No, your post is what is wrong.  It violates S4GRU rules.  We do not host Sprint complaints.   http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1197-s4gru-posting-guidelines-aka-the-rulez/   So, one of our moder

You say that.  Yet the Northern Jersey market had nearly 30 upgrade updates last month.  More than most other markets.  And Central Jersey had a good showing with 13 updates.  It's still happening.  I

So will they go all LTE here soon?

No place on the Sprint network is going all LTE any time soon. There will be least 1 or 2 1xRTT carriers and 1 EVDO carrier until CDMA is shut down, which won't be for a couple of years at least.

Well I'm looking forward to Sprint's continued improvements. So the thinning of CDMA shows me they are increasing capacity in New Jersey which is fantastic.

Yes, thinning is important, getting more or wider LTE carriers on air. But they won't be shutting down CDMA entirely any time soon.

10x10 B25 carriers coming online in Middletown NJ. Also 3xCA in and around town. Speeds regularly over 80mb+ in and around town.
So PCS refarming has begun?

Yes it's extremely annoying. So they are upping LTE capacity I take it.

Yup, it seems like it. The more spectrum they devote to LTE, the faster the speeds and the greater the capacity for VoLTE calls. I'm really curious to see how fast VoLTE adoption will be on Sprint.

I m also curious to see how Sprint will add new coverage here...

Went to Six Flags Great Adventure and during the drive from NYC I took a different route through a good chunk of rural Central Jersey. Because I was driving I didn't get the chance to do any speed tests but I did notice that I was on 5G for most of the trip. There were a few areas where I dropped to 1 bar of 5G and even 1-2 bars of LTE but I didn't notice any location where I left coverage completely. Additionally it seems that not every site on the NJ Turnpike has 5G just yet as there was one section where both going to Six Flags and coming back to NYC I dropped down to LTE while maintaining a strong signal.

At the actual amusement park there is one macro site that all carriers are collocated on and it was completely overloaded yesterday. I had 5G everywhere I went but it was virtually useless with speeds <1Mbps. I didn't see any T-Mobile n41 antennas but there were definitely Sprint n41 antennas on the site. In order to get any usable data, I had to use the Six Flags Guest WiFi. My Verizon line was also on 5G and was slow also super slow but not as slow as T-Mobile.

Went to Six Flags again and it is a complete 180 compared to the last time I went. Both T-Mobile and Verizon did some serious upgrades to the on-site monopole.

On T-Mobile I got 100MHz n41 everywhere I went with consistent speeds of 350+ Mbps. I even broke 400Mbps in some places. You'd never guess it if you looked at the coverage maps because they haven't been updated to reflect the new coverage just yet.

On Verizon there is C-band available however it seems that they're shaping traffic so that most people at the park are on a high capacity LTE setup instead. Cycling airplane mode would throw me onto a strong C-band signal but in about 3 minutes the network would kick me down to LTE as if it's trying to balance the load on their 5G network. C-band speeds were decent at ~200 Mbps and LTE speeds were more than respectable peaking at ~140Mbps. I switched my phone to LTE on T-Mobile and speeds were about equal to Verizon, peaking at ~130Mbps with slightly lower upload speeds.

What a difference a year can make!

      New SCP beta rolling out now.. gave this one some extra testing with the hopes that I have finally cleaned up the glitches with 5G NSA web uploads as well as some other minor bugs. Please keep an eye on your upload notification to see if you have an abnormally large number of "clusters" being uploaded compared to the number of pending entries you had. By default, the app includes up to 512 entries per "cluster", but LTE and NR entries are clustered separately.

      Yup—the current plan is to go with the AT&T site in Greenwater and the Verizon site atop Grass Mountain, although there have been so many problems getting the tower physically built and backhauled that the AT&T site south of 410 is looking like a candidate.  I do some work in the industry; there is a lot a can’t share but some that I can . Permits are a good way to track movement; although permitting happens only very late in the process.

      That's really nice to hear--seems like this is the trend nationwide in general. Lots of new collocations planned around rural MI and OH from what I've seen in from the American Tower site portal. Also, the Att site around Greenwater WA got a new Tmo collocations (no n41) but wasn't online when I was around that area.   Btw, how are you able to get information on collocations plans? Are there permits available in those areas?

      Verizon vs T-Mobile at MetLife Stadium today for the Howard vs Morehouse football game. Verizon has clearly poured a ton of money into MetLife Stadium. Besides mmWave there's also a hidden WiFi network for Verizon customers that I started connecting to from the parking lot. Verizon's mmWave performed great as usual but n41 was no slouch. T-Mobile was running 120MHz n41 in the stadium. No idea why T-Mobile is reporting 1 bar when field test mode was showing -70dbm.

      T-Mobile is planning on colocating on the Newhalem site that AT&T and VZW are on as well as the site in Trafton. There are no finalized plans to address the coverage gap west and north of Darrington, although it’s being looked at.  It would be nice to see them build out at Lake Cavanaugh too, but no plans to do that yet as far as I’m aware.
