Did yours say over the next months or month?

Mine said month. Singular. I talked to a sprint care rep, and they said it is linked to all upgrades wether NV or not. But also that almost all upgrades are for NV. Wondering what it is since all of the towers near me have been upgraded.

They are starting the ABQ market with the site next to my house. I just ran into subcontractors for Ericsson who are starting to upgrade my site in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. Unbelievable!!!

OK. I've now uploaded pics. I talked with the guys there. They are electricians hired by SBA. SBA is subcontracted to Ericsson. They are here to install the RRU's only today. My site here did no

I've seen it do that when it is scanning LTE channels and find an active one.  It will say N/A until it registers with the network and then those fields populate.  If it cannot connect to LTE, it will go back to eHRPD in a few minutes.  The next time that happens, take a screen shot of your LTE Engineering screen.  Because if it is stopping on a bona fide LTE channel, it will populate the info there.

Just got this text while in the valley.

That text went out to almost every Sprint subscriber. Even ones who no longer live in a Sprint coverage area. The consensus is it is just marketing, and doesn't mean much. Don't get expectations up too much.

 

While quite a bit of work has been done in the area, the fact that the text went out to pretty much everyone means it has little to do with the actual state of your network, and has more to do with keeping subscribers.

 

Robert got the text too.... in South Dakota ... where he's had his billing address listed for some time. Where there is no Sprint network.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but in LTE Discovery it actually defaults LTE in the left box. I have it too and I am on AT&T and outside of an LTE area by 45 miles.

When you see in your LTE Engineering screen Band 50 and Channel 65535, it means it cannot find an LTE channel at all. That's the default no value return. See my screenshots below:

In 16 bit binary, 65535 is basically the equivalent of "NO SOUP FOR YOU!"

If you were able to see an LTE network you could not connect to, your LTE Engineering screen would look more like this:

This is what Verizon Band 4 LTE (AWS) looks like on my Nexus 5 with a VZW SIM that will not authenticate.  It would give you the correct DL channel, but not UL channel.  The UL channel will not populate until you authenticate with the network.

Ive never seen that lte side of lte discovery say lte over the last 7 months I've been using it, on a daily basis too. So my bubble isn't busted yet. Now if you go into airplane mode it will default to lte .

So you think AT&T is also firing up LTE here in South Dakota today too? Because mine says LTE also. And I'm in 3G only coverage.

 

These apps mean nothing. It's what the LTE Engineering screen says that is important. That's where these apps are essentially getting data from. And your LTE Engineering screen is saying nada.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile.

      T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
