There's lots of areas that lack upgrades, thus taking a hit on the network because of the 50% off deal. Tucson Yuma area is one. But I'm just one area. LTE speeds hoover around. .3mbps down.

I called it two days ago. Their plan is to bluff network improvements (small cells cost less and will give use the improvements we need to maintain competitiveness), starve the network (lowering capex) to improve balance sheet (ie pay debt coming due). Short run good ( no default cash positions stay good), long run bad (network starts to have problems again). Markets are forward looking, they know capex is key to sprint maintaining subscriber growth in a way that will grow revenue and free cash flow.

I still see clear conversations, second B25 carrier, 3rd carrier, B26 and small cells going live. Is it going as quickly as everyone would like? probably not. But it's fair to say they are continually upgrading.

About 30 % of sprint markets have 0 band 41 on running

Yes, upgrades are happening just at a slower pace

Upgrades and New Jersey are not really happening that quick

Yup! Here in my market I was told the first 4 towers downtown will be upgraded to b 41 and then later on they will get the rest

Where has the network started deteriorating? Definitely haven't expected that in my area.

plenty of cities where it never got good in the first place. Believe it or not most cities didn't get the love NY did.

I'm not even in NY right now. In fact, I'm not in NY for most of the year. My comment vaguely referred to the northeast corridor from NYC to Boston. I recognize that some areas, namely Eastern CT and western Rhode Island, could use more work though.

Band 10 CDMA

Sprint uses band 10

 

Nope, no such thing as band 10 CDMA2000.

The stock market is not truly forward looking, but I agree people are concerned about their long/medium term network road map. They need to be just a little more forthcoming with how it is going, if at all.

Upstate SC including Anderson/Greenville/Spartanburg is taking a major hit with new subs some areas in Anderson LTE on 25/26 bogs during prime usage but I seen people working on towers so hopefully they are upgrading from just only 5mhz width to 10mhz width are finally go up to B41 I mean it's bad a lot of timeouts etc

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
