I was in Wayland at Gun Lake yesterday and SCP reported B26 twice. However, both occurrences were just seconds before dropping to 3G

Looks like we've got 10mhz b25 LTE in West Michigan.   Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Band 41 went live yesterday around 50th and US131, south of Grand Rapids.   Unless I'm forgetting someone elses post, this might be the first time Band 41 has been spotted inside the Grand Rapids me

There is some B26 active in that area.  About a month ago I was connected by US 131 Motorsports park.  I was at the gas station off the exit there.  Of course I didn't think to get a screenshot.

I've seen some Band 26 just recently start to appear. (Single site in Granville, single site in GR)

 

No Band 41 anywhere here. I suspect almost all our beautiful Clear sites will be binned without replacement.

B26. Greenville, MI. Lincoln Lake and M-57.

 

I have drove through Greenville as well, and I have stayed connected to 26 the whole way through. The network is congested at the moment as there are a lot of people in town.

Some sort of a massive Mobile data issue that appears to be affecting the Lansing MSC.  At home in Portland, I was connected to the Kent St. site on the Grand Rapids MSC, everything was great.  Driving into work, the Grange Rd/Eagle site is the first on the Lansing MSC, and I've roamed or bounced crazy connections ever since.  No data, inconsistent texting/calls.  Only roaming works for sure.

 

I've seen my 1X connection bounce anywhere from Fenwick and Caledonia via 1X800, Verizon romaing, a site in Dewitt, East Lansing, Holt, etc.

 

With all the bouncing around, I assume that Network Ops is working on it.

 

Calls to first level CSR have resulted in no assistance.  Lots of tweets to @sprintcare, but no good responses.

This exact thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago in Grand Rapids. I was bouncing between roaming and super weak, unusable 1x800 across three super-distant sites. (Although all on the GR MSC)

 

Then, three days later, the tower went live again.

 

Good news: 800mhz LTE went live on that tower when it lit (wasn't there before).

Bad news: They turned down the power of 1900 LTE. (Or adjusted / tilted sectors, or whatever). But they only touched it slightly.

 

This may or may not have any bearing on your situation. But just thought I'd let you know, your not the only person experiencing that kind of thing.

Just saw a tower crew in the Sprint rack of the site on Grand River Ave and Ingersoll Rd. They had some equipment but I couldn't tell if it was new antennas and radios or what. I'll keep an eye out over the next few days as I drive by it daily.

I counted eight cables coming off the antenna, this is the first B41 equipment I've seen in Lansing

They're called jumpers by the way and there's 9.

 

One for calibrated mini-dim and 8 for tx/rx mini-dim.

It was foggy this morning and dealing with sun/traffic, once I got past six and knew there were still two cables, i focused back on the road ;)

 

I have my DSLR with me, so I might get some pics on the way home, just depends on timing because the boy has a soccer game.

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.

      Saw that for a while. Now back to n25 + n71 + n41-100Mhz + n41-90Mhz.

      S23 and S24 (at least ultra versions) have 4xCA NR. I currently have n41+n41+n25+n71 most places I go.  I think select devices have 2xCA upload but I do not think it is in widespread use yet. CA is still mostly download focused.

      If they use n41 + n41 2CA, people that are somewhat distant from the cell site will have an OK download but the upload will be a disaster.  Upload capability on b-41 was always a disaster on the old Sprint Network.   Now, with n25 + n41 combination, even the more distant users have a more decent upload.  I see n41 + n41 + n25 now with my S22 and I understand that we will see 4xCA with newer phones in the future.     I also see n41 + n41 + n71 sometimes too. Also some other combinations of 25, 41, 71.  I would think that eventually we will see AWS paired with n41 too.  What I am not sure of is ----  when I see 3xCA on my S22, I can see the 3 channels involved in the download but I am never sure just what I have on the upload. I do not think I have 3xCA on the upload.

      I don't know enough about the nuts and bolts of NR to know the answer, but is there a reason they're not doing two overlapping 100 MHz n41 carriers and using selective resource shutoff to make each one 97 MHz?  Thus making use of the full 194 MHz instead of leaving 4 MHz unused as implied by the current standard 100+90 configuration? - Trip
