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

Recommended Posts

Today around 9:00 a.m. I got an LTE signal at Golf Course and McMahon. It terminated before I could run a speed test there. 3G works much better there now.

 

Then about 3:30 p.m. I got a brief LTE signal near Candelaria and University.

 

I'm glad to hear the LTE coverage near Coors and Central now goes up to 98th.

Since when did Albuquerque get so much LTE coverage? The last time i checked, there was barely anything.

Most of the sites were sitting ready for the integration team to hook them up. That speeds up roll out

They are in progress of installing fiber to the to tower on central and bluewater NW. Also there is painted marks all around the tower on 98th and sunset gardens so I think it's next for fiber but that tower hasn't had any NV work at this point so im thinking they might be getting ready to start work on thiat site soon, I hope then ill be getting faster speeds in my house.

Mapped a little bit of the Golf Course, Irving, Eagle Ranch and Paseo run this morning, signal was weak and dropped completely to 3G once I hit the river, but something is better than nothing!

I'm getting it all on Jefferson and I25

I was at century last night and had full bars LTE. I am sitting in my house and I have four bars. The entire city that I go has LTE now. This is awesome.

Would it do any good to report eCSFB problems to Sprint? There are a couple sites that have been problematic for nearly a month in ABQ. Kind of sucks not being to leave lte on using the nexus 5.

I think it would be good. I would go through dan@sprint.com though. I seem to get a call back within a day. They know more that calling cs.

I know it can take a while to get the software update working, but this seems a little long. Unfortunately, I'm expecting some response about how it's not launched here and blah blah blah, but I'll give it a go.

would anyone know why my phone (Nexus 5) would be giving bogus tower locations? I get one location during the day that is nowhere near a tower or box that I can tell. then at night I get a totally different one. Using three different signal apps. and they are all showing the same locations. This starting about a week agol

Same problem with me. I'm pretty sure there is no tower here uploadfromtaptalk1400452269294.jpg

 

Also on my nexus. This did not show up until recently. Not a big deal at all, just an interesting observation. The photo was generated by the signal check coordinates.

I saw that same LTE on Jefferson and Paseo, mapped a little bit of it in Sensorly.  I even barely got an LTE signal inside my office near Jefferson and San Francisco, which any signal at all inside my building is amazing.

I'm betting Albuquerque gets "launched" in a few weeks. I'm seeing lte all over the place. Notice the mapping I just did on the north end of tramway down paseo. That was probably at least three towers I was connected to.

Yesterday and today I am getting less than 2 mbps DL on 4G. And I keep dropping back to 3G, and have to toggle airplane mode to get 4G back. Central and Wyoming. Anyone else having issues?

Was it with a weak LTE signal? If not, it's possible there were network problems. Sometimes people experience those kinds of things as they are bringing online another adjacent site. In the worst case, the sector is overloaded and they will need ton get another adjacent site online to alleviate the problem.

I figure it's related to the work I think is being done to get Albuquerque officially launched. I've been pretty happy since day one of the roll out. Just wonder if it's just me having troubles. Not opening sensorl, but the signal has been bad since yesterday.

    • 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.
