T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

Hey, in my backwoods area, T-Mobile has twice the cell sites as Sprint. They use microwave backhaul here, as well as Verizon. All 4 carriers here have issues. I'm not even speaking of my market.

U can't comment on markets u yourself haven't visited.

Don't waste your keystrokes arguing with him -- he feeds on it.  Looking at his screenshot, it is possible that he was on WiFi, not even on LTE.

I understand that "this isn't English class," but, honestly, how hard is it to type the word "you"?

That was a such thing called a typo. And who is talking about grammar this isn't English class. You said T-Mobile speeds are slowing. I posted a speed test of a T-Mobile line getting faster speeds JUST on band 4 than I saw Sprint or AT&T on multiple bands.

And just because your backwoods area is doing bad it doesn't reflect the use of others either. So can you please stop spreading bs. You are sounding more and more like a fan boy every post.

So is yours. Point blank it's too early to tell if BingeOn is having a negative impact on the network.

Now back on topic I see nobody has said anything about those 20x20 band 4 speed tests.

Wow it's amazing how wrong u is bro. This is just 20x20 b4 alone. No CA either.

Was that your speed test because someone posted that screenshot on Howardforums as well?

I knew I saw that test before on reddit. The person that posted that speed test was likely one of the only people on that sector. T-Mobile is increasing backhaul across the NYC market and they recently upgraded to 20x20 AWS but that speed test is not indicative of what speeds are like across the entire NYC market. Most areas are not that fast at all.

 

 

I can find areas in certain cities where I can pull 100Mbps+ speed tests too. Doesn't mean that the entire city is that way.

I may believe it's possible in already highly populous areas, but in my corner of suburbia the theory of BingeOn bringing the network to its knees (or just slowing it down) is absolute bunk. I took a phone with a T-Mo SIM out with me today and witnessed no less than 20 Mbps and peaked at 81 Mbps, with an average around 30-50 Mbps.

 

Even if "everyone" is suddenly watching crap all the time, the network can handle it here...

 

I'll have to test in the city when I go there next.

 

What ought to be more worrisome is everyone being upgraded to unlimited for three months. Word gets to the masses about that and look out.

That's right! Regardless of whether they add YouTube to the their CringeOn manifesto, we still have to start popping the popcorn for December 1st and their Unlimited Throttle Deprioritization nonsense!

 

Oh that's going to be good. Just wait until the end of next month. I bet we'll be picking a best horror story post of the day every day. 

 

Maybe we should start a new thread to try and be somewhat decent to this one.  :D

Wait...what did I miss about this free 3 months of unlimited data??

Xodium is one of the bigger pro-Tmo people on there. That is what is surprising to me.

 

On a side note, what is your issue with VZW? As much as I don't care for their business practices, they are still the gold standard for around STL and Southern IL, frankly for most of America from a network POV. While I wish Sprint worked in Chester, there are worse things than being stuck on VZ here.

You may want to take a look at punctuation rules again, friend.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.
    • T-Mobile UScellular agreement links from SEC filings: https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/821130/000110465924065665/tm2415626d2_8k.htm Look inside for main link. Credit mdav-dos1 on reddit
    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
