There's several site updates I know some of you have been asking about. I can't disclose them here but they will be posted in the maps and spreadsheets accessible in the Premier forum. It is a shameless plug for sponsorship.

Right

 

If the phone does band 26, but doesnt do 2500/2600 - it won't work - because (?).......... the 800 LTE is only boradcast in tandem with the other 2 bands ?  Is this a close assumption on my part ?

No, your iPhone 5s/c will work with the newly accepted LTE 800 in the market.

Negative! Devices capable of 800 LTE and 1900 LTE. Such as the Galaxy S3, perfectly capable. 

GS3 with 800 LTE!??

 

Uhhhhhhmmmm. Don't mind amc. He has been living too close to the powerlines. :lol:

I WAS WRONG! K??! Confused 800 LTE and 1X. It's all those new B26 protons making their travels over the dead Sprint triangle zone place. It's all Ericsson's fault! I need 8t8r to level me out.

I don't blame you.  I blame the melancholy ferret people.  You can't trust those bastards!!!

Harrowing ride for a bit yesterday in Chillicothe, but technically we are launched!!

 

 

It will take a while for the LTE (Band 25) work to complete, as each site is tuned.  Band 26 LTE 800 work is now rolling in large parts of our market, new Sprint Band 41 LTE 2600 it also being installed in large parts of our market, Clear sites are also being upgraded.  Band 26 LTE 800 provides better range, better building penetration, better reach in low spots, and offloads band 25 LTE for increased LTE capacity. Band 41 LTE 2600 provides amazing speed, sometimes better than what Time Warner Cable or AT&T U-verse provide at their maximum speeds in this market. Be smart and get a triband  smartphone if you can at all afford it in this market.  Details on all of this in our Sponsor and Premier forums.

 

Sprint:  :thx::urock:

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
