I do not. I looked at a mall out here last weekend where you can't get B41. So it gets B25 so I checked inside a Sprint store was not on B25 CA.

I have seen it in Florida around Spring Hill/Port Richie area and it makes a big difference compared to just two 5x5 blocks.

Got this in the Menards parking lot in Hutchinson. My current best speedtest over an LTE network.

I think this is the fastest Result I've gotten. Order the S8. Can't wait to play with that bad boy.   Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

My Minneapolis sprint experience over the last two days was good but not great. My hotel had 3xCA with killer speeds, but the wedding venue was barely holding on to b26. Everywhere else has been solid. Never had unusable data.

The only difference in speed would be if you are in a spot where previously you could not maintain a B41 connection, but now you can. HPUE only affects the uplink signal, not the downlink so it won't have any impact on speeds. The boost to the uplink signal should allow the device to use weaker B41 signals the those without HPUE.

Good to know.

I agree. My area is one where Sprint is to late for Spectrum swap. Att has been 20x20 since last summer. TMobile has contigous 20x20. Not sure about VZW the EARFCN is 1150 not sure what that is at least 10x10. Sprint has 2 5x5.

I live off 41st and Chicago Ave South Minneapolis and I'm never connected​ to B41. Only b25. Do you know why that is?

Do Sprint have any small cells in Minneapolis?

I'm there often. Park Place I like.

Hope I get that speed when I upgrade this year.

So the tower next to my house went down after a storm we had last night. It started roaming on Midwest Wireless. I could only use the phone and text.

Don't we get data access when roaming?

What phone are you using? Midwest wireless is Verzion. Should get data.

Note 5. 

Yes I figured it was Verizon as that's the biggest tower in town. And of course they have generators which Sprint doesn't. Don't know when Sprint tower will go back online.

 

Not the first time this tower has gone down....

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are as many Link5G sites as there are reserved small cells from franchisees in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them. — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
