Clear Outage (Band 41 LTE)

B41 has been down here in Hartford for the past three weeks. It follows me throughout Hartford, Manchester and Windsor. This has been such a pain as band 41 seems to be the band with the highest priority and my phone always picks it up which leaves me with a gray LTE icon that won't push any data. Switching to CDMA was my only option for a stable data connection.

Can you update your profile to your current device? That can help in identifying problems. Thanks!

I was in Newington on August 15 and had B41 running just fine. Sure it's not your phone somehow?

I doubt it. Maybe I'm going to far back. It's probably only been two weeks but seems much longer.. Have you been connecting to band 41 with no issues as of lately? I doubt it's my phone. I have so many tickets open its not even funny.

Yes and I have, both profile and prl. I even did a ##786# reset and almost had a non working phone because band 41 wouldn't push data to provision the device. Had to wait till I got to an area where 41 wasn't available to do the hands free activation successfully.

HA!! I meant your profile on this site. It shows Galaxy Note 2 at the moment. I do not believe that is correct. What device are you using?

No problems, but I'm home from my trip now. I was only in Connecticut for a day and had B41 for much of my time there.

Oh OK cool. I've had this phone since release and always had a stable connection to band 41. I don't see how my phone could just crap out on one band but work fine on the others. I'll see if I could get my hands on another tri band phone and see if the problem exist on it sometime soon.

Well here's my update. I guess something went wrong with my device when the ota enabling CA pushed through. After trouble shooting and finding out it was my device not the network, Sprint was nice to send me a replacement free. Look at what this new bad boy pulled my best so far. I almost had a heart attack. Been enjoying CA for almost 2 months now! It's pretty wide spread from Hartford to Manchester ????

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
