Network Vision/LTE - Phoenix Market (including Flagstaff, Prescott)

No to the speeds. You are not likely to see a 10x10 PCS carrier anywhere on Sprint. 

 

The second carrier still doubles the capacity of the site though (assuming it doesn't already have B41). So even though peak speeds are still around 37Mbps, the net effect is the same. More speed and capacity for everyone!

I see.  Is Phoenix one of the markets that will get 3x3 Mhz of spectrum allocated for B26 once IBEZ issues are fixed?  This can help remedy the issue of capacity from B26, with the second B25 carrier.

Mexican IBEZ is 3x3 for B26 once rebanding finishes.

I don't think that IBEZ is the hold up in PHX B26 delays.  It's getting Maricopa County to stop squatting on Sprint's spectrum.

That's correct. Unless there is something else that I am not aware of, the IBEZ should not affect the Phoenix metro.

Glad to see B41 chugging along nice in Phoenix, I get connections across everywhere I drive now.  Still no word on Maricopa county and B26?  B26 in my opinion is a must as it gives better building penetration.

B26 would and the last few sites that have had no work done on them being completed would give sprint a very competitive network in the valley. Network densification would give sprint the best network in the valley.

Hey guys!! Does any one know when band 26 will go live in Phoenix AZ.  we have a lot of holes in the coverage  here and I know that will fill it in well. 

Probably something to bring up in the Phoenix Market thread.

Band 26 is being delayed in Arizona due to an 800MHz rebander fighting with Sprint and the FCC. It's been dragging on for a long time, but appears to be finally heading toward a solution. It probably won't be live until the end of the year at the earliest, though.

Let's hope. The network would be really competitive out here with 800 deployed.

is this the fight with APS and FCC?

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
