This is inside the juvenile detention center. On band 41. Pretty good except the upload.

Quite the difference... I wonder if that tower is one of the few with a 4:1 split.

So it seems that 800 mhz may not be turned on yet till 2015?

800MHz is being fired up right now in Dade County. Had a whole bunch of CDMA 800 acceptances over the weekend.

At the end of the doc it says it has rejected Miami-Dade's request until it can prove that they must take that long and they are applying the appropriate resources to the problem.

I'm surprised it works that way. If the Miami dade PD satisfies the requirements for another extension will sprint just have to shut down 800lte/CDMA on the accepted sites?

Yes. But of sounds like the FCC is starting to get weary. If they end up granting this extension, it will likely be the last time. No one really had been calling Miami-Dade out in the previous extensions. Now Sprint was pretty tough on them. And the FCC is being pretty tough themselves. The FCC referenced they are the last hold out in the country.

 

It's possible they may allow CDMA 800 to go forth if it's channel placement is in a less interfering location, or if Miami-Dade is able to turn off their channels near Sprint's CDMA 800 channel. But the LTE 800 channel is far too wide. But right now the onus is on Miami-Dade per that last document. So they may not get their extension.

Any news on Broward county? Are there any rejections or is everything good to go?

Broward County is clear, but cannot proceed fully with 800MHz until after Miami-Dade is clear too. Because radio signals don't stop at the county line, unfortunately.

Miami-Dade County is so backwards. Today I checked online, and called their 311 service to request information on offloading this motor oil i have from oil changes, and after being told, and going to several places, even as far as the south dade landfill, none took my oil, cause they didn't have storage for it. The south dade landfill was closed only opens Wed-Saturday. Wasted my time, and no one could inform me that it was closed not to waste my time driving..


Either way. FCC needs to lay the iron fist down and get them moving. Maybe even compensate Sprint for delays.

Hello! New to s4gru had a hard time trying to post something hahaha! I just wanted to post a capture for band 26 in Weston, Broward county! Just got it for a minute or so maybe they are working on it!

Welcome. Thanks for posting.

 

Just wanted to clarify that you have a CDMA 800 signal. Which is a 1xRTT signal. Band 26 is an LTE band, for LTE 800. CDMA (1x and EVDO) bands are called Band Class. CDMA 800 is Band Class 10.

 

So 800MHz LTE in the SMR Band is B26 (Band 26). And 800MHz CDMA in the SMR Band is BC10 (Band Class 10).

 

We are glad to see 800MHz starting to be deployed in South Florida after the idiotic and incompetent delays from Miami-Dade failing to clear the band.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
