I could go from five bars to roaming on my S3 in the same area

Does anyone else just suddenly start to roam in a place they usually have a strong signal

I actually would like clarification on a related issue. I seem to remember reading that CMDA had better clarity as an overall system than GSM. But as more cell phones jumped on a CMDA tower, the radius of its usable signal would decrease. Is that true?

Granted lots of work is going on but I think its just heavy traffic in the area on a maxed out system. These towers systems were constructed when 40MB hard drives were standard in PC's. Think of how much we get in emails with a hefty attachment.

"Cell breathing" does affect CDMA1X but not EV-DO Rev A. So, data usage is basically irrelevant.

I've been roaming off and on and frequently the past couple of weeks. Half the time I can't even get a data connection here in Huntsville, Alabama. I used to have great 3G. I wish they'd hurry up with whatever they're doing here. I use data nightly to stream music at work. I had to set my phone by the door for it to get a strong enough signal to barely get internet.

      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

      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.

      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?
