Going through downtown up to Sac State, still had old NID broadcasting, but saw the switch at about College Greens to the Samsung NID. It's starting to switch over. :)

All that's left is downtown. Practically every site south of 50 to Elk Grove has been confirmed by me or someone else.

Sure feels like a few years but yes all remaining Samsung clusters are being worked on now and will be done in the next 4-8 weeks. 

 

It's mentioned in this post by Robert to S4GRu sponsors. 

I just re-upped my sponsorship after lapsing. While waiting for the permissions to kick in, I wondered if I could ask about Natomas progress. About a week and a half ago the estimate was "4 to 8 weeks" before the City of Sacramento sites would cluster launch. It appears work is progressing at an impressive pace right now -- do we think that estimate is still accurate?

I've seen a lot of screen shots like that in recent days but I'm afraid I don't know what they mean. I'm not a total noob but it's kinda hard to keep up with some of the technical jargon in this thread -- lots of acronyms and obscure references and people being excited, so I tend to think "that's good news -- even though I don't really understand why (yet)." I work in IT but not telecom (although I worked in telecom back in the '90s).

I'm pretty sure "title" (the words under my avatar photo) and permissions in the site are maintained separately and are not always in synch.

NID = Network ID

 

Samsung always runs a NID of 2xx. Screenshots have a nid of 230 which means they're running on the new Samsung equipment.

 

Legacy lucent equipment have a NID of 5.

No, they are in sync. 

I assumed they weren't in synch because you guys upgraded me too quickly, like maybe a minute after I tried to access the secured area. :-) Thanks.

Ah, I think I get it now. I wrote about living in Natomas and you posted info about a site on Bell Avenue, perhaps thinking that was in Natomas. It isn't, but I appreciate the fact that the Bell Avenue site IS within the City of Sacramento and north of the American River, so my take-away is "good things are happening in the north area of the city right now."

lilotimz,

 

It would be cool to have a marked up version of this picture to describe what each of the categories mean and what the values mean.  You could put a link to the picture with the other links in your signature.  This would help people like myself and sharward who are technically-inclined and members of this site, but don't know all the nomenclature.

 

Anyway, just a thought.  Maybe some generous soul will take this on.

 

By the way, I'm downtown, in the middle of a building 12 floors up, metal walls all around me, no windows immediately around me, and getting a Samsung signal (NID: 230) at -82 dBm.

In my twenty minutes commute to arc I have not lost the 1x800 signal even once.

 

Love this 800.

Do you think they have prioritized 1x800 over 1xRTT for your phone to prefer?

Dumb question: should voice call clarity have improved with this update as well? Or is it because I just updated my PRL & profile? I just had a conversation with my wife and it sounded like she was standing next to me.

 

Thanks,

DJK

That's called HD voice. It's part of the network vision upgrade to 3g/1x.

When I spoke to my husband earlier, we were both on our cell phones and he kind of sounded like he was in a tunnel. He said I sounded odd. Might be the HD. At the time, I was on 1x800.

 

But, it was the clearest connection I've had really ever while I'm sitting at my desk at work.

      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....
