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

It is a canned response. THe upgrades you want would not help with signal indoors.  Only 800 would help that and I think that is a while off for southern NM and El Paso.

@tyroned3222 I asked last week about some towers and they got pushed back again till December. They wouldn't tell me why. I'm starting to lose faith in them now.

Ya, same here! We are towards the end of this year. Even if they start sometime next year we still won't see any changes until mid 2018. The 800mhz ibez who knows when they will approve that.

I saw your speed test in the Tmo thread. It is nice but think about it. Your speed is basically 10x10 and that is it until GSM and HSPA is turned off.

Ya , the additional capacity is only 10×10mhz your right, but it sure beats sprint

How much longer are you willing to wait? Most of there capex funding is geared towards small cells. So, is there still funding available at the moment for new lte plus sites? Thats all you guys need you already have 800mhz.

It is worth it for me with 5 lines and I pay less than I would with Verizon, ATT or Tmo.  I have a work verizon hotspot and yes they may have more coverage but suffer from the same issues sprint does.

 

Yes it helps that band 26 is deployed and used as a bandaid fix for capacity. I think they should just come back and do the GMOs tha are left.

I agree about GMOs. Just get them done! The Westside does need more work then the eastside. Some places everything is useless and it's sort of scary to be honest. If something happens and no way to reach out to emergency services, that's going to bite Sprint in the butt. I even said this to them.

I'm glad you guys got the convo going a bit! The thread died of there for a while (I mean there isn't much to report). Are you looking at other options currently?

If Sprint starts putting those small cell on the westside, that would really improve things. Wonder if they have any plans for that.

I would think that would be easier than bring band 41. band 25 small cells from ericson would be awesome. They could deploy 7 to 10 at the same cost of 1 NV 1.0 tower (cost wise)

That would be nice as many of towers on the westside are so spread out. I can't believe the one off Coors and Montano still hasn't been upgraded to LTE.

They wouldn't tell me if it was in the plans. :(

 

It was originally suppose to be done by September, but when I asked again recently they said December now.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
