Deval Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 this isn't true. Onc has been down for about 2 weeks now and the site that I reported to forum before it is going on 6 weeks! It came back then went out again shortly after. where is the site? cross street or cascade ID? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transitwatch889 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 where is the site? cross street or cascade ID? 234th st and Broadway is one. University and 181st is another cross street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I believe Sprint officially turned on 8T8R's at her home in Old Mill Basin. Her house is covered by two Sprint sites, two of them are within two blocks of each other. All of them had Band 25 and Band 26 but speeds quickly declined on both because of the 5 apartment buildings in the area. Band 25 was at -75dbm and Band 26 was at -65dbm and speeds capped at around 4Mbps. There was a Clear Band 41 site but it had insufficient backhaul. Speeds capped at around 8Mbps at all times, on and off peak on Band 41. Today I went to her house because she was having a Christmas party, I decided to test the network and I noticed that pings ranged from 27ms to 30ms. This was really low which surprised me. Speeds were about 21Mbps down and 12 up. Initially, I thought it was that they increased backhaul. However, upon checking my engineering screens, I saw that the GCI was similar to the Band 25/26 GCI. Sprint has officially activated all three bands in the Old Mill Basin area of Brooklyn! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paynefanbro Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Went to the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium today. It was a sold out stadium with over 49,000 in attendance. I remember years ago when Clear was building out WiMax they talked about how they had set up numerous sites around the entire stadium to give usable data speeds. My guess is that Sprint/Clear has already upgraded those sites as my experience was spectacular. Verizon's 700MHz network was swamped. One of my friends sent us 3 pictures we took early in the game before everyone arrived and it took until the end of the first quarter for her to receive them. I received the 3 photos within seconds of them being sent which is pretty great and another friend using an iPhone 6 on Verizon's (what I assume is their AWS network) received the photos a few seconds after me. AT&T worked well and held up to their pretty stupid claim of having the strongest LTE signal on average. The kid next to me had full bars and seemed to be cruising along pretty well. Speeds on Clearwire Band 41 were 5Mbps at it's fastest and 350kbps at it's slowest with the average being around 3.6Mbps throughout the whole game. That was great for Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and Google+ with no hiccups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaiahL Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Sprint for the win, always and forever. I can't wait till they get the respect that they rightful deserve. Sent from my shiny new Space Grey iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaiahL Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I have a question. I've gotten B41 a couple times since I got my iPhone 6, my speeds are always slow. 4-5mb on B41. I think that's a little weird, is it because backhaul isn't installed or is it my phone.

Sent from my shiny new Space Grey iPhone 6 using Tapatalk More than likely antiquated Clear microwave backhaul. It's not uncommon. However, I've found fiber backhaul to be way more common in the city than not. Also, you could be part of the reason why it's slow and not know it. The iPhone 6/6+ launch has reduced speeds on Band 41 in some areas though not to the point where it is unusable. Edit: You should probably update your Phones/Devices to say that you own an iPhone 6.

Dkoellerwx Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The iPhone 6/6+ launch has reduced speeds on Band 41 in some areas though not to the point where it is unusable. Edit. Sorry, thought you said the iPhone has reduced speeds, as in the device itself is seeing slower speeds. You mean the iPhone 6 launch has cause speeds in some areas to decrease because more devices are using Band 41. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 What do you mean? Evidence? I haven't seen anyone make that claim before. My speeds in general on Band 41 have declined slightly but not by much and I'm sure that others in this thread would say the same thing too. In my travels speeds used to be 40-50Mbps on average. Now they hover around 30Mbps with a few here and there capable of hitting 60-70Mbps. As I said, it's a little drop that's not noticeable in every day activity but it is if you look at the raw data.

mc_gusto Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Went to Rangers game last night. In section 227 I was getting clear b41. Pulling down 22mbps. My att friend was getting half that. He seemed surprised I was pulling better than him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexgencpu Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I do believe Sprint is doing some sort of artificial throttling on B41 sites. For a short period of time I was averaging btwn 4-8mbs, then they enabled another B41 site and all of a sudden my speeds were back to normal 20-30mbs. Right now my speeds seem capped at about 8mbs only on certain sites. Maybe shared backhaul? Definitely no longer a congested site, so could be optimizations going on. Hopefully MIMO/CA testing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that too... recently when connected to b41 I don't hit over 5 mbps but I used to always hit over 15mbps easily. This happens for both my work place and at home. All clear sites according to SCP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexgencpu Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I thought it was mentioned that Clear sites can't do carrier aggregation.Correct, but they could be playing with backhaul for testing purposes including supplying more bandwidth for CA. Just a thought definitely not a fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
