I love how everybody here is booting up their Wimax devices.   Next press release: "WiMax usage up 765% in November from October!"

Crazy. They have known for years about the WiMax shutdown coming. And most of these 'disadvantaged' customers were added after the sunset of WiMax was initially announced. Mobile Beacon and Mobile

WiMax still alive in SF. Although it wasn't explicitly listed as being shutdown in this round (or any round), it seemed likely.

Yeah. It's strange how it was left off the shutdown list... Last day will be March 31st regardless.

Wimax was shut down around 9am this morning. It seems like the network was shutdown in clusters because I wasn't able to connect to WiMax in San Jose since midnight but in Hayward, the network was on air until 9am.

Big news for the Clearwire market transition to CA from Dayton OH by nowerlater: First the EARFCN was moved after the Dayton Expedience network was shutdown with Cincinnati WiMAX (who even knew Expedience was still alive until the Mobile Citizen court order listing places like Anchorage and Duluth, MN). 

 

Now on Thursday the first CA site came alive (a new B41 site).  http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/6200-cincinnati-market-mapspreadsheet-premier-edition/page-40&do=findComment&comment=471522

Wimax pruning and modification of the Clearwire microwave network has begun in a number of markets, according to FCC records.

Definitely appears dead.  Along with Clearwire sites in my area (DFW).  Right now my M9 will only connect to 800mhz CDMA/LTE.  Used to I had a strong Clearwire 2.5Ghz site here.

My wife at work would get a 1 bar lte b26 signal very deep indoors. Since yesterday she only gets 2 bars of 1x. Wimax shutdown is the cause of this? Is Sprint shrinking their coverage??!

No. It must be something else. The WiMAX shutdown has no effect on other sprint LTE operations (b26 included).

I found I needed to do a profile update.  Then my phone would connect to B25 and B41 again.

Today's the day WiMAX is scheduled to die nationwide at least for all non-protection sites :popcorn:

It appears to be dead here in Alamogordo NM. Could not get a connection. I do believe we were a protected site. Just wish we could get B26.

I asked a few weeks ago about protection sites, but never got a response, so that's why I was very specific in my wording. Some protection sites are still very far from deployed B41 areas. Nice to get some feedback on the issue :tu: I sympathize with you regarding B26 as I am in the same boat being inside the Canadian IBEZ .

Can someone explains what happens now that WiMAX has been shutdown? Within the last half hour here at my house I no longer see Clearwire B41 in SignalCheck but now Sprint 412 with the same GCI that I saw for Clearwire B41 yesterday. Was this to be expected with the shutdown?

      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....
