Now that looks more interesting...

I really wish Sprint would find a way to turn on CA such that L800 could be the PCC and L1900 could be the SCC. I can think of countless cases where the L1900 upload speeds are very slow, but download speeds would really give a boost to a UE that would otherwise only be connected to L800.

Has anyone else seen any traces of upload CA? As of today every b41 tower in my city has it except the only Nokia tower. Some type of low power mode but it's real. 

You just got some acknowledgement from the man himself! Cool sh#t!

Looks like the new I phones will support 2xca upload and 64QAM.. wonder if it makes a different if it's TDD or FDD.
It does say TDD hyprid.. so it looks that it will support it on Sprint 18fff717a79cd2a31daa5098aad9c9e0.jpg

Hybrid means B25/41 CA.

The UL 2CA would suggest that B41 UL CA may be supported. However it doesn't specify if the UL CA is FDD or TDD or both. 
Yup. I don't think that FDD upload CA is available on any Qualcomm modems yet. But B41 TDD upload CA is. So presumably that's what this is.

Arguably, upload FDD CA isn't that important since it usually has plenty of capacity. TDD is where upload is hindered, so it would be most useful there. Hybrid FDD TDD CA will also really help uploads, assuming that FDD is the PCC.

I think I meant to quote tyroned... haha. But yes, agree. And so far all of the CA configurations I have seen show the FDD carrier as the PCC when mixing FDD and TDD.

Can someone tell me if these speeds are UL 2CA? This is the Pixel 2 XL.

Your one of the few here that can actually run Network Signal Guru! This will allow us to see QAM details, MIMO, CA etc..

. Unfortunately, it will require root access.

 

BTW, by your speedtest id guess no, not CA UL. But need Engineering screen to confirm.

My post was meant as satire. The serious question is, does the Pixel 1, 2 (or both) support 2x CA UL?

OH WOW! Totally expected Samsung to be the first! But I guess LG needs this alot more than Samsung does...

Figured it would be one of the two companies but I'm not certain it'll be a flagship. Just like the HTC Bolt was Sprint's first gigabit LTE capable device, this could easily be a mid-range device that has 5G capability as its main selling point. Even Samsung mentioned that the S10 won't be its first 5G capable device.

    • 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?
