Network Vision and Spark EARFCN logging thread


Recommended Posts

Let me see what I can do about a screen shot...

 

That would be great.  But be precise about location.  Said engineering screen cap basically would need to come from St. Louis proper to be conclusive -- because the Chicago MTA extends surprisingly close to St. Louis exurbs on the Illinois side.

I was simply replying to the post above mine that basically the 2nd LTE carrier is more widespread across this region than South Bend.

I haven't seen any reports of a second carrier in the St. Louis area.

Keep an eye on that TX value. I don't have an iphone, so I can't keep an eye on it myself.

I always do, although I'm not sure if I should. One of our knowledgable staff members would know more than me if MIMO would be part of this phase of network vision.

This is my error. First time being outside a Samsung market. Apparently Sector 03 doesn't translate as a 2nd LTE carrier outside of Samsung.  :blush:

41176 no longer restricted to Kansas City, also Zanesville Ohio for their b41 second carrier:

It translates to 1876.8 / 1956.8 MHz which is within the the 30 mhz 1870-1885 / 1950-1965

 PCS B block allocation that Sprint has in East Michigan.

I noticed that 8315/26315 second carrier when I was making a delivery down in Danville a few weeks ago, and I meant to ask about it. That's the same spectrum used in the Chicagoland area for a second carrier. Did the USCC purchase include this area, too?

Either way, does not really matter.  Those are run of the mill band 41 EARFCNs across numerous markets.  So, they do not really tell us anything new, though it is nice to know that New Orleans has two band 41 carriers running, probably 2x CA, too.

    • https://www.lightreading.com/6g/5g-advanced-arrives-with-3gpp-s-release-18 Wonder how long until T-Mobile moves on this? My guess is some by the Galaxy S25 in January or February.
    • 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.
