Terrell352 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 One area could have lots of interference or that 1 sector could be the only one congested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyroned3222 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Again I can't guarantee that but if El Paso gets this 20x20 PCS which the FCC will likely approve then Sprint is going to be a good option within the next 2 years. I wouldn't recommend Sprint at the moment in El Paso since most of the market looks to be 5x5 PCS and that's it. Obviously that doesn't cut it in 2016.Well, sprint gave the 20×20 pcs to t mobile in the swap.. to gain more pcs spectrum in higher priority markets Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even without PCS eventually 3xCA band 41 will be just fine also. It's a matter of how long. El Paso doesn't seem to be a high priority market to Sprint.

Sprint is just not as fast at deployment as them so I will say T-Mobile. Plus the fact that T-Mobile is trying to get 40mhz of PCS there tells me that its a higher priority market to them than it is for Sprint.

A second carrier will be possible once the trading is complete. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No device is the same. The iphone on tmobile rf could be amazing on tmobile but average on Verizon. The fcc docs tell you but it does not always match up. Example the Sprint Note 5 wqs suppose to be average on all bands but real world reports say that they are much better than what the fcc tested. There is no way of knowing until you have the device. How I determine is I go to the store and look at all of the rf performance on each device. Its the best way in my opinion. Just make sure they are connected to the same tower and sector.

tyroned3222 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 My buddy at sprint said..." the reason sprint is stalling on network upgrades in el paso/Albuquerque, because there market share is so slim that they wouldn't see a return on investment. It would be a lose lose situation. He said the only thing they might do this year is convert remaining legacy sites and that's about it...any opinions ??
