Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

That's cool, but I still am a iPhone fan.

 

Lets get 800 rolled out ASAP!

 

When's 2500mhz being rolled out?

NYC is already full of band 41, clearwire has been actively converting their sites for a while. Someone out there is using a Triband hotspot and probably getting  40mb/s+ on band 41 as we speak.

Waiting on the One Max!

Believe it or not, im thinking of going for the Note 3. I love my HTC ONE, but the metal housing (and maybe other factors) definitely makes the signal a bit weaker than my old GS3. Doing a side by side comparison its always 3-4 dBm stronger than my ONE. Are theyre any confirmed reports of the Max coming to sprint? cause that would add to my list of phones to consider.

I'm not getting 40mb, more like 20ish.

I always did like HTC phones, but my Note 2 I really love and although the signal the Note 2 gets is very good I assume the Note 3 will be the same or better. So once the Note 3 is out and the HTC One Max I am sure between AJ's excellent synopsis, anandtechs' review as well as Lisa' mobiletech reviews I am sure we can get a good feeling as to the devices signal capturing capabilities.

My EVO tends to hold a 3G signal considerably better than my Aunt's GS3. LTE is a different story though. My phone will drop LTE at -126dbm and at other tines it'll drop at -110dbm.

It's amazing how lower manhattan is still a dead zone... Only 3 towers 3G accepted. Amazing... Bayside Queens is still LTE free... Almost at the end of 3rd quarter of 2013.... Amazing...

Im starting to get the feeling that any other backhaul vendor besides Optimum, are taking their sweet ass time! Also read an article about how verizon is giving up on patching up the old copper lines and opting to go all fiber and that could also be causing more delays due to an influx of more work because of Hurricane Sandy.

This is true about Verizon copper lines my area was upgraded to fiber after sandy hit. I have a big ass first box just for a phone line... I use optimum for Internet 55 dollars a month for 50/25mbps (actually more like 59/25)..Actually nd no tax!

I think Optimum is #1 in overdelivering for performance. They are the gold standard in ISP's.

Indeed it is..and no overcharged billing errors like so many fios horror stories I've read online...

gs3 has just better radio i think. it gets 2-3dbm better than my note 2.

Brooklyn has good LTE service. What makes me angry is that there are two towers that I have been watching forever. They got 3G accepted at the beginning on Network Vision but never got 4G accepted ever since. I've watched towers around them get LTE, but never the exact tower that i want.

Which towers were those?

Over WIFI, and signal strength in -80dB, to -90dB.

The general consensus is that you loose quite a bit of performance over Wifi vs USB (20-40%) and generally speaking N wireless radio is limited. Until they start building these things with AC wireless standard (HTC ONE has it and can Blaze at speeds over 300mb/s) But, at that signal strength I expected well over 20mb/s speeds.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
