37 Mbps on 1900 and 37Mbps on 800.

And the test phones are not regular phones, we're not running shitty OOkla on these things. The test probably pulled from both bands at the same time.

Either carrier aggregation or your test setup is running 10x10 fdd-lte I'd say

Think I set a new speed record, for my devices anyway. This was at Yale and Monaco.

Any and all 31/32/33 39/3A/3B endings are Nokia Mini Macros on Macros typically found on former Clearwire sites. Each mini macro is a stand alone BTS so will have unique GCI identifiers.  For old

Well this site just got upgraded. This was a gmo with legacy panels. Sorry for posting here but my password for premier isn't working. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Could be running 10x10. We really don't get the specs for the phones. They are nasty bricks designed for statistics and information only. They provide the benchmark that we compare a customer phone to. This lets us quickly determine if a complaint/problem is caused by a device or a site. Wouldn't surprise me if it is pulling 10x10, but I can't confirm one way or the other.

It would seem strange to set up benchmarks using a system that the general public will never see. 

 

There aren't any current devices that can use carrier aggregation yet (1900 + 800, or 1900+1900), and Sprint has no plans to deploy a 10x10 FDD (to my knowledge).

Qualcaumn test devices (which I'm assuming Sprint engineers would definitely have access to) would have practically every conceivable setup available to mess around with. Definitely wouldn't surprise me if they're testing carrier aggregation between different PCS blocks considering they are now refarming unused PCS spectrum for additional carriers.

5g perhaps ... :]

No, it would not surprise me either.

Is CSFB available in the Denver Colorado market yet? Thank you kind sir and madam!!

 

In most cases, no, it is not. At least around Denver. Colorado Springs should be good to go.

 

Most sites have not been activated yet, though that should start in the next couple months. Once their respective cluster is accepted into the network, eCSFB should be active, meaning tri-band devices can use LTE.

I guess Santa Claus has a lot of time on his hands to ask wireless service questions now that the North Pole at Chipita Park is closed for the season until May.

I noticed that All NV sites have been added to the NV Sites Complete map. Is this in anticipation of big things happening soon, or just some housekeeping?

Is that in academy and woodmen or downtown where is the 800 mgz lte at?? in the springs??

 

When Merlin says "Happy hunting", it kind of defeats the sport of hunting if he tells you where it is. BTW, the HTC One is not Spark compatible, so you won't be able to find it anyway, unless you have a spectrum sweeper.

Can a site go from NV accepted to lte at the same time?

 

The consensus around here from the experts seems to be that yes it CAN, but that doesn't mean that it WILL.

 

My understanding is that when a site is accepted and when the site has the fiber backhaul available to support LTE are two very different things. So if the backhaul is there and all equipment is installed etc, the site can be brought up with LTE at acceptance.

We had about half a dozen sites go from nothing to 3G/4G accepted in today's update.  Happens all the time.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!

      Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.

      It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip

      By dkyeager · Posted

      T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
