The serving cell info is most valuable one..    On the 6, the FREQ BAND INDICATOR will show what band you are on (25, 26,41).  Yours is showing 1092552756.  And with your speed, you are likely on B41 CA.  Maybe a funky number in the FREQ BAND INDICATOR indicates CA..

 

Keep your eye on that serving cell screen for us please..

 

-- EDIT - the screen I meant was "Serving Cell Info"

Just activated 6s (128GB) - First speedtest while in my work building, LTE only, NO wifi netted 90.45 down!

SRLTE.  This topic has come up in only one of the almost 500,000 posts in The Forums.  And that post was not even iPhone related.  I am surprised.  But I believe that I have discovered why all Sprint

I got 145 down the other day. First time ever having speeds that high.

Run a speedtest or several and then swap to field test. Carrier Aggregation only kicks in after a data session is initialized and it takes a few seconds. 

 

Note his download frequency changed from the first screen to second - he's definitely in an area with second B41 carrier active.

Doesn't matter. Either B41 carriers can be the PCC. The only method I know of for iPhones is if the UARFCN is different from the stated "Downlink / Uplink Frequencies" in field test.

Omg, Sprint literally just added a second band 41 carrier to my home tower 10 minutes ago. Just saw it pop up while sitting here on the couch. Happy carrier aggregation iPhone 6s day!

Peek and Pop is great. I get somewhere close to 200 emails a day between work and my primary gmail address. This is going to make shooting through my inbox a breeze!

I remember when iPhone users were being made fun of for missing out on CA with the iPhone 6. Looks like it's a just in time flip switch for us!

 

Hopefully we'll get 3xCA at this time next year. :)

We're actually not that late to the party this time. I don't care when the first phones with CA came out, I look at when CA was first reported in the wild. It wasn't that long ago--maybe a few months?

I wish I didn't have to be told you must chat with us to complete your activation and of course its taking forever

I'm in that process, with a chat window that says "We apologize for the delay. Thanks for your patience. " over 30 times.

How is the RF performance comparing to the old iPhone 6?  I have the 6S Plus 128GB sitting in front of me, debating to return the phone and going to the $1 lease.  This all depends on the RF performance differences.

iPhone users break the Internet twice a year. You think they'd prepare for this.

As a shareholder, hopefully they did!

I got my phone an hour or so ago. Had to wait for the system to pick up because it was running slow. I was the only one there for an iPhone today.

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By cooltech6597 · Posted

      Been in Japan for the past few days, and I'm about to leave today. Google Fi/Tmus roaming in Japan only had Softbank LTE, so it was pretty slow in busy areas, especially HND (albeit usable in most places). When I got to Osaka, I bought a KDDI native SIM from Aerobile, which is an esim reseller based in Taiwan. With this au/KDDI SIM, I could get NR, and that really improved the network experience here. Even though my phone is missing many ENDC combos here, having b1 + n77 or b3 + n77 or b41 + n78 really helps out with the congested LTE network here. As a bonus, 4cc n257 also works on my s24, and I've reached peaks of 2gbps with it. I'm heading to China today, so hopefully Google Fi supports 5G on whatever carrier they roam on in the mainland. If not, I'll probably be stuck on congested LTE like the first couple of days in Japan.

      Mike, I just noticed on my S22 Ultra when connected to Verizon n261 SCP is reporting it as n257. I don't see mmwave very often and I didn't notice it at the time I was connected to it. Not sure if it matters but I'm on Visible.

      Verizon 5G Coverage

      Here's my personal best, as well as the maximum speed I was able to get over 5gbps USB tethering. Millimeter wave is definitely a lot of fun, and I wish AT&T and T-Mobile would deploy a lot more of it.

      WOW! That's utterly insane.
