No reason to do that. 

In regards to your other post, you quoted me saying that all TDD-LTE (Band 41) sites must have the same Upload/Download ratio configuration. That means the peak upload and download speeds per carrier on all sites will be the same. It implied nothing about the coverage of each individual site, only the configuration of the signal on the site.

Ok so it helps keep the experience uniform across the network when it comes to upload speeds.

That's the result, but that is not the reason. If different configurations are used on sites that are even remotely close to each other, it creates enormous interference and could cause major network issues. Remember that TDD-LTE uses the same channel for upload and download, while FDD-LTE (Band 25, Band 26) uses separate, dedicated channels for upload and download. The TDD-LTE (Band 41) channel switches between download and upload many times a second. Those changes must be synchronized or it causes the aforementioned interference.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
