That's great news! I wanted to ask, if anyone knows and can help me: I live in Ponce, Villa Paraiso to be precise, it's located in "la carretera 132" very close to Jardines del Caribe (the biggest sector in Ponce) and it's one of the blind spots i mentioned earlier with speed about 25-40 kps. Can anyone tell me which tower is the one i'm connected to from this area? Also, i would like to know about the one in the Plaza del Caribe area, as my college is right in front of it (PUCPR) 'cause it's another blind spot and a place where i really need acces to the internet.

Thanks in advance.

WOW! What's even more confusing is this goes against everything I've read and even tested. Not sure how LTE is working on the stock PRLs.
You arent wrong. We need a new prl. The lte is working right now but we are waiting for the new prl. The info come from inside.

Scary? How so? We are honest and share what we know and our observations.

Ahhh...gotcha. I did send a few people the corrected PRL for PR. They shouldn't have to wait. Unless the inside info means the sites are blocked but their device is specially authorized.

I didn't know all the facts about this apparent "inside" info. I've been wrong before on things before and admitted it (MCC/MNC PRL records for LTE enabling to name one).

Was totally joking ;)

The person who took a speedtest has a normal galaxy nexus with normal prl. Maybe in other areas the sites are blocked but not in carr 30 caguas.

The Galaxy Nexus had no problems connecting to LTE with a foreign PRL. Only my GS3 had problems.

    • 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.
