Network Vision/LTE - San Diego Market

[gman1000]

Hit some Movistar roaming 11 miles north of the U.S. border in far east county yesterday. It surprised me that was the only coverage available. I received texts indicating costs (.20/minute, texts free, some data included but no indication of how much).

 

Perhaps they have some panels facing north to help cover the trafficking areas.

I took a screenshot with LTE Discovery.

 

Looking at the GCI, I would say this is the second B25 carrier. I'm not sure why LTE Discovery is reporting it as Band 26.

Got some pretty solid B25 carrier aggregation speeds here on the corner of 15th Street & Camino Del Mar in Del Mar

No CA on B25 or B26, that looks like 10x10!!  B25, thats pretty awesome! Post engineering screen shots if you can to confirm.

False alarm, that was wifi at work I thought I had turned off but didn't. I apologize for that.

 You were still connected to second carrier on B25, you can still post that information, still useful.

Anything new in San Diego?

Anything new in San Diego?

 

The latest iOS update brought with it v23.1 of the Sprint carrier settings and a new PRL. Those combined seemed to give me 1-2 bars of B25 LTE in my living room for a few minutes after updating last night but I can't seem to duplicate it now.

I also got that new PRL on my Note 5. Service at home is way better. That's because Sprint techs came out, and tuned the tower up about a week ago, due to over capacity. Tech I was on phone with about 2 weeks ago, said he entered codes into the system to prioritize my phone to get the best signal/service when it gets way too crowded.

Found band 41 on Palm Ave off the 805. The South Palm Ave closer to the Boarder.

Neighbor Cells are the LTE signals that your device can see but is not connected to. That is how your device knows what site/sector to grab on to if the one you are currently using becomes unusable.

Band 41 in Ocean Beach is kickin' butt

A lot of 3G action throughout North County.

Any San Diego news or updates?

Just noticed I'm on B25 CA for the first time ever at home. Been having a lot of tower congestion for the past 2-3 months being connected to a GMO site at peak hours. Crews must've came out sometime today, after I made some calls being stuck on 1x a few times this week, being on B25 that became along poor 3G on hand overs. Did my first speed test and got 14.55 Mbps up, and 4.47 Mbps down. Average speeds was always 5 to 6 Mbps up before B25 CA.

There is no b25 carrier aggregation. The only carrier aggregation setup sprint is using is on Band 41.

 

Sprint is firing up a 2nd band 25 carriers across the country in markets that have the spectrum for it and it has been detected in San Diego and socal. Thus you are connected to a 2nd band 25 carrier which doubles the capacity and increases the average speeds through load balancing.

Just second carrier

14.55 down and 4.47 up?

[Marv1]

14.55 down and 4.47 up?

Typos posting,editing from phone. I'm sure some knew what I meant.

Both of those numbers were feasible if the site was heavily congested on the download, so needed clarity.
