This is where it is located .. I just thought this has to be a sprint site .. everyone else has tower in that area

Show us what is at the base. The antennas alone can't tell us much.

Was at Uptown this afternoon and got B41 MM^2 97.25 Mbps down and 5.64 Mbps up. Never seen that before in ABQ.

Shocking how well it is during the day. The site covers the entire area so well. At night/early morning it will push 200+

Really 200+? That's amazing for that area! Good Job Sprint!

 Sprint up 5 points in El Paso in the 2nd half of 2017

I can see that. I was just recently there and some areas have way improved, most stagnant and consistent with the past.

I heard more B41 is coming online more there. The 5x5 only main reason for the poor results. Hopefully 1st half 2018 will be even better.

This tower still a mystery was set for an upgrade.. my 1st thought for a band 41 upgrade, but they just added more sectors.which is now only tower in el paso using 6 sectors

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

 

Nope. 3 sectors.

They added triband antennas and only attached 2.5 mini macros to it.

This is the front of the site.. it also has another 3sectors on the other side of the tower. This is the first site like this in El paso e8a84369655d0b1b12eaf98d6f14bf09.jpg

Ya, 6 antennas total

Yes 3 sectors 2 antennas.  An antenna is not a new sector unless it has different sector coverage configuration. Those triband antennas have the same sector coverage setup as the 800/1900 hex ports so it's the same sector.

So, was this an capcity upgrade for band 25 ?

No.

As I said in a previous post only 2.5 mini macros are connected to the 2.5 ports of the triband antenna.

That's a area with the C Block. So not surprised it's 10x10. Is that the only carrier or is there a 5x5 carrier from the B Block

Sprint is just running this block no band 26 nothing else .. density is bad here for sprint .. towers are spaced so far apart

Stinks. Do you happen to know how much C Block spectrum they have? Just curious if it's only enough for this 10x10 or possibly a 15x15 Future.

Oh. The map I've seen shows them holding C,B And G Block there. So I thought they could put all the C Block on LTE and keep B Block on CDMA

Yes you are correct about the holdings. However, I don't have the specific date but the C block of 30mhz total was leased to AT&T.  I will have to check the spectrum dashboard if the lease expired and has since returned to sprint.

 

Edit. Obviously something has occurred as the picture posted is in the C block. Also Band 25 G block is deployed down there so it could be that a sliver of the C block has been returned and subsequently the G block has been expanded.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
