If I'm looking at the right place, I think there are two cell sites nearby there, one that's legacy CLWR B41, and one that is Sprint NV. I'm going to be in Jackson Heights this weekend, and will try to drive by that area.

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 don't know why everyone is so excited about b41. Yes, speeds are great.

 

B26 is what will make sprint a better network, not b41

Once b25 and b26 were loaded you would be praying for b41. It's a tripod. What happens when you kick out the leg of a tripod?

I'd respectfully disagree. Band 26 and Band 41 are of equal importance. Without Band 41, Sprint would have an AT&T debacle with there LTE speeds overall slowly but surely decreasing. Band 41 is the extra capacity and speed that Sprint needs to differentiate itself from its competitors.

If you're deep in a building, yeah B26 will be what you need. But with the new 8T8R Band 41 antennas, and the denser deployment of Band 41 antennas, it will basically cover most of what is already covered by Band 25. That will finally allow Sprint to compete with Verizon and T-Mobiles astronomical speeds. Which is what most people think makes a good network. Whether they're right or not ...

That's definitely a Clear site. SignalCheck recognized it as Band 41.

is not in the clear maps and here wimax never made it. And the site is on the NV maps

WOW, I honestly could not disagree with you more, B41 here in NYC is pretty epic and 100% necessary. Coverage is not a huge concern in most cases in NYC. Also, I sit on B41 about 80% of the time all over the city, and it makes a substantial difference. B41 (especially with 8t8r) will be Sprint's Trump card!

 

Early reports already put 8t8r antenna's coverage at about the same as B25(maybe slightly less) plus NYC site spacing, I fully expect Sprint to demolish every other carrier by this time next year (at least here in NYC)

Damn! I'm slackin! I completely forgot about Sensorly.

I stopped using Sensorly. As an iPhone user I just felt it was pointless, all it did was tell me where the LTE was, I couldn't map it. Hopefully that will change with iOS 8, Apple is opening up their system. [emoji119]

Why is it that you guys always have little to no bars when you all are on B41.

Poor signal penetration indoors. It doesn't really matter though because speeds are still very fast. Between 3 bars and all bars, I max out at around 70Mbps.

one bar of band 41 is better than full bars of band 25

I agree. B25 is over crowded. I still haven't passed 25mbps on it. Can't wait for i6 [emoji119][emoji119]

      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.
