Another Overall Performance win for Sprint in 2H via RootMetrics.

 

Boise, ID

 

EDIT: Toledo, OH also got some impressive improvements.

 

 

 

Since our testing in May, Sprint’s median download speed increased from 6.6 Mbps to 23.8 Mbps, and Sprint’s median upload speed increased from 3.8 Mbps to 5.8 Mbps.

I hope the announcement is that San Bernardino rebanding is almost complete and they are firing up b26 in so-Cal/Vegas

I read that there was an update pushed to the note edge in the past few weeks. That could account for the better results and maybe more to come. ????

Yes, hopefully...  It was the first CA device for Sprint and who knows, could be bugs.

 

There are a number of good markets for Sprint in this round of testing so I don't think issues in markets can be blamed on the phone.

I hope they get Vegas in time for CES this year.

I am curious. They're no longer using the Spark brand? Perhaps LTE Plus is their new marketing term? Similar to Verizon's XLTE?

Spark was for the first B41 carrier but it looks like they've stopped using it. It looks like LTE Plus refers to 2xCA with beamforming.

[bmoses]

is beamforming a B41 only option? or will it apply to B25 and/or B26 as well?

Looks like they are using the overall Sprint markets in this article. So that's 77 out of 90ish (I forget the exact number) possible markets.

[transitwatch889]

Is it me or do they have markets that aren't live with CA as being of party to that press release anyway as being markets as listed. Speaking of NYC market of course in my personal interest. Do like this name personally LTE plus, and the removal of spark symbol much cleaner approach hopefully the rate plans reflect this as well.

Yeah that's what I was thinking when reading the article too.

"Our new LTE Plus network using LTE Advanced technology is a significant differentiator for Sprint and our customers. It’s also the foundation on which we will roll out more LTE Advanced capabilities such as 3/4/5-channel carrier aggregation, higher order MIMO and more advanced beamforming, seamless WiFi integration and more."

 

3/4/5-channel CA... Sprint is roaring back!

There's an article on fierceWireless about Qualcomm new X 16 modem with 4 X 20 carrier aggregation.http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/qualcomm-unveils-x16-lte-modem-capable-1-gbps-speeds-using-carrier-aggregat/2015-11-17http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/qualcomm-unveils-x16-lte-modem-capable-1-gbps-speeds-using-carrier-aggregat/2015-11-17

Can current B41 equipment even support higher than 3xCA?? Maybe 3xCA down 2xCA UP?

The difference between the engineering and the marketing department. =p

 

Also LTE+ working well in the UCV..

 

[Paynefanbro]

Sprint finally has a lot of confidence. This is something they've been lacking for years now. The fruits of their labor are starting to take hold and hopefully the general public will begin to realize this too.

The equipment theoretically can and they've done it in test setups to but are not certified to do so. 3xCA downlink carrier aggregation should be the limit for the immediate future at least for consumer usable mobile devices.

Fierce leaked the X16 modem specs earlier today. The X16 supports 4xCA. Devices are set to be commercially available this summer, so it's not that far off.

[NYC126]

Wait a minute I thought  the 8T8R antennas could do 6X carrier aggregation years from now. I remember they did a lab test with Nokia where it showed over 2.6Gbps.

 

 

Regardless Sprint is showing the symptoms of having a bad ass network.

Having the capability doesn't mean it will be implemented. The limit is Sprint's equipment.

For new plans? Now I am so hyped up I am sure I am going to be disappointed.
