According to my phone. What's the theoretical limit for 10mhz b25 on upload without 4x4 mimo and 64qam uplink?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I was on Facebook and I follow WTOP, who linked to this article: https://wtop.com/tech/2018/08/data-doctors-dont-believe-smartphone-signal-bars/ I, of course, had to post about how many inaccuracies were in that article. Who writes this garbage? - Trip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) I appear to be roaming on T-Mobile. http://imgur.com/a/kxLrRqz Data works and everything. Odd that it's using a Clear PLMN. - Trip Edited August 4, 2018 by Trip Fixed the link. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 It hasn't tried to kick me off. I don't normally do speed tests but I'm with a... slower person at the store. http://imgur.com/a/VjWBnhn Standing in the Wal-Mart in Farmville, VA and the signal is highly variable. - Trip 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Just now it tried to drop me to eHRPD then Sprint LTE 1900 and then finally back to T-Mobile. - Trip 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Back from the store. As a comparison, to show that it's T-Mobile, here's a screenshot of my T-Mobile phone from the parking lot (left it hidden in the car while we were in the store): https://imgur.com/a/EPJ9wjd You can see that it's the same other than the PLMN. On the way home, it connected to a different T-Mobile site on the back roads, but it appears that Band 12 is not currently accessible to it. - Trip 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tybo31316 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Trip your findings are amazing. I can’t wait for this to take effect in my market. Nothing like getting LTE in more places. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingenium Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Interesting! So it would seem TMobile may be broadcasting the Clear PLMN? Maybe it's part of the roaming/integration plan? Also interesting that it still shows as roaming, even though it's using a "native" PLMN. I would have assumed that was used to determine if the R indicator should be shown, but apparently not.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it will switch to AT&T roaming instead of going to 3G. I had this happen in Berkeley, CA few weeks ago. Presumably it's a way to make VoLTE more reliable. Ideally they would have it prefer roaming LTE vs native 3G only while on a call, unless the roaming doesn't count towards your roaming allowance.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkyeager Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Perhaps they are using the Clearwire PLMN because it is B2 rather than B25.Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingenium Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Perhaps they are using the Clearwire PLMN because it is B2 rather than B25.Sent from my LG-LS997 using TapatalkBut why not just use the T-Mobile PLMN? Unless this is how they decided to control which sites allow roaming? It still seems odd though, no other roaming partners do this to my knowledge. Unless that's the way T-Mobile implements roaming for some reason, by using a PLMN of the partner.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk PLM-NIDS can be used to prioritize or have special eNB side configurations for connected devices. It's why Magic Box's / LTE UE Relays have a specific PLMNID they connect to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Following up, my phone also seems much more likely to connect to and hold US Cellular LTE roaming now. I went by a tower with both Shentel and US Cellular on it, it happened to latch onto US Cellular LTE first (while connected to Shentel 1X) and held it all the way past the tower until I was just going out of range; saw just the LTE 800 briefly before moving onto the next Shentel site. - Trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
