Exactly. Yes, it's tragic but this has NOTHING to do with Sprint's network vision rollout..which is ALL this site is about. We don't need people acting as reporters. We have CNN and myriad other news outlets for that. STAY ON TOPIC!

i don't agree, even though this is a "sprint 4g update" site this topic is in the "general topics" section and even though its not about cellular things it doesn't mean that as a community we can't discuss other things going on.

Thank you sir.

 

 

I bet you both feel really good of yourselves ganging up on me. THis is the Off-topic section of the entire site. Where I am free to post non-sprint related topics. I'm sorry that this was a disappointing thread. I posted this topic 6 hours after the event happened. Not everyone pays attention to the news. This was to inform the users who didn't know this happened. I was just letting others know. That is all.

One of my favorite things about this site in particular is the sense of community that has been built up here. I have been around for quite some time and have seen this site go from just a few dozen people to what it is today. I do feel like I know the personalities of many people on this site. As a community we have gone through a lot. Tragedies are a fact of life. I do think threads like this belong in a community because on this site we are all friends (most of us anyway, there are always a few fire starters) and friends discuss everything, tragedies included. And to say that these unfortunate tragedy threads have nothing to do with Sprint or Network Vision is simply not true. One of the major stories that came out during the tragedy in Boston was the Feds shutting down the cellular network (which was later proved to be false), but the networks simply became overloaded. All cell phone companies have to deal with these tragedies unfortunately and learn a great deal from each an every one of them. Don't forget what 9/11 did to cell AND landline networks. So Even if it sounds corny, I thank Robert for creating S4GRU and developing it to what it has become today and hopefully people stick around long enough to see that it is a great community.

I'm not ganging up on you by any means. I love wireless and Sprint, and love coming to this site. Coming here is kind of an escape from the outside world. It's just irritating hearing the same bad news on every single corner of the internet. However, as Robert states, This is a general thread so i retract my original comment.

Well said my man, I agree with you all the way. 110%. THis site has grown since I've joined. I refer people to this site for information. On sprint's forum, people complain and i tell them to come here and look for more information since sprint doesn't let us know as much as These forums do. I'm thankful for that, I've known tons of people who've had sprint. I told them they should come back because of NV in Fort Wayne. This site got me to stay with sprint through out the nightmares of the service here lol. But it has been worth it, I love teh 4G!

Thanks robert :D and to all those who help the man!(mods too)

I completely agree. Also due to the fact that I work a 12 hour night shift from 6pm to 6am and last night i ended up staying until 8 am. I did not know anything about this until now. Thanks rukin.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By T-MoblieUser207 · Posted

      The DAS at LGA Terminal B actually has n41 at 100+20, but if you are deprioritized, good luck on the busy days, as all the bands are congested, even B41 and n41, with data being worse than 128kbps international roaming. It has SA active for n41 as well. The L train tunnel is actually 80+20 for n41, with SA n41 active. Speeds aren't anything compared to Philadelphia's DAS system that has n41 though. The gig+ upgrades are expanding, as eNBs 894588 (Sprint convert site) and 55987 can both pass 1 Gbps now. Clocked nearly 1.3Gbps on eNB 55987 today.

      Yup 80MHz C-band + 40MHz DoD for a total of 120MHz. They should be pretty well setup post-clearance. — — — — — Famous Verizon site on Atlantic referenced in this reddit post got moved to the top of the building next door. — — — — — Also looks like I mapped a T-Mobile oDAS node eNB 347812 in Brooklyn Heights. Streetview shows it as one of the CC nodes with no antenna on top as of May 2022 but this specific eNB was first mapped this month. I didn't notice that I mapped it until I got home but the range on it is significantly greater than the normal "antenna-less" nodes T-Mobile deploys. I'm wondering if it got upgraded to the new 5G oDAS design but I won't be able to check it out until next weekend.

      I didn't know they had access to 80 MHz of c-band that does change some things then once that's online

      While I've been loath to update my Samsung devices past the May 2022 update to keep the Band Selection tool, I note that it looks like Android 14 is going to add Timing Advance for NR to the API.  (Was looking today as I have another Verizon A42 5G now that I'm going to unlock for T-Mobile, and wanted to figure out if I should let it update or not.)  Since I can technically make band changes from *#73#, on the A42 5Gs, I can probably live without the Band Selection tool if a later Android version adds something useful like TA values. I assume SCP will be updated to support that once it becomes publicly available.  The real question is whether or not the phones will support it.  My S21FE and A42 5G devices do on LTE, but I know the S22 and the A32 5G do not support it even on LTE, providing just zero in that field. - Trip
