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'

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.

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.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      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.
