Franklin r850


Recommended Posts

I was looking at them. I need to upgrade my Netgear Zing. Looking at sprint.com I don't think it supports 3g connections. I also dont think it supports 2x CA. When you have time i would be interested to see if how they work.

so far so good. The RF performance is similar to my Note 5, and you are correct no 3g fall back. I need to read up on CA don't know much about the differences, I do need to post a screen shot of signal check of a site near me that speeds increased dramatically from 8mbps to 20mbps on average now.

New, but i do have a business account with 10 lines.

 

Interesting, recently lost an Unlimited Hotspot line because we put it on seasonal standby.  We had several hotspots so luckily those are still on unlimited.  Sprint was unable to honor the unlimited lines even though it was escalated up the ladder.

I recently lost mine. A Sprint rep cancelled the wrong line on me. I was able to get it back at 58.99 a month instead. There must be a plan code somewhere. If you PM me, I will look for the email from the lady that helped me.

How much is the plan you are on and is it still active as of today?

    • I was just in Greenwich, CT doing some shopping and naturally also doing some recording of cell sites in the background on Cellmapper. Specifically I was along Greenwich Ave which is the most dense part of the city. Verizon: Literally didn't work most of the time. Even though their coverage shows the entire city blanketed in 5GUW you'll only be on their nationwide 5G network or LTE if you're anywhere south of Lewis St. Regular 5G (non C-band) didn't work at all. I don't mean it was slow, I mean it didn't pass any data at all. When I opened Instagram it told me "No connection". In a store I was in I even overheard someone asking another shopper if they had service in the store. I immediately knew they were on Verizon. Switching to LTE gave me data although it was slow. In most stores I'd get speeds in the low teens, outside it'd go up to 40Mbps. Above Lewis St. my phone finally connected to n77. On n77 I was seeing ~180Mbps. It seems like the issue isn't backhaul, it's just that Verizon doesn't have any remaining capacity on the LTE side.   AT&T: AT&T was slow but didn't suffer from the same "No data connection" issue that Verizon did. Speeds were in the low teens most of the time and peaked around 50Mbps. My phone hopped between AT&T's nationwide 5G and LTE frequently much like Verizon. Also just like Verizon, north of Lewis St. I suddenly connected to 5G+ which gave me speeds just over 100Mbps. AT&T also at least one small cell along Greenwich Ave for additional capacity and coverage and it's doing wonders for their network in the area. I'd go as far as saying it's probably the only reason they're not in the same situation as Verizon.   T-Mobile: Not to sound like an ad for the company but I was really blown away by T-Mobile's performance here. T-Mobile is collocated on the same towers as Verizon and AT&T in the region but they have an extra site in the steeple a church along Greenwich Ave that they've upgraded with n41. As a result, T-Mobile not only has the strongest signal indoors and outdoors, they also have the fastest speeds by a long shot. Nowhere along the commercial strip did I drop below 500Mbps. Indoors I was seeing over 300Mbps and outdoors I peaked at over 600Mbps. For the sake of testing I switched my phone to LTE and saw speeds of 180Mbps indoors.  
    • This site, along with T-Mobile eNB 307360, don't have B41 live, but do have n41 live. Seems like the latest T-Mobile convert sites don't broadcast B41 at all.
