Network Vision/LTE - Albuquerque market (including El Paso, Las Cruces, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Roswell)

Also, 165 ping 2.53 down and .7 up. I am inside a warehouse, North of Paseo and West of Washington. Things are really getting better.

I was just in that area at Yearout Mechanical's office in September and my Sprint 3G data kept timing out. So that was a pretty bad area. A much needed improvement. I couldn't get a Tmo signal inside the building at all. AT&T LTE was unusable. I had to use my VZW hotspot. :(

So the link is the speed test at Dillard's at i40 and Louisiana. I can't believe that I got 105 ping with as many people that are here. Speed wasnot outstanding. However I was pulling we pages just fine.

With that kind of ping, things that only use small amounts of data will feel very fast. That could just be a provisioning problem at the switch. I don't recall ever seeing a ping that low with a speed that low before. :fingers:

I would have to agree.  Interesting was that I took the screen shot on my phone and I was able to upload the picture over 3G.

Did you try a few servers? It could have actually just been a server problem causing slower throughput.

I was in the same Dillard's yesterday (unfortunately) and was getting horrible service.  However, not joke, the sheer number of people there was frightening and I suppose the nearest switch could have been a little overwhelmed.  I nearly jumped for joy when my girlfriend agreed, it wasn't worth the efforts to be in that store on that day and we left.

I was patiently waiting in the car.

Well I'm wondering what's up there, because I was at the tower on Juan Tabo on the south side of I-40 and got 1.91/0.96 with a ping of 104. I have noticed almost everywhere I'm at that hasn't been upgraded, I'm guessing, I have been getting upload speeds 2X as fast as download.

That's the weird thing - once I get near I-40, the speed shoots up to at least reasonable, but near Central and south of Central it plummets to intolerably slow.

My speeds are back in the toilet. Calls not going through, network communication issues and so on. Been having this problem from north of Paseo to south of Central. Come on Sprint.

I wouldn't worry too much. This up and down happened in most markets right before they were about to launch lte.

    • 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.
