Just remember how much the other 3 carrier has more spectrum running. So no band 41 equals slow poor results.

Not just that, but Sprint has failed to finish the remaining sites that still have yet to get LTE or even seen the full LTE upgrades, they are lagging behind and this is unacceptable!

They are starting the ABQ market with the site next to my house. I just ran into subcontractors for Ericsson who are starting to upgrade my site in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. Unbelievable!!!

OK. I've now uploaded pics. I talked with the guys there. They are electricians hired by SBA. SBA is subcontracted to Ericsson. They are here to install the RRU's only today. My site here did no

Looking at sprints band 41 behavior in El Paso .. since we are in the same market as Albuquerque. It does look like on band 41 El Paso has taking a bit priority over Albuquerque on the roll out ... El Paso also has remaining sites that need upgrades to LTE.. I think both markets ( if sprint is still its own company and has not merged by then ) won't see a respectable LTE network until mid to end of 2019

I'm hopping a merge happens with T Mobile and the management team from T Mobile takes over. I'm definitely not waiting till 2019 or even 2018/ to get decent LTE.

Well, so far in El Paso.. we have only 10 permits requested as of march.. all have been approved only 1 site has new equipment on it. No movement on the other sites... El Paso I believe has roughly around 80 tower sites... if I don't see a huge spike in permit requests in the next month .. I don't see sprint finishing a good percentage of band 41 in El Paso this year .. it will prolly go run over until next year (2018).. with still no band 26 or any small cells in sight here in El Paso anyways

I only see 5 permits from November until February.  Could you send me a list of the permits you're seeing?

I don't believe they were taken down, that Mesa permit doesn't show up on my search. I think there's a bug in the search results.

Seems like this day would never come. Now move north.  Good to see that they have two carriers going. Doesn't even matter that CA isn't going. This will provide a great relief on the network there.

Now let's get this in ABQ!

I can confirm there is still no LTE at my house, yet they still claim I have full LTE service.

They reduced LTE coverage to be at least more accurate for what I have experienced in the North Valley, far Northeast Heights and Downtown.

Well I sure hope they can fix Alamogordo's problem soon. Data speed are way down below 1MB for a long time now. Been sending in network problems complaint every couple of days. Nothing yet.

Sometimes I do wonder why Sprint has stayed behind on MIMO, QAM, and cell splitting. Everyone else has jumped on this type of technology.

Sorry, I was trying to upload this but the file was too large. I couldn't figure out what's the squared symbol was so I assumed second carrier. f3ce25927872d4ff4d880a07a4027cb7.jpg

      You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.

      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.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.
