Sprint added a full build running additional panels but it’s only running mini macros

Where did they add a full build? When you say it's only running mini macros, you mean for B41. B25 is online also yes?

Yes it’s running 2xca mini macros like on sites where they just added a rru, but this happens to be a full build

I'm not sure what the confusion is then.

You have a mini macro on macro deployment there. Is there something unique about it that should be talked a out?

Well sprint has been back to the site twice .. I thought by now it should be running 3xca using beam forming

Specially since part of the sector is the only other site that covers part of downtown

Mini-macros can't do 3xCA, I don't think those are 8T8R antennas so beam forming probably isn't an option either.

This site is clearly a macro site (note the B25 NV antenna) with B41 mini-macros added. That is why I was confused when you said it was "just doing mini macro," because that is not an accurate description.

Does anyone have Tmobile?  I am thinking of switching as I travel a lot on I40 west to Arizona and the service is just terrible.

There is a tower in Window Rock but Sprint confirmed for me today there are no planned upgrades to the tower for the next 6 months.  It still has not been upgraded from legacy equipment.

I have a T-Mobile Note8 and it’s fairly unreliable through there. You get LTE in the towns but between them it’s nothing. (Like emergency calls only/no service nothing) I don’t remember exactly compared to Sprint however.

Ok not an option. I’ll have to look at att and Verizon.

And Sprint roams on carriers in that area.  Like Commnet and Verizon.  T-Mobile is worthless in Northern AZ when not on a native signal.

I’m happy that sprint keeps in-market and domestic roaming so open. I rarely, if ever see ‘no service’ :)

I just hope Sprint can expand coverage to att/VZW roaming areas.

That’s my thing. My ip7 did roam on band 17. My ipX will not connect. Always falls back to dead 3g

This sprint reports says a 102% increase in speeds in Albuquerque. Just wanted to ask if sprints network is that much better in Albuquerque


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe it, the average has increased completely. According to the RootMetrics 2H17 ABQ report, "Sprint's median download speed increased from 1.6 Mbps to 7.1 Mbps." Also considering most GMOs in the state have LTE turned on now, the entire market has improved in the past 6 months or so.

That is good to see ..so the push that is coming soon .. should put Albuquerque over top and sprint may surpass one of the competitors

Does it have B41 yet? Or higher FDD if possible?
