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.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
