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

i feel like the reason why there are no confirmed 8T8R sites in NYC is that tower spotting is not nearly as easy here as it is in other places. Between the tall buildings and most of the equipment being kinda hidden on rooftops it's hard for us.

I agree its tougher to find specific antennas at any given site, but at the same time, site spacing is quite dense in NYC. So if one site is not within view, move on to the next.

Gotta love Sprint/Clear panel placement here in Astoria... Absolutely ridiculous, blasting straight at the facade in front!

There is a sprint tower that is next to a clear one in 116th and Park Avenue. You can see the tower clearly. The radios are now under the panels.

We have an AT&T sector facing straight at a hillside 100' away. There is nothing on that hill. If you climb up it and face the sector at the same elevation, my phone will run 75Mbps DL all day long. Too bad no customers will ever use it.

 

Since the hill was so close to the tower and taller than the tower, they should have split the three sectors over approximately 300° on the opposite side, thus equally splitting the sectors over the usable area. Pointing one sector completely in an unusable direction was ridiculous. It would have been better just to make it a 2 sector site, even, skipping the hillside.

 

It just goes to show many of these decisions are made in cubicles in far distant office parks and not by local people who know the area. And the installers just follow the plans. Sometimes just shaking their heads as they drive away.

That makes me wonder if Sprint or in your case AT&T even have local offices deciding on the build outs, or all of the decisions come out of Kansas City/Dallas?

That's exactly what I concluded. No local decision making/review at all in those two instances. Stupid.

Probably put in before the hill was ;)

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
