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.

      T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach

      Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

      Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
