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

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.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
