They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

So according to sprint customer support... PR will not be included for voLTE.   Anyone can confirm that?  What a shame.. if thats true.
I doubt that

Maybe.. 

Delay I could understand.  One possible reason for delay would be low band implimention. Should be good in the end but I don't know the current status.

Does Sprint have 1x800 there or does CDMA have to rely on their pcs spectrum?

Only LTE matters for VoLTE. 700Mhz iirc, which would also be different for Sprint to handle in setting up VoLTE.

I know I was just curious if they had that or not. I know they have B13 for LTE instead of 26.

Not substantially. Other than possibly playing with TM parameters due to the fact L750 is a 10x10 carrier, there is little to no extra work to be done.

The formerly separate open mobile network is something to take into consideration as well.

I was under the impression that integration was effectively complete. If that's not the case then yes, that could cause delays.

Mixing and matching Samsung and Ericsson macro cells aren't always the smoothest things. Definitely work to do.

Looks like sprint is continuing the upgrade train here on st thomas.  Yesterday I made my first volte call on the island.  Didn't last long though.

I’m near Mayaguez on the island. During 11:00 a.m - 2:00 p.m. the internet gets slow but my question is, the kickstart v2 plan that I have Sprint throttle the speed during congestion time? Beside that all works ok. I’m noticing that B25 have carrier aggregation in many places.

That's actually just 5x5+5x5. Download BW of 25 is 5 MHz. 
I had to go back and look and yes 8615 is 15x15 not 5x5. They want the same one in Floridad20d8a9628e5ad2526da6cd5ff27d193.jpg

[emoji4]. 15x15 @ 8615 includes the G block so it wouldn't be possible to aggregate that with the 8665 G block carrier. 
Sprint got the C block out of the open mobile merger. They just need to use it

      You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.

      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.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.
