Haha yeah I've got 150mbps symmetrical from Frontier out here in Seattle. Works like a charm - I don't think I've never seen speeds fall below the 150 mark.

Our local PUD offers 1Gbps symmetrical down/up in their FTTH that is strung aerially along many of their power poles around the county. And it's less expensive than Xfinity. But they sadly don't have service in my neighborhood. So I use Comcast Xfinity 150Mbps, which typically runs 160-175Mbps. However, upload is a paltry 25Mbps.

Its finally happened!!!! Sprint overtook Tmobile on Netindex in Manhattan!!     Next...Verizon!!

I was on lunch today at tmobile checking out their plan prices. One of the reps came up and asked what service you on? I said Sprint and she immediately went on this rant on how sprint is slow, ouch

First off. You need to read up a bit more before you start complaining about speeds.Sprints 5x5 has a maximum theoretical output of 37.5mbps DL and ~ 14 mbps UL. The theoretical maximum is the absolut

Altice stated that the plan with Optimum is to be able to deliver 10Gbps to a home but obviously that will be way too expensive and also not really necessary for a home. Optimum's HFC network already delivers fiber to the curb. It's just a matter of wiring fiber from the curb to the premises. This upgrade means a lot for not only residences but also businesses if speeds can reach that high.

*Update*

 

Tunnel furthest to the right heading into NJ has full LTE. Tunnel on the left still 3G (or right if your going into NYC), but i did notice 3G speeds are actually excellent.

So jealous, so sick of my 5 local gmos around central Ohio....

It's is interesting that they only activated one side, and not wait till they could do both!  But positive none the less!

And New Yorkers who regularly claim "subway delay, couldn't call because I was underground" due to perpetual lateness cry in agony...  :lol:

Was in your market the last couple days. The small cells seem to be using the same earfcn as the ones in Ohio, 40072, despite the first and second B41 earfcns being different. So that might be an easy way to distinguish them from the macros.

Alot of the small cells are upgraded to 2xCA so even the engineering screens are iffy. They only tend to display the PCC and not the SCC.

Hmm I didn't think to check NSG, since the ones in Ohio are only a single carrier (at least the LTE backhaul fed ones I checked out are). It's possible it's a new install that isn't 2xCA yet? I'll look through my logs tomorrow and see what earfcns I found for your market. Almost all the B41 was Clearwire lol. This particular site with earfcn 40072 was in Flatbush, I think I saw the antenna on a street light post but didn't take a picture (was very hungover lol), just a screen shot:

Oh wow! 012A GCI is small cell. You found one outside of Manhattan...NICE!

Yes a single carrier small cell is definitely possible. They all started life as single carrier, and their still quite few out there without 2xCA.

 

Also do you have an address where you found this site?

I don't have an exact address, but these are my SCP logs with 012A as the starting GCI (EDIT: Removed due to mangled formatting)

 

I found 4 in Manhattan, and one in Brooklyn. That one has a strongest rsrp of -84 near Prospect Park at Caton Ave and Rugby Rd.

I confirmed a bit over 100 small cells in Manhattan, none in other boroughs, this is definitely promising.

The ones I have in Manhattan are [012A3131], [012A7B31], [012A8D31], and [012A9631]. The first is near Battery Park, and the others were along FDR starting from Midtown down through Battery Park to the tunnel.

Also, Id like to point out, its not only 012A that are small cells, 0129,012D as well..

Oooo, I have one of those too, 0129EA39. Also the same route, so in Manhattan as well. It could be a bug in SCP because I was connected to them so briefly, but [0129EA39] shows an EARFCN of 41474, and [012A8D31] an EARFCN of 41276, which matched up with the regular macro EARFCNs. Like I said though, i was connected to each for only less than a second, so it's likely SCP just logged stale EARFCN data and they're really 40072 like the other small cells.

The GCI with 012A8D31 have 2x CA small cell. It seem that they slow down the 2x CA. All other is still on EARFCN 40072. I mapped all other small cells in cellmapper, if you see 2 cell ids in 1 small cell it mean 2x CA.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      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.

      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.
