Dkoellerwx Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Thats not complaining thats logic. Verizon, At&t and Tmobile started with 10x10 and did it last long for them? No. Its double capacity but when capacity was low to begin with its not impressive. Its not even catching up. Once a second carrier band 25 or band 41 with small cells are deployed but until then you are about to be severely disappointed if you think even for a second that 800 is going to solve capacity issues. If it does its only a temp fix. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk By the end of the year there should be 2 B25 carriers plus Band 26 (crossing fingers on that part) and then the B41 rollout. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroepcke51 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Saw some work being done to a stealth site on Coors by I40 next to Wendy's this afternoon. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk I think these are the permits that I found. They added an additional antennae at Coors and I40 as well. Did the same at Osuna and Wyoming.

jroepcke51 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Can you check out the one south of I40 on coors? I swear it looked like additional one but maybe I was mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brynn0823 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Congrats! How far is this from Albuquerque and what does this mean for El Paso since it's technically in the same market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same market - the Albuquerque Market. ABQ already had band 26. Not all sites have it and those that don't suffer. However, high traffic areas of town Jefferson center, Louisiana Malls and UNM seem to be pretty good. Downtown is awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to switch one of my lines to Verizon for work, and have learned Verizon's rough areas. Specifically ABQ Uptown on Louisiana is completely unusable for Verizon almost all times of day.

S4GRU Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 The Alamogordo B26 site is significant because it is in the Mexican IBEZ. One of the closest B26 sites to the border so far. Sent from OnePlus 2 using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCUJuan Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 So I'm not sure what's happening, but my phone is often showing one bar of LTE while at my house for the past two or three weeks, it always used to show full bars or almost full bars. Anyone know if there's any work being done to the towers near me? I'm near Louisiana and San Antonio. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC405 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 How is it running so far? Any speed test Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk Nope. I am never able to stay locked on with my 6+ or my nexus 5. Anytime my nexus picks it up it gets kicked down to 3G. So I am guessing they are not letting handsets to use it yet. As soon as I start to get a lock I will run some test. I hope this will help the b25 congestion we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSC405 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 https://vimeo.com/166286145 Here is a quick video of what I see in signal check. I just noticed the signal strength of the LTE 800. Not sure why it would be higher. Of course this time it did not kick back to 3G it went to b25 Maybe the number can explain more.
