They really need to get this guy out front more. He is obviously knowledgeable then proceeds to explain this upgrade to a group in such a concise manner, even journalists can understand it well. 

John is funny and charismatic with the crowd, he has been with Sprint for so long. Marcelo went from surprise new CEO, awkward Wall Street talking head appearances, to selling a merger. No one is really sure what his customer facing role is outside of rich people poasting on Twitter.

Another great presser from Dr. John.

Thanks for finding this NextgenCPU!

Yeah, John is great. I do miss Guenther, but John really stepped up to fill the role.

That's on FDD to get 150 Mbps. B41 is TDD. This is just testing

Then what is the max speed of B41 don't forget the increase from qam.  Qam is not an exact science it pushes symbol rate until failure based on signal strength

2x2 Mimo with, 64 qam is 100 Mbps per carrier so 300 for the 3 that are online. Higher qam and Mimo increases that. 256 qam and 4x4 Mimo is gigabit LTE

So where does it say the test was limited to 64 QAM? 256 QAM is live on 4G but not in these 5G tests seems strange? Also it is 112.5 Mbps not 100Mbps for 64 qam.

Not with the current configuration Sprint has in place on TDD. More of the bw is on download so it's 100 Mbps.  I also never said the test was 64 qam, that's why bandwidth was originally at. I'm also not sure where your getting the 112 from? When they first did B41 it was 80 down 17 up. Then they changed the configuration to 100 down 9 up

Sir you are incorrect. It went from 82.3 per carrier using 2x2 mimo + 64qam on configuration 1 and configuration 2 brought it to 112.5 per carrier using the same way and mimo.

I will be in the 5G zone of coverage starting this June...  had previously thought getting a 5G phone would be useless until 2020. 🤔

All four of those speed tests in the last tweet are over 700Mbps.
Wonder when they start testing 5G in Samsung Markets?

Chicago is a Samsung market for 5G and it’s already on-air and being tested/optimized for commercial launch in May.

Good point didn't think about that. Lol

Not terribly surprising, but Sprint is sitting out the 24 GHz millimeter wave spectrum auction after also sitting out the 28 GHz auction.

Boy Sprint is really better big and putting their faith in their 2.5 OR they rather T-Mobile bid on with the impression the merger is going to happen.

If I'm not mistaken the COO mentioned that they are participating in these auctions under a different name.

Thanks for the reminder. You're absolutely correct, ATI Sub LLC.

What’s the advantage/reason for this?

Not 100% sure, most likely something related to asset management, thats always a complicated subject, considering they are in the middle of a merger that might have something to do with it.

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
