I've noticed I've been having difficulty connecting to b26 even when b25 is congested. I assume that means something is being done. I just wish I had a damn phone that supported b41 so I could track the progress here... It can only get better

I feel like I hit the Jackpot... Lol.... I have a high priority ticket open with Sprint Exec care and they forwarded my ticket to the local Ericsson tech. He called me directly. He was so impressed

This has nothing to do with what you pay for. The deployment is nowhere near done in Orlando. The speeds are because half the towers in the city have been upgraded. So 100,000 LTE users are being c

Why is LTE around UCF still so slow??? You would think they would have finished this up by now ! :(

Im not sure tbh. With school starting up soon again, you would've figured that they made getting those few sites done a priority! 60k students incoming. Back to no data speeds LOL.

saturday will probably be my last day on campus for a while, as I'm graduating. Gotta be at CFE bright and early at 7:30am, not gonna enjoy that

Welcome to the UCF Alumni Association, S4GRU Chapter. Don't forget to throw your old freshman year Sprint handset on top of the equipment shelter at the cell tower yard behind the Arena

I may have figured out why I lost b26 and why my signal is always switching around. As I pulled I to my neighborhood I did field test mode and toggled airplane mode on and off. As I drove through the neighborhood, I switched from one site which is not my home site, to another, to another, to another and then to my home site all on b26. Perhaps there is an overlapping issue which might be causing my phone to prefer anything but b26.... They better get to optimizing. If I can pick up 4 different sites on b26, then I should not have issues staying on 800 voice.

Had a surprisingly good B41 experience this morning. I've had consistent B41 with great handoffs all along the 408 and down I-4. Haven't dropped down to B25 or B26 at all. I've logged over ten B41 sites already.

Is anyone else having trouble updating their PRL and Profile? The Sprint rep on Twitter blamed a data outage in the area. Does that make any sense?

You have to have a data connection I think. Whenever I turn cellular data off and try and do a prl update it fails immediately.

Thanks, This is happening with a data connection. It doesn't fail right away, it acts as if it were trying to download and then it shows the error.

Pretty decent speeds on -111 dbm. You never picked up b41 with your m8?

Not once. I used to get heavy BC26 on the M8, which I haven't seen on my G3 yet in the same area. Not sure if that's due to the device, or if it has to do with tower specific upgrades.

Got this outside while walking the dog. That is b26, and its much faster than it was yesterday. Yesterday I could barely break 2 down and the ping was in the 60s. Still no signal in my casa, so I've just accepted that b26 will not improve my reception here. But wifi calling will! Staying positive

Wonder what is taking so long....

 

According to the FCC Doc, they can't decide on what radios to buy....while in the meantime their current radios can be reprogrammed with a firmware upgrade. So they are trying to make them just reprogram their radios in the meantime, but they are dragging their feet. All Sprint can broadcast in South Florida is 1x 800. Cannot do B26....and the PRL i'm on doesn't even use 1x800 unless i push the Premier PRL.

That's ridiculous. Sprint should get on their asses for this crap. Florida has way to high of a population not to have b26 enabled through the entire state.

Miami-Dade originally wanted until January 1, 2015, but Sprint is pushing the FCC to mandate reprogramming by 10/1/2014. I don't see it happening.

      You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      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.

      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.
