Kind of odd. The towers near me have been running 1x800 for the last month but they just showed up on the map as accepted today.,

Not odd.  Common, actually.

1x800 acceptance reports don't come with the same frequency as 3G and 4G acceptances reports. Generally only once or twice every couple of weeks, and generally in big batches. In most Samsung markets, when a cluster goes live, 1x800 goes live as well. It just doesn't get reported at the same time.

Anyone else having trouble connecting to Band 41 today?  Prior to today, I've picked up Band 41 around Aurora, DTC, and, what appeared to be, a quickly expanding region of the southern metro area. Today I get no 4G, even when I switch to LTE-only mode.

Wondering if this is device-specific or a network change?

I am sitting at my desk at work and my phone just changed to Lte for about 2 minutes, then reversed back to 3g. Someone is testing something somewhere!

Robert or dkoellerwex I presume we are close on our cluster site acceptance, based on the site acceptance reports I am seeing on other posts... Additionally I am seeing 4gLte turned on and off on my phone intermittantly.. Seems like a lot of testing going around. Do you agree? I am not asking for a start date. Thanks for all of the info you privide us with. Santa....

When a cluster goes live, how many sites do we think we might see go live?

A cluster. So assuming a lot. I know that's not much help. But I would think that almost all of those in progress sites would go live.

I think Merlin threw out the number three as how many clusters make up the Denver area. Also, March 6th was mentioned a few weeks back. It's going to get interesting pretty quick.

He said St. Patrick's day. March 17. Unless I missed something.

He said March 6th and that we should be sending St Paddys Day selfies on 4G. They were working on the tower at 470 on the northside of Chatfield today again. Coverage at my house has been dismal to excellent in the last week. Curiously I was in Highlands Ranch this weekend and kept picking up 1x800 from Lakewood. I live really close to Lakewood and never pick up 1x800 here. Out of alignment panel maybe?

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
