Commnet used to be just 1x around the state and counted as roaming. Now it is shown as a mix of "3G" and LTE and counted as on network. So when up in Taos County, you'll be on Commnet LTE counted as native. I would have loved that when I lived there.

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

With this sudden explosion of 2nd carrier b25, b41, CA, upgraded GMO's, and LTE/3G partners that have all happened in the past month, I am really curious to see how Albuquerque and NM is going to do in the 2H2017 rootmetrics review. Usually we're tested in February and August

Sprint should score better , but more b41 sites need to go live for sprint to rank higher

I disagree. When you are outside of the condensed population centers (uptown, downtown, Jefferson area), speeds were quite fine. I would experience speeds 10 to 20 mbps.  With additional band 25 to the already band 25 and 26, speeds have really gone up.  I found that there testing was somewhat skewed as they wanted to know how at the airport and other places.  Those places that had poor performance have band 25 CA and Band 41 (w or w/o CA).

Rootmetrics does testing indoor and outdoor as well as all over Albuquerque .. I think they will score better , but ranking higher will be tough

Not sure about the accuracy. Drove up to Ruidoso last week and I went to 1X as soon at I left Alamogordo.. Didn't get 3G until I got to Ruidoso.. Will be nice when I can have coverage all the way though..

I picked up LTE at the Albertson Market place off of Meechem. Speed test was not the greatest but give them time. Rest of the town is still 3G.

Best speeds I've gotten at Isotopes Park. It was packed tonight too. f9c01eeebfb7cf162881d3d9a4b81a38.jpg

I decided to check the uptown site to see what speeds look like in the middle of the night. Looks like 3rd carrier is live here. 3xCA? d31440cd1744a8110530905d18a00430.jpg

when you go under the field test click on connected mode LTE intra frequency then look down at E-ARFCN if it has a 1 next to it that 2xca if it has a 2 that's 3xca.

Not necessarily.

 

Configuration 2 is live in yours and several other regions for TDD LTE. This setup has speeds of 112.5/9 mbps so 2xCA can actually reach that speed level.

Considering 1am, and I hit 209 max that sounds like I probably was only on 2xCA. 3rd carrier however was active there.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
