Well.... I don't know who skids are, but none of this is really news... and this thread is way longer than it should be.

If it occurs every 10 years or so, I should be able to recall at least two periods in my life where this had a noticeable effect, honestly I don't :) I think at worst we would maybe notice the northern lights farther south and possibly some small errors in unhardened \ unshielded \ non ecc electronics but momma earth does a good job of keeping us safe when we aren't too busy destroying it. We frequently hear about this kind of huge impending doom ™ but honestly I am far more concerned by the routine tsunamis, earthquake, hurricans, tornados, cyclones, centipedes and tang than CME's \ solar flares etc. If at worst it knocks out power it's no problem. We routinely turn off power \ sewerage \ water for impending natural disasters so we are prepped anyway. Life on a volcano in the middle of the pacific ;) A few hours without FB won't kill me, now a few hours without being able to check for building permits, thats another matter!

 

iirc it was actually the opposite was rumoured to be causing impending problems, that we 'may' be headed towards a repeat of the maunder minimum of the 17th century? I think they were only talking about a few degree dip but for perhaps a hundred years. No idea if they were right, I'll leave that to the hexpurts.

Holy shit I'm bored.

 

Just read this thread because I have nothing else to do....

 

But seriously, this thread is about 3 times as long as it should be.

 

On the rich man's HTC, sipping on some Moonshine.

Well 10 and 20 years ago. Wireless hardly existed and technology compared to now has evolved like crazy. The one CME that is going to hit earth could cause problems with wireless objects.

radios have been around for a while now...  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi

 

whether its a phone or a ham set the principles are the same... your phone is going to be fine and if the tower is properly grounded so will they..  

 

so make a new tin foil hat everything is going to be fine

I have a nice line of phone cases manufactured from think gauge aluminium on ebay should anyone feel the need, they come in two finishes, dull and shiny ;)

 

As regards radio's 10 years ago. I shall preface this with the disclaimer that I believe physics was invented by satan himself for the sole purpose of making my life a living misery but something I have on occasion been forced to comprehend as a researcher and an engineer before coming to my senses and 'retiring' to a beach and parenthood. 

 

It is true we are likely to see an increase in solar activity and that various types of radiation will come close to earth. The earth is naturally protected from radiation to a large degree by the magnetosphere. What we would notice is an increase in the size and frequency of the auroras (i.e. visible closer to the equator) and some disruption to short wave radio transmissions which are significantly distant from cellular frequencies. In all of recorded history that has been a single instance of a power grid being knocked out in the late 1980's and there is a strong chance it was coincidence given that the rest of the world, including some rather spit and string esque power grids in 3rd world countries, or even the northern USA \ Alaska were fine and they had geographic proximity.

 

It genuinely is not something to worry about, at the absolute worst the power may go out which is something the vast majority of us prepare for anyway due to other far more frequent natural disasters. 10 years ago I was happily using 3g on 2100mhz, prior to that I was using edge \ gprs (I assume on bands like 700\800\1500 ??), the phones didn't go out (except due to drunk farmer on tractor related incidents), the power didn't go out (see farmer disclaimer) and no ones cojones got friend :)    

 

If you are worried then by all means be prepared, at least to lessen the impact of power loss which the majority of people on this forum should probably do anyway. Theres little you can do about communications, you can protect your equipment (electronic that is ;) ) but really there isn't much point. The reality is that if you are far enough north you will probably get some nice light shows and that is it. 

 

Should you be in space at the time, feel free to worry.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
