The existing network footprint should be pretty much fixed by the end of this year, but perception always lags reality.

This is how people think. Well if Sprint service is bad right here, it must be bad in the entire city. In reality, 90% of the city is covered and you happen to be in an area with 2 towers undergoing upgrades. Oh I'm inside the Sprint store and I have 5 bars and LTE, but the tower is less than .5 miles away. Of course you're going to have excellent indoor penetration. Therefore, all buildings will have great indoor penetration (specifically b25)....Wrong. Which then leads to complains online. (Tmobile is even more familiar with that) on why they had good coverage the sprint store but not in a movie theater. Tricky tricky. 

 

And this is why Triband will be so useful. Most people won't be able to go anywhere without either having amazing LTE, or exceptional CMDA

The Verizon coverage comparison commercials have bothered me for a while.  It bothers me that they claim their LTE network covers 95% of North Dakota & Nebraska, and 90% of South Dakota.  But it's

Possibly. Staff is in discussion -- especially in light of Gigaom's article. Regardless, this thread is top notch.   AJ

That standard boilerplate language could mean the data was culled any time prior to December 5, 2013.  As those in the know will tell you, there are many ways to lie with statistics.   AJ

Appartentlly I have 2 accounts on this site that I totally forgot about, I am unbale to log in to my account I use when I am on my computer so I guess ill post it with this account since I am using my phone at the moment ( live near Rochester, NY I post fairly often, j...............13, I am sure you could find me if you looked (I purposlly left out some of my username on purpose beacuse I dont remember my whole username with out opening a new tab and searching for myself here on my phone....lol)..... Anyways I just got a new phone from work today (8/4/2014), and I had issues with this carrier before and I knew they didnt change since I had them last.  Yes this is a flip phone but even the new smartphones are the same here at my place.... It is a 1X/3G phone the 3G SOMETIMES does show up, but that only happens when I go outside.....

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
