markjcc Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm not certain. I guess I'll find out if WiMAX gets shutdown? Or do you know for sure that Hawaii won't get shutdown?

markjcc Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 I've found a permit on a Clearwire tower near my home! Clear gear is still ontop but the Permit calls for adding 3 Panels/Antennas. I've also noticed that all the upgrades always included 3 Panel antennas, However the Permit doesn't directly point to Sprint. It's stumping me because the permit is "HI2 VALLEY ISLES" Project: HI2-VALLEY ISLE Now occupied as: antenna tower To be occupied as: antenna tower Scope: adding 3 antenna Could this be Sprint NV/Spark gear on a clearwire site? Can they run Clearwire and Spark at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjcc Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Update: that project is related to Verizon. Dairy Road in Kahului desperately needs a tower. This is near all the shops, Costco, Walmart, Lowes, Maui Market place. There is a clear tower here. How likely will Sprint convert it? Can only get a weak B41 outside and a weak B25, Band 26 is what serves this area primarily. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacron Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The injunction said that WiMax will remain active for 90 more days while they get situated on Sprint LTE. Eventually they will get shut down Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjcc Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Went from Wailuku to Paia. Held on to LTE All the way. Either on Band 41 or dropped to Band 25. Speeds at Paia town hit 12Mbps at 6:00 PM. Not bad for Band 25. Only dropped down to 1X on the way back (for about half a mile) passing some mountains but I was able to stream Pandora just fine. Didn't roam at all on Verizon, great experience so far from Sprint Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjcc Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Looks like they're adjusting the down tilt and up tilt on panels. Before I previously wasn't able to get a Band 41 signal on my lawn. Now I can manage to pickup a two bars on band 41. Maybe they even upped the power levels, I don't know Not bad, good for sprint.

markjcc Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 It's official, Sprint Spark is marked as lit up in kehei Spark was also spotted 2 times at Puunene, Some parts of Kahului is lit up already. Wailuku, only 1 tower upgrade.. But i'm expecting very soon for the rest 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjcc Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Lahaina needs some serious work, almost all of Lahaina is 3G and 1X Not even LTE [emoji30]. I'm hoping they'll upgrade it soon. At least the 3G is usable so thumbs up for that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I love this picture Eh, T-Mobile and Sprint ball park around the same ping. It's however caused by how sprint and T-Mobile routes traffic stateside then back to Hawaii. If I tested Sprint and T-Mobile to a server in LA they would be hitting 90ms or so. But yeah, Sprint is kicking some ass. It's starting to become what the old sprint stood for.

I think they've starting tuning Band 26 on maui, does Tuning require a site visit or a permit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjcc Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Today using my Dual Band Galaxy S4 No Band 26 or 41, Strictly Band 25.. I've found something quite shocking in the Kahului area, Sprint seems more dense than T-Mobile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrappleFu Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Whats the eCSFB, Anyone care to explain? It stands for enhanced circuit switch fallback. For phones with one radio, it needs it to trigger your phone to switch back to 1x for calls or texts when on LTE. I'm sure you can get a better explanation from someone more knowledgeable about this. The area around my house had problems with eCSFB for months. A lot of calls wouldn't go through (in or out) and some texts were super delayed unless I manually put my phone in cdma mode.
