Well I only use Sprint B41 when I go to my girlfriend house at Mayaguez. Yesterday I got 78.9 mb download. I noticed on the Signal checker app that there is a number near the band name like this. Sprint B41(3). But now at my house in Aguada only b25. I can see the tower from my window. The tower near the cementerio Los Rozales.

Well if things are picking up again in PR then hopefully the VI will be right around the corner with some band 41 love.

Sprint needs to work on their upload speeds.

I know near sultana and in hormigueros near my work are a couple of antenas with VERY GOOD LOCATION to do some B41 upgrades!!!

People having been saying lately in other forums Sprint should have done FDD instead of TDD. I'm starting to agree. With their holdings FDD will give them a theoretical 75 upload on one 20x20 carrier

Sprint is opting to do upload CA sometime down the road. As of right now, 75Mbps upload is not necessary on a mobile device. Sprint opting to do TDD-LTE allows them to adjust for better upload or download speeds down the road if they want to. 

 

It also helps that China Mobile and Softbank are using Band 41 too.

I know all that however I've seen 75 upload on the other carriers. The S8 Supports upload CA but, that's only 35 or so. I'm not bashing Sprint. Just a thought.

So you would live in a society of having only 1 option versus many options? Short sighted enough??

That would not have been doable because Sprint's BRS/EBS spectrum is not paired. Additionally, Sprint can adjust their B41's time configuration to be more generous uploads at any time. They are choosing not to because they don't see the need to.

Ok. I wasn't totally sure if they could or not. The people making these claims they can also Claim their lieing about VOLTE fallback. Their most likely TMobile cheerleaders.

    • 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.
