I can confirm Clear B41 is back up at my home site in Fullerton. The speed test was taken connected to my Zing hotspot.

If you had a handset as old as your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on VZW, you would lack band 2 and/or band 4.  On AT&T, you would lack carrier aggregation, band 29, and band 30.  On T-Mobile, you would l

Wow, came home today to B25 LTE! I am so happy, lol. Only got 4-5 Mbps down, but who cares right now about since I finally have it. This is the tower right near the 5 freeway and Red Hill in Tustin. J

Today I was at the Zara clothing store inside South Coast Plaza - a known Sprint deadzone for both voice & data - and to my surprise, I got an alert from SignalCheck Pro that I was connected to Sp

Ya, appears Clear B41 is working again. Picked it up at union station downtown around 430, and currently picking it up during my commute on the train thru OC. Currently on it right now just past the Fullerton station.

Just goes to show how much B41 means to the overall quality of Sprint's network, and how much the additional Clear towers complement what's existing. I spent 30 minutes today with a representative explaining what was happening the best I could before she could confirm there was a problem, in the end she was very helpful.

Agree 100% with how helpful B41 is and the additional Clear towers. I've been doing this commute on the train to downtown for a couple years now, and once they turned on the Clear towers, it really helped. The spacing of Sprint towers isn't too great along the tracks, but once the Clear towers were turned on (with many along the tracks), it was like night and day. Now, it's very rare for me to drop to 3G the entire ride...and the entire ride consists of B25 and both 8T8R B41 and Clear B41.

 

I will say that 8T8R is becoming very prevalent along the route the past couple of months, so that's exciting. It also shows how great B41 unloads B25, because when I'm on B25, it's still very usable. When the Clear towers were down the past few days, B25 was so slow it was to the point where it was pretty much unusable...especially downtown LA. With the OC Clear towers fixed, hopefully that means the downtown LA ones were, because they definitely weren't when I left my office at 4 this afternoon.

Not too shabby considering there are probably at least a thousand people there

Anybody know why there isnt any 800mhz in the LA/OC areas. All of the towers say not scheduled. Is there also a law limiting tower height in OC?

According to the 800 TA site, there was an implementation planning session for Southern California held on April 21st. I was hoping they would post something after the conclusion of the meeting to give us some additional clues, but I can't find anything.

Possible Sprint activity at the mobile station at the corner of Aliso Creek Road and Aliso Viejo Parkway. There are scaffolding on the antennas.

 

This is strange though as the B41 antennas got installed months ago but weren't turned on. Hopefully this time they finish the job.

Chunkyrice broke this news in the LA Metro thread:

 

Looks like San Bernardino Rebanding is delayed slightly.

 

https://www.fcc.gov/document/county-san-bernardino-california-and-nextel-communications-inc

I still don't know if the delay is simply to have an executed cost agreement or if this is also the day that rebanding will be completed.

From the FCC document:

 

"have resolved all disputed issues and are in pre-contract agreement"

 

I'm interpreting this to mean that at the time of writing (May), they hadn't started purchasing/retuning any equipment yet. I'm doubtful that 3 months is enough time to purchase, deploy, and tune all the equipment.

Yes.

I'm writing sprint support but where I used to have LTE my whole trip, now I drop on 7 places! At times my signal will actually go away. The other times I just stay on 3g. I really hope they aren't deactivating clear towers.

My nexus 6 has been screwy with texting. They are delayed and often out of order. It seems like it I'm getting texts in batches. Sometimes I have to wait 10 minutes and then I get flooded with messages from multiple people all at once.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!

      It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
