Does it actually stay there if you start using it? What happens if you cycle airplane mode and then start using it? 'Robert It just flips back and forth constantly. One minute it's on 25 and then it decides to drop to 26 and stop working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember there were certain iPhones that had a preference to stay on Band 26 and not let go, regardless of what the network was telling it to do.

jasonsteele Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Im guessing most likely an iPhone field test bug, but here goes. iPhone XR, shows primary B26 and secondary B41. Phoenix metro (not sure which vendor this market is). Seems like even if it were possible speeds are too high. About 1000 yards from a Sprint Store that probably had a magic box and about 1/2 mile from the macro. Wish I had an Android for stuff like this.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had an Android for stuff like this. 4x4 L2500 at 256 QAM can provide ~280 mbps DL per carrier. Aggregate that with 3x3 L800 and I would be unsurprised by your speeds. Also, interband CA is enabled in Phoenix. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interband CA is not officially live in Phoenix yet, although it very well may be in testing. 1 hour ago, though said: How about Omaha/Council Bluffs/Lincoln? I do not believe it is officially live in those areas yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonsteele Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I do not believe it is officially live in those areas yet. I’ll bet they’re testing, because I’m puzzled as to why I would have B41 as secondary and B26 as primary if they weren’t testing. Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Maybe because B26 upload was stronger? Pardon me for my lack of knowledge...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Makes sense to have B26 as primary carrier since upload transmission from handset to tower is much weaker over B41, yet this preserves B41 download advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro The B25/26+B41 aggregation that we have seen so far has had the B25 or B26 carrier as the primary carrier since there is often more upload capacity available on those bands. Especially where B25 has a 10x10 (or better) channel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dro1984 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) If this were true, wouldn't the Virgin Website indicate so or re-direct you to Boost Mobile? Virgin website is up and running... Brad... you're posting links from Reddit site again. This is not the most reputable. I'm leary of what I read on Reddit. Again... there is nothing in the news-feed anywhere about this or on the company's website. Edited January 7, 2020 by dro1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
