Network Vision/LTE - East Texas Market (Longview, Tyler, Texarkana, Shreveport, Monroe)

Really??? can you take a speed test when you pick it up again? I should be going to Dallas soon so hopefully I can test it there.

I would, but the sites here are old clearwire sites and haven't been upgraded to 8t8r and aren't utilizing an upgraded backhaul so I'd hate to under-represent B41. Just wanted to shoot down the notion that the new iPhones don't prefer the spark network. With B41 and the new B26 popping up here, my phone hardly goes to B25.

In dallas ive seen up to 72mbps down, and 15mbps up. Works great in some places, not sp in others.

 

Really?? Wow. According to the sprint website the whole metroplex should have it..

Band 26 Is just now popping up in SA? Wow. Longview (which is a LOT smaller) has had it since early summer.. But I've yet to pick up B41. Heck, We had clearwire in Longview but never got 4G WiMax so I guess those tower will be last to be upgraded to B41 since clearwire got bought out in 2012?

longview and Tyler got band 26 before Dallas. The sites in Longview are clear wire expedience sites, which give a 3G experience. They are setup as protection sites. Once 8t8rs gets installed by Nokia they will be tossed, as most are colocated on sprint sites. But won't happen for several month to a year.

    • I really apreciate no longer seeing n38 for T-Mobile. My s24 Ultra is reporting that Signalcheck Pro is crashing frequently.  It has the latest updates. I do occassional change sims and band preferences. Let me know if you need anything else.   Thanks.
    • Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.
    • Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.
