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

Good results for Sprint. 2nd place, even in speed!

This is awesome to see:

Showing significant improvements compared to our testing in October, Sprint’s median download speed increased from 2.3 Mbps to 12.5 Mbps, and Sprint’s median upload speed increased from 1.6 Mbps to 6.3 Mbps.

I'm on TMO but I think I'm objective and recognize the fact that sprint will inevitably surprise TMO in speeds.

 

But when you try to explain this to TMO fan boys… it's like trying to convince someone their religion is wrong. No go.

Ok but what?

Docsis? Anything else has to be fiver or microwave + fiber.

The type of backhaul Sprint fired Centurylink over ie. subpar and underperforming bonded copper.

A strong and healthy tmobile and sprint is needed to keep Verizon and Att in check. That is all that matters.

What's the typical max speed for that kind of backhaul?

In ideal situations, it can run 30-40Mbps to the demarc at the RBS. But then split that between three sectors. 10-12Mbps per sector before any load doesn't sound very good.

Do you think then WHEN that link 'melts', they'll do proper fiber?

They aren't using it.  Sprint rejected it.  It is purportedly one of the causes of the CL backhaul delays.  Sprint is only using fiber from CenturyLink.

I didn't know USCC was using bonded copper.  It all comes down to loads.  It may work OK for them in rural areas.  And I think USCC doesn't have the market shares that Sprint or Tmo do.  It may not be so bad for them.  I can't really say.

It's all they can get in some areas. Some areas they serve basically have no fiber within any reasonable distance for FTTT and too remote for microwave from a donor site.

My guess, in most instances, if they can only get bonded copper and beyond the reach of microwave, the site will not be heavy traffic'd anyway, and the bonded copper will work fine.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
