep any unnecessary strain off Sprint so we can keep unlimited data longer.

I agree with this whole heartedly.... its easy to sit there and awe at your LTE speedtests on your couch, but for the foreseeable future, please switch to wifi... it would be pretty silly to watch netflix on lte in your house, just cause you can, doesn't mean you should.

      Net Neutrality - take 2

      By radem · Posted

      I would like to see a technical explanation as to how 5G network slicing is supposed to work with Net Neutrality.  My read on this which may be incorrect is that network slicing would only be allowed under net neutrality so long as the slice of the network is a private network but that seems to contradict the ability for the general public to use a public facing app from the app store that will run over the network slice.

      Wireless carrier FWA

      By dkyeager · Posted

      https://www.lightreading.com/fixed-wireless-access/t-mobile-verizon-disclose-fwa-usage-stats I disagree with this article.  AT&T and Verizon have many rural sites without C-Band (or mmWave),  which ultimately are use it or lose it for them due to licensing requirements.  T-Mobile's rural FWA will greatly benefit once Auction 108 licenses are finally awarded.  Thus much growth is left for FWA.  So far the carriers have been going after the low hanging fruit in the suburbs and exburbs.  In those places FWA may ultimately be forced out.  Perhaps by them BEAD money would be better put to use to bury fiber in suburban back yards (or next to the curb).  This assumes that FWA will result in more rural towers given better economics with wireless plus FWA revenue.
