tyroned3222 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I wouldn't say they have wideband yet. My experience on Sprint isn't that different to my work Verizon hotspot. All Tmo has is 15x15 which was the speed winner in the last round in Rootmetrics testings and Verizon has only the B13 10x10 and B4 15x15. As far as I know from the Spectrum databases, the spectrum in those bands is it for Tmo and Verizon. Only expansion would be elimation of HSPA+ in B2 for TMO and refarm the 800 Cellular for Verizon. Also, Verizon only owns a 5x5 slice of 1900 in most of NM. So t mobile doesn't have 20×20 mhz access in Albuquerque.... i remember they sure made a deal about launching there wideband lte in Albuquerque right after launching there big call center there Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyroned3222 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Let me get a screen shot for proof.I think t mobile considers a wideband launch in both the 15×15 and 20×20 mhz Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk Oh you went that route. That isn't a bad route to go if you are having problems with the main customer service. But glad you were able to do what you need to do in order to get the best service you can get in the area you are at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk nothing. El Paso and Albuquerque are spectrum constrained in the PCS blocks. That is why I keep telling you, if sprint is working for you now, switch. El Paso won't see significant improvement in speeds until later this year into next year. Just face that fact. Edit: The only saving grace for ABQ is that Sprint is able to deploy band 26. Band 41 will be down in El Paso long before Band 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just trying to find some positive statements, a little bit of hope lol. Yesterday me and some buddies ran speed tests on all 4 carriers and i must say there is not real significant difference... the highest we saw was 3mbps and this was in multiple areas all over town...but even when you say "by the end of this year into early next year" there is still no guarantee about that happening ether.
