tyroned3222 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I can only imagine how great it'll be for folks in these areas to one day wake up and see that they're holding onto LTE far better than before or that where they once had 3G only, they now have LTE service.I gotta say this about Sprint and what they did here and by all means it isnt the best by any means, but without having band 26 this whole time .. sprint really precisely picked out the tower placements of sites that were added back in 2013/2014.. in some areas where more coverage was needed Sprint placed the towers really high in some others where they added band 25 they placed the tower lower as coverage fill and placed small cells to help coverage.. Sprint did stretch pcs band 25 as far as it go to maintain LTE lol.. but not too many drops to LTE that I have seen on Sprint , but b25 speeds did suffer because of it Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rackhivee Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I didn't take any pictures of the sites in Las Cruces, but from what I gathered they replaced their old equipment with 16t16r equipment. It was a great experience overall, even on B25. B26 will be a great addition there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyroned3222 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Sprint is now 92% complete with their band 41 roll out in El PasoSent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyroned3222 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 And after an investment in the market Sprint now has the fastest average download speed at 17.9 jumped above T-Mobile on network speeds... Once upload improves those scores will also improveSent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since yesterday some work is being done near Coors between Paseo and Montano and the company that is installing is known for installing fiber and building towers so I think they are running fiber to the site. The site already has new cabinets and stuff. I hope it's for the tower and can give it some love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to avoid that area as much as I can because I can barely do anything on my phone. It's hard to hang at the new La Cumbre right there lolSent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyroned3222 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Man we’re going to need a service experience review from you. Sprint has done so much in your market in such a very short span of time. Yes coming soon on the 21st of September.. Sprint has managed to upgrade a high percentage of their current tower grid here in 5 months.. More sites are being upgraded that I still haven't checked on yet.. and the mall sites looks to be getting massive Mimo as that site serves an indoor and outdoor mall that are across the street from each other.. will upload pics as soon as I can get to that side of town (Ericsson market btw ) ..band 26 is up on all those sites which should be turned on any month now.. for Sprint to have a shot at volte with just 60 macro towers a tough task ? I'll have to check and see where drops to 3G happen and evaluate based on that, but more sites are needed Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyroned3222 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 One wierd thing I saw was that Sprint took a hit in Call Performance. Interesting. I have not noticed this. Perhaps I missed a Calling Plus or VoLTE.Any changes on the calling.. have you dropped calls .. or has it been solid ?Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been checking out some 3rd party testing and it looks like sprint has dropped speed again in Albuquerque by a significant margin.
