To S.ali "Just you wait" yeah Just you wait, and "next year" You will see how far Band 41 has progressed, and you will have just stupid comments to look back on.

In a way his comments are especially ironically dumb since VTel has a section on their website about using VoLTE in 2015 and activating smartphones and other data devices on the network right now. Instead, he goes off half-cocked and gets his facts messed up.

I'll just repost here what I put on the comments:

 

"How is that relevant to Sprint throwing a bone to rural carriers and developing partnerships with them? It would be one thing if these comments were on an article that mentioned Sprint's performance in large cities, which everyone would admit needs work. What I'm seeing is a different Sprint that's willing to cut these sort of deals. Old Sprint would have just cut tail and run like what happened with Pioneer cutting off roaming and signing a deal with Verizon for LTE. Now there's a willingness to work through issues.

 

I'm not saying Sprint's out of the woods by any stretch. They still have a LONG way to go. What I am seeing is a willingness to confront the execution issues that have traditionally held them back."

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      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!
