nexgencpu Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Interesting, was just at JFK last week, didn't notice while in the Uber. Its not easy to latch onto small cells. You have to be almost at a full stop to connect to them. I stopped by a gas station near the airport and connected to it while pumping gas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirskyc Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 https://twitter.com/marceloclaure/status/870759251727273984 Only one Terminal but I guess its relieve the surrounding sites for improvements in the other terminals. I'm still waiting for the DAS in Penn Station to be upgraded. Here's an interesting fact about Penn Station from the Governor's announcement back in September "With more than twice the passengers of all JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark airports combined, the current Penn Station is overcrowded, decrepit, and claustrophobic." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Does anyone know if Sprint switched the downlink:uplink ratio in NYC yet? I've been noticing it in other markets but not here yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexgencpu Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Does anyone know if Sprint switched the downlink:uplink ratio in NYC yet? I've been noticing it in other markets but not here yet.I noticed the same thing, will go out and do some testing tonight. But as of the first of June, no. I was still hitting about 15 up.

nexgencpu Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Looks like the TDD ratio is still unchanged in NYC. Found new small cell by Plimpton ave and Featherbed Lane in the Bronx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexgencpu Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Still waiting on 3xCA and B25-2xCA to spread in the Bronx. Only sites found so far are in and around Yankee stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbastard Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Looks like the TDD ratio is still unchanged in NYC. Found new small cell by Plimpton ave and Featherbed Lane in the Bronx.It was my understanding that changes to the TDD ratio would be done nationwide simultaneously. I guess that may have changed.

ingenium Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 It was my understanding that changes to the TDD ratio would be done nationwide simultaneously. I guess that may have changed.It can be done in markets without neighboring B41 deployments (ie within 100 miles or so, similar to to the ibez). Anything nearby has to be done together to avoid interference. So at the very least it'll be market by market, but more likely region by region.

Paynefanbro Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 This is not Sprint related but my internet from Optimum was going in and out for the past few days. I just ran a speed test and got 127Mbps which surprised me because I had a 60Mbps internet speed cap. It turns out Optimum's base internet tier is at 60Mbps now (up form 25Mbps) and they provide speeds as high as 400Mbps (I think it used to be 300Mbps max). So I got bumped up a tier for free. This is like the third time, they've done this in the past 5 years. Thanks Altice/Optimum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirskyc Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk From my experience most of the subway stations have both B25 carriers and B26. A select few have B41. Mostly the bigger stations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 59th street has had B41 since launch, about 8 or 9 months ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaigekiNYC Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Now I see that they change the small cell frequency to EARFCN 39965. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexgencpu Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Now I see that they change the small cell frequency to EARFCN 39965.New small cell by Tremont and Webster, also noticed the same EARFCN change in the Bronx accompanied by completely new GCI's for small cells.

Paynefanbro Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 It's amazing how empty EVDO is now after all these years. When I first joined Sprint EVDO would give me 10kbps with a 1,000ms+ ping. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I found a new mini macro site in my neighborhood. I'm not sure if it's a completely new deployment or if it replaced Clear equipment. Either way it's good to see movement on macro sites even in mature markets like NYC. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also noticed after the EARFCN and GCI change on small cells the sites with slower backhaul are a ton more usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deval Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Is 10x10 possible on the B block? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Not enough spectrum open at the moment. Sprint has 15mhz in PCS-B, but most of that is tied up with voice and EVDO carriers, with a small 5mhz portion cut out down the center if I'm not mistaken.
