If you are getting LTE on a spark device without forcing LTE only mode then it should signal that they pushed the eCSFB update! This means Spark devices can finally see the few B25 towers and the numerous B41 towers in that cluster.

I remember reading up on Sprint is planning to cover 300 POPs during the summer of this year.

How in the hell are they going to cover 300 million when their network barely covers 270.

 

P.S> it's 250 million by mid 2014.

Oh okay, numbers were thrown everywhere. So I'm guessing that California isn't part of that 250 mil?

been lurking on this thread for quite some time when people start complaining over at the sprint forums I try to use you guys as a reference point to find out what's going on in the Sac area. 

 

Just wondering if anyone has any updates for 95660 mainly the Watt and A st area just to satisfy my own curiosity.  

 

I got a text from sprint Jan 21st stating "Over the next month, the new network will be largely completed in your area see new phones blah blah blah reply S to stop"

Possibly upgraded and possibly in the process of having NV 2.0 8T8R B41 equipment deployed. Not sure since no one's checked that area or any tower in that area for over half a year

If there is a location of the tower I can go snap pics of it.

I've posted pictures of this tower September 2013, it had new equipment up. Sponsor thread has all the towers listed on a map. Feel free to get new pics since mine are so old. ane7ysyp.jpgyvu8ugyj.jpg2avyne5e.jpg

Is it reasonable to assume that most of the towers around and in Sacramento have their hardware already installed/upgraded, and it's all just the wait for backhaul?

 

 

If that is the case, time to go torch the AT&T building downtown.

It's waiting for cluster launching which happens when every single site in an area is converted to at least NV 3g. Backhaul doesn't matter for cluster launching NV 3g as they'll use the old backhaul.

I don't want to jump the gun too quickly, but it looks like they have pushed the eCSFB update in Davis, as I am on .23 radio w/LTE and can still receive phone calls.

Are they working on this tower with an expired permit or does this tower have an active permit?

Expired two weeks ago. They're doing it at the absolute last moment that they are probably contractually obligated to.

Looks like there's a micro cell at VA Reno.

 

Looks like it! I don't even recall Samsung having NIDs in the 500 range. Sammy is usually in the 200 range.

It seems like 3G has gotten even slower in the Sac/Roseville/Rocklin area this last week or two. I usually can get a stable .35Mbit or so downloading, lately I am lucky to break past .15. :/

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
