But there is no t mobile signs or anything at the base anymore. There was not that long a ago. This site is at 10300 federal in federal heights. It's weird how I'm like less than a mile away from this site bit I connect to one that is over a mile away and my friends who has t mobile gets no service in my basement and not much of a signal outside. I was just trying to get knowledge on what exactly was what and who's on this tower by my house. Thanks for the response. Also is the Nextel equipment off this tower now?

Mikey_Bloop Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 HOLY SWEET JESUS THAT IS FAST Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk What exactly is band 41? Is that another term for sprint spark? And what streets in San Bernardino were you getting those insanely fast speeds? I live in Fontana and there is a tower about a mile away from me on cherry and I get 1-2 bars with 1-7mbps down and about 1up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 the bottom rack is cricket. but there is a sticker on the door that says nextel. if i remember correctly i believe it was right where cricket is. Not for sure. I wonder why they would take the t mobile logo off. Also its owned by castlecrown now. Is there a way to view the towers on their sites? Same with american towers. I also there are two towers next to I25 freeway and about hundred yards a part but dont show on anntenna search. There not the normal branch looking towers its a mono poll. One tower si alone the other is connected to a building with the cabinets on roof, also there is cherry picker and a white trailer next to it. Im just curious on whos they are. Not sure you or anyone can help but worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DigiClaws Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Texas seems to have the largest footprint of native Sprint coverage just by eyeing the map. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansltx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm not seeing Band 41 quite yet in my neck of the woods. Then again, the Premiere Sponsor only map tells me that that's about par for the course at this point Maybe I'll venture outdoors and see if any other ex-Clear sites are broadcasting TD-LTE now. My phone is configured to latch on when it sees it, as far as I can tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansltx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Texas seems to have the largest footprint of native Sprint coverage just by eyeing the map. Please correct me if I'm wrong. To be fair, Texas has the largest footprint, period, of any state that has Sprint native coverage. So your comment follows naturally Seriously though, there are areas here where you won't get service on Verizon...not even roaming. But Sprint roams in those areas. Or maybe it doesn't, because there's no CDMA set up at all. AT&T is more or less everywhere, though as a voice network I can't stand their AMR-HR codec (Verizon is almost as bad in some areas). It's interesting though that Sprint may not have the fastest network everywhere (though in some areas they do), but they out-cover Verizon because they'll roam where Verizon won't. And their native coverage is pretty solid even without SMR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCandroid Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 LIES! Sprint's coverage map says I am in a Spark zone in Socal. Well, I can't get my N5 to connect to anything other than Band 25. Any tips for the Socal market and getting a N5 to connect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UndeadNexus Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm almost entirely surrounded by B41 and have NEVER once for a second connected to B41 on Nexus 5. I don't know if this will work for you but when I tried connecting to B41, I'd set my N5 to Global or LTE, update PRL and it would connect to B41.

jj14x Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Is this a serious post? Your Nexus 5 is not a Spark device -- not yet. AJ Wouldn't enabling the two LTE bands have the same effect? (well, minus the "spark" icon) Or is there more to it? In Dallas, is there a way to see what areas in Dallas can expect to get benefit from this now? Sprint.com/coverage doesn't really say much about spark coverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As B41 is overlay is under Clearwire right now, I would bet that the towers for wimax are the most likely. Also in the Premier section, we have every clearwire tower and what phase (1 or 2) it is scheduled to be upgraded. Just fyi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
