I'd settle for a 15-30mb connection with a ping below 100 with widespread coverage and getting to keep unlimited data. I could care less if it gets faster than that considering a 15mb connection meets the needs of most people for their home use, and unless you plan on abusing your data plan it should be able to handle anything we do on our mobile devices easily.

I had a Sprint product development employee reach out to me this morning after reading this thread. His message says:   Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

It's roughly 90Mbps for a 20MHz TDD LTE carrier in 3:2 in an ideal world with no time link switch lag. Since there is a lag in performance between switching from up to down link time slices, I think 70-75Mbps is the fastest we will ever see without more MIMO or CA. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see 80Mbps in ideal and perfect situations.

so with sprint saying 50-60mbps are there under promising and over delivering?

clearwire went cheap on the backhaul with wimax so it has to be upgraded

Edit: Jeremy keeps beating me by two seconds!

I'm on it tonight :lol:

if I had some band 41 where I am this wouldn't be a problem lol

I am waiting on NSN firing up some b41 here too. I can't wait to test it out.

Samsung is doing a pretty good job in this area

yeah Samsung has been doing a great job so far. Ecsfb kinda messed with them, main issue I've heard of from them. I'm glad NSN is doing TDD here, hear they should be like samsung .

I've had a hunch that .15 had spark enabled for testing but got disabled in the .17/.23 updates for whatever reason. Thanks! If some more people could flash the .15 baseband to Double check.

 

Edit: if possible try for screenshots too!

So is the consensus ...?

.15 like .17 but with band 41 and 26 but doesn't detect lack of ecsfb...meaning trouble with calls

.17 holds fringe LTE on 25 but no 26/41

.23 best for calls

well I have not yet to have a definite conclusion. The plus of .15 is you don't have to do the prl trick to connect to b41, it seems to like b41, and it does connect to ecsfb lacking sites when they shouldn't. But it is great for LTE hunting. I just am curious to see someone trying to call while on b41 to see if it goes to the closest 1x site, or if it has issues.

 

Also if you need to have phone calls or text come in, stay with .17 or .23

I called while connected to b41 and it sent the call to the closest 1x site. This was from a non co located site too

A quick way to tell if you're connected to a site with ecsfb issues and your phone shows lte is to pull down the notification bar and at the bottom it'll say Sprint if there is no issue or it'll say searching for service if the ecsfb issue is present.

Not really.  I've only seen two real world speed tests above 70Mbps so far.  A 5x5 FDD LTE carrier maxes at 37.5Mbps.  However Sprint advertised peak speeds of 25Mbps.  So this is to be expected.

ok thanks for the info. I am going to continue to see performance for others, In other markets. I hope to see a n5 connect to b26 soon.

was this on an ecsfb site?  So if you're on .15 connected to band 41 on a non-ecsfb upgraded site you can't receive calls but you can still call out?  Did i sum that up right?

no this site didn't have an ecsfb issue. I was just showing calls can be routed from b41 sites back to 1x.

The problem I was explaining earlier is on the .15 radio, if a site is having an ecsfb issue it won't kick you off the site like it should and you won't know unless you check.

Also the site was colocated with Phase 1 B41 that should have been completed in September but i couldnt get it to connect o b41. I was hoping i could get data on b41 and it would have ecsfb.

CSFB needs 1x to cooperate as well. Switching to Band 41 in the same location may not have changed anything.

Then how does a B41 site know what to do with phone calls?

The band 41 site does not need to know anything about routing voice calls.  That is the job of e/CSFB through the MSC (i.e. "switch") and DDC (i.e. "4G core").

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
