Been in the island for 4 days now and getting solid performance from the network. All the calls have been HD and I have experience plenty of B26 with very good speeds in Aiea, HI 96701, kaneohe Bay an

The first 2.5 permit just got approved. Hopefully ALU has equipment available.

I put the location in my map in the sponsors section.

Great. It's nice to see the network improvements finally fall into place.

How is service on Oahu now?

 

Any reports of 800 CDMA or LTE?

Plenty of LTE coverage. It's pretty well mapped on Sensorly. I haven't seen any reports of 800 CDMA.

I have 1.26 Mbps Down and 3.33 Mbps Up.  That's a *lot* better than previous days of 0.76 Mbps Down and 1.03 Mbps up.  This is near Kapiolani and Cooke st.  I would say the coverage still bad...

Coverage or speeds? Those are two different things.

I really don't know how you guys survived such bad service.  I would've changed providers a long time ago.

 

Fortunately those days are gone.

 

It seems that UH campus is covered with LTE.

Coverage on campus outdoors is alright. Take 5 steps indoors and there no LTE signal. I think I've seen the Hamilton Library tower got LTE accepted this week so hopefully it'll be better.

Haven't checked network.sprint.com in a long time, a ton more sites lit up, punahou, two by hilton hawaiian village, almost all downtown, like like hwy, ewa villages, maili.  The only place I drop to 3g on my commute is red hill by kaiser permanente.

There are still a lot of sites that don't have LTE yet, so there is still room for improvement. Once 8T8Rs arrive, you should see a lot of improvement so long as you have a tri-band device.

They really should be launching 800mhz.  Wonder what the hold up is.

I don't know on that. There may be another holder that hasn't cleared out of the spectrum yet, like the problems we've seen in the south Florida, southern California/Las Vegas areas.

Over the past few days while at home (no LTE), I have noticed that I will bounce between eHRPD and EVDO every few minutes. Not sure if its related but during this period I will not get incoming calls and text are super delayed. Only remedy is to put it into CDMA mode and everything works fine again

Looks like you guys are getting the first signs of 1x800 being deployed. 1x800 voice quality was terrible at the beginning when they first started activating it but it has since been smoothed out as the deployment accelerated and then wrapped up.

What does this mean for those without spark antenna?

1x800 can be used by basically almost every phone released in the past 3 years. Nothing to do with "Spark" which denotes the Band 41 TDD-LTE deployment.

      FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.

      Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.

      MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.

      I am lucky to be served by an excellent fiber ISP and that is the only reason I haven't tried TMOs FWA. Once you go fiber, it is REALLY hard to go back. The choice of sub-10ms ping times is a very artificial bucket, FWA will seldom get much below 10ms ping times but fiber regularly gets me 1-3ms ping times. Basically, at around those times, the speed of light and the distance you are from the server become the limiting factors. As an aside, my internet provider, ZiplyFiber, has been awesome. They peer like crazy at all the major IX in the area and, as a result, you end up with what essentially amounts to direct fiber connections to the vast majority of major data sources. While it isn't sexy, it makes my 1Gb/1Gb connection load pages significantly faster than my works 10Gb/10Gb connection. On the "sexy" side, they are also fastest ISP in the nation. They offer up to 50Gb/50Gb via a direct fiber connection to the router, albeit for an eye watering $900/mo.
