So we might not see any activity until early 2017.... ahh, it's just band 25 is burned out here. lol i do know about the situation with b26 i always thought it was because of Mexico.... i checked the offical document on the FCC website... some guy has all the rights to the 800 mhz and he wants sprint to buy him out. They can't reach a deal so the fcc keeps extending 3 months at a time.

Hey man I feel your pain. Realize that if sprint isn't meeting that needs the other carriers might do it. Tmo won for speed down there so that is always and option.

Most carrier's struggle here.... only verizon is decent at best... i guess most carrier's just don't care for el paso much..... i think the highest avg speed was 12mbps here.... if t mobile had wideband here i would consider them....i guess whoever brings it first, whether it be sprint bringing lte plus or t mobile bringing wideband is who i will give my money to.

But let me know... what is the website to check for permits?

Thanks man I appreciate it. Have you seen any activity from Verizon or T Mobile in El Paso on that site currently on the road

T-mobile here in Alamogordo added new antennas. 700 MHz is what they told me.

How is the progress for sprint in alamagordo

We got B25 about a year ago. Speeds were very good for awhile. But now the system gets very slow during peek hours. A lot of time LTE speeds are below 1.5. I talked to a crew that said they were doing the B26 upgrade about five months ago. Haven't seen that yet though. I have been submitting data issues through the sprint zone app hoping they will get some speed upgrades done.

I check El Paso permits weekly and I haven't seen any sprint specific band 41 applications going through. Once we see applications, that is when the timeframe can really be nailed down. The process will go faster than before. It is not a tip and replace.

I read a vendors post on the Sprint subreddit. Sprint usually has an SLA now for two weeks from when the permit is approved. I would say this supports my observations near me. A local legacy site got upgraded near me and it was up and running B25 after a week when the permit was approved.

Wow! So sprint is going at a very fast pace?

These are 2 of my towers in my area... do you guys see anything i don't see... or is is just the standard band 25

First tower no sprint.

Second sprint is top rack. No 800 RUU which is not surprising for El Paso.

    • 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.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
