I have to tell you all I am near tears right now.  I am so stoked that Marcelo listened to us, directly.  I am sure he listened to all the feedback he heard.  But I believe S4GRU was influential in th

I'm still shocked and amazed how successful S4GRU has been in staying online, remaining relevant and keeping quality members and staff all with member donations from a relatively small pool. When we

Maybe he's outside of the city limits. He'll tweet as soon as he's back in town with a data connection.

If it's live I surely haven't noticed any difference.
Neither have I. I've confirmed that it's being used via NSG, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. I suspect backhaul is the bottleneck.

It's possible, speeds are still the same today as they were this time last year. Perhaps a bit slower.

What are your median speeds, just out of curiosity? Are you still using the S9+?

You need fairly clean signal to take advantage of 256QAM. I find it more useful on L1900 than L2500. 

If you're seeing absolutely no bump in speed, even in strong/clean signal areas, I would guess backhaul is the bottleneck.

So 256QAM is on both B25 and B41? what about B26? I assume it's the backhaul that is the bottleneck for sure.

It should be although I haven't seen it. I never connect to a clean/strong enough L800 signal to check. The network is really aggressive about moving me up to the highest band available.

Portland market S9+ here and haven't noticed any speed difference with 256 QAM either.   I would agree that perhaps speeds are a bit slower than a year ago here as well.

For those asking about qam. Does everyone for that cell sector use 256 qam? (in range of or phone support) If not your the only one going to see the 33% increase. So your old speedtest x 1.33. Examples 1Mbps to 1.33 Mbps or 5Mbps goes to 6.5 Mbps. Another would be 20 Mbps to 26 Mbps all within margin of error with speed test. That gain starts to go away fast as people use more data.

Where qam even massive mimo help is large events. Otherwise you have people on the fringe with weak signal weaking their effectiveness.

Then the next day i randomly do a speed test and get 274 mbps down during evening commute.  Speeds must be related to backhaul provisioning at each site.

With Trump tweeting this, it appears to be a positive on the Sprint - T Mo merger.    Thoughts?

Trump tweets are somewhat meaningless to most outcomes, but, to me it signifies a trend of moving towards a future where deploying the next new networks will be met with less red tape.

Looks like The Donald just got a South Korean rollout map. I hope Nokia, Ericsson and co have figured out how to keep the lid on prices throughout all this testing hype. It will be a spicy year for capex by next summer.

Forget 5G.  Now I want 6G.
