What market are you in? Looks like second from bottom is sprint, also looks like there might be clearwire converted to sprint band 41 second from top. It's a guess on which ones are the other big 3 carrier's cause my market isn't setup like those. I can spot all 4 carrier's here in Colorado. Sorry.

 bottom rack Verizon, then at&t or t mo, then sprint, then clearwire now sprint band 41, but again they're allot of carrier's on this site.  I don't know what other major carrier'syou have over there.

we have all four carriers T-Mobile Sprint AT&T and Verizon. I have all the for AT&T T-Mobile and Verizon have the better reception and service overall but Sprint really lacks over here with coverage.

Well my best guess would be to use signal check pro so you can locate the sites you connect to. It will be a trial an error on finding which carrier is colocated with t mo. Most verizon sites here are very distinct compared to the other carriers. I know I've put pics up of all the carriers here in colorado. Here we are a samsung market for sprint. You will need to check out the equipment section so you can see what sprint equipment looks like and use process of elimination. Some at&t and T mo sites here can have different setups compared to others.

The site is on private property so there's not a whole lot I can do. I obviously can't trespass. Because there's a no trespassing sign near the site.

I know in my area TMobile is suing network-wide upgrades for a very strong possible 600 megahertz launch. I'm not able to tell who's who on that multi-carrier site. I appreciate if someone would help me determine who's TMobile...

The bottom rack in this photo is T-Mobile.

Those look like Nokia RAS active antennas. It’s a decaport antennas supporting 2x2 L700, 4x4 L1900 and 4x4 L2100. The AWS ports are passive, hence the RRU.

Airscale B4/66 radios attached to Nokia RAS.

Interesting I think I saw one of those in northern Iowa. Almost mistakened it for a Hexadecaport, but upon closer look I didnt see the right RRUs.

I would not be surprised if it was t-mobile B71 upgrades, i've found 2 towers with it live in central iowa in the past couple of weeks now.

Seems like early next year TMobile will launch band 71 over here. But then again they have to swap out the gear here.

https://www.t-mobile.com/news/first-600mhz-5g-test

Bellevue, Washington — November 20, 2018 — T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) plans to bring 5G to everyone, everywhere, and together with Nokia, the Un-carrier just took a big step toward making that a reality. The companies just completed the world's first 5G data transmission on low-band spectrum (600 MHz) … and they did it on the Un-carrier’s live commercial network. Low band 600 MHz spectrum is key to building a nationwide 5G network, as it reaches much farther than other frequencies. 

That's certainly a big step forward....

I'm on my way to Denver and been switching on all bands even 12 too... So I guess they do have licenses there....

Does that spot New Mexico have no band 12 licenses?

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
