Sprint 3x carrier aggregation on a 8X8 MIMO would bring 1.3 gigabits speeds. That was Hesse and Saw presentation in Chicago on June 2014. That is what the 8T8R antennas are for.

Thats not happening anytime soon.

None of Sprint's devices actively make use of the 4x2, which can double throughput.

 

No, if a device is 2x2 MIMO capable, then it is 4x2 MIMO capable.  The four antennas/streams are purely a base station enhancement, spatial diversity to assist greater 2x2 MIMO utilization.

These potential speeds are great and all, but what about more rural coverage that includes lte? Hell lte speeds at 2 or 3 mbps is okay. The complaints i here from past customers of sprint is "voice coverage was ok, but data is 3g or unusable when you you leave the city".

I guess it depends on where you live. Sprint has a very large amount of rural lte in florida.

While New York is far from perfect when it comes to rural coverage on Sprint, they still cover something like 94-96% of the population even though it looks like they have coverage almost nowhere. It seems obvious that Sprint wants to hit every person before it hits every place.

I'm generally happy with Sprint, except for the few times over the last two months I've had issues.

 

That one speed test just consumed 126 MB, about as much "unlimited" data as I use in an entire week.

The website is down for maintenance. Prepping for the iPhone 7 series release it seems. OK then, typing in www.mysprint.com prompts with a friendly maintenance message.
 

WE'RE GETTING READY
FOR THE BIG EVENT.(!!1111)

i-phone 7 pre-order begins @12:01 PST

Then capital tier trolls you by not letting you login. Only lets you go to i-tunes to get Sprintzone app, on my end anyway. Way to utilize your server update time.

I see what you did there S, pretty smooth  :)

Just a fair warning to SERO users out there -

 

I put my plan in seasonal standby for a few months, went to take it out, and they can no longer add back my SERO Premium 500 plan.  Apparently they deleted it from the system on August 1st.  It's been replaced by SERO Unlimited for 60/month.

 

There is a bunch of conflicting info on what triggers a change but just a heads up.

 

Had a good run on postpaid sprint.

Apparently this graph is from Sprint.

Couple of the small things are kinda funny.

 

Excellent! An updated spectrum chart. I really would like there to be more of these, especially just like this but covering individual markets in this form.

This is how T mobile manages to "maintain" their network speeds. I believe most folks are probably unaware that this net neutrality-killing feature is even on.

 

My point is, just like this guy (who is probably more tech savvy than the average consumer) is getting taken for a ride.

 

Best part, Speedtest.net is of course excluded from any sort of throttling.

So as long as you haven't temporarily suspended your line or anything the SERO Premium 500 plan should still be in place?

Correct, but word is, if you so much as change the phone to something else on your plan, you have to move up to the new SERO.  ($10 more per month)  Even if you bring your own device.

Hmm so that sounds like even upgrading your phone with a new 2 year contract will put you up to the new SERO.  I will have to find out in 2017 when my contract ends.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
