Network Vision/LTE - San Diego Market

I picked up B41 over at the Westfield Mall in North Carlsbad/South Oceanside border. I got onto the 78 freeway heading East, and held on for a good while losing signal when I got close to College Blvd. I also noticed picking up a -77 dBm B41 signal as soon as I merged onto the 78 freeway. Below is what I was surprised to see while sitting at a stop light leaving the mall.

800 MHz update

State Department Pressure

 

In that letter, they noted that 800 MHz rebanding is essentially done but there are some major gaps remaining. Those include Washington State, 82 counties in California and Arizona (including Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz.), Las Vegas, and major portions of New Mexico and West and South Texas.

What's with the "82 counties in California"? There are only 58 counties in the entire state. And Sprint is already released to use their rebanded 800MHz in all except Kern County, southward.

Kern County southward is probably bigger area than most other whole states. And with a population that includes Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego more populated than most states.

82 counties if you add up California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas?

I picked up -110 dBm B41 signal at Leucadia Blvd/Garden View intersection earlier this evening in Encinitas.

B41 in Oceanside at El Camino and 78.

Yep. Spotted that last week. I posted screenshots above.

That's the second fastest speed I've seen in San Diego, alongside that one site in Vista.

That was on the first try driving by the site.  There is a site in Linda Vista i reported was getting 60Mbps. Will try again with car not moving during the speed test.  Should break easy 60Mbps.

I'm going to scope out more of the Carlsbad area later this upcoming week, on the way to, and from work on my usual routes. I've noticed a few sites that aren't on Spark map, that are Spark live, seems to be firing up one after another, as if Sprint is picking and choosing sites.

As promised it actually broke 70Mbps with the car at a complete stop.  Of course better signal. Fastest I have seen in San Diego.  The moment i drop to B25, i was pushing only 5Mbps.  Not sure how I have gotten 70Mbps+ when B25 was doing only 5Mbps.

I was heading downtown earlier this afternoon from Carlsbad, took a quick glance at my phone passing through Del Mar on the 5 South, and noticed B41 signal that held on for few seconds, then quickly switched back to B25.

There is B41 in downtown near the entrance of Freeway 94.  Someone go hunt it down!  Found another site off Euclid Ave/94 Freeway.

I got B41 at the strip mall where Aviara Pkwy, Alga Rd, & El Camino Real meet in Carlsbad. Got 34mbps down & 14mbps up.

I've been wondering, and waiting for that area to get B41. I pass through there all the time on way to work in Encinitas. The site is located somewhere between that big apt complex on Dove, or somewhere behind that Self Serve Yougurt joint I love going to. Did you get any screenshots?

I got a better signal today passing by in car.

Spotted B41 in Oceanside over Mission Ave close to 5 freeway. Sorry about poor map. Took a very quick shot at traffic light.

    • I assume that any agreement is not perpetual and has an end date. - Trip
    • I think it is likely that T-Mobile will be forced to honor any existing US cellular roaming agreements in those areas as a condition of them taking over the spectrum.  In that case, there would be no improvement of service unless T-Mobile improves the service offering in those areas.
    • My understanding is the MNO carriers are the one who have objected to the use of cell phones in commercial planes.  I understand that it ties down too many cell phones at once, thus I can not see this changing. However this depends on how it is structured. Use of a different plmn for satellite service might make it possible for planes only to connect with satellite. Private pilots have been using cellphones in planes for many decades. Far fewer phones at a lower altitude.
    • On Reddit, someone asked (skeptically) if the US Cellular buyout would result in better service.  I'd been pondering this very issue, and decided to cross-post my response here: I've been pondering the question in the title and I've come to the conclusion that the answer is that it's possible. Hear me out. Unlike some of the small carriers that work exclusively with one larger carrier, all three major carriers roam on US Cellular today in at least some areas, so far as I know. If that network ceases to exist, then the carriers would presumably want to recover those areas of lost service by building out natively. Thus, people in those areas who may only have service from US Cellular or from US Cellular and one other may gain competition from other carriers backfilling that loss. How likely is it? I'm not sure. But it's definitely feasible. Most notably, AT&T did their big roaming deal with US Cellular in support of FirstNet in places where they lacked native coverage. They can't just lose a huge chunk of coverage whole still making FirstNet happy; I suspect they'll have to build out and recover at least some of that area, if not most of it. So it'd be indirect, but I could imagine it. - Trip
    • Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.
