Band 41 permitting/deployment should be underway in Las Vegas if not now, then shortly. I would expect aggressive Band 26 deployment to be underway there by this summer, if not sooner. Once they've got the carriers cards and crews in place, Sprint is going to want to get B26 to as many B25 active sites as possible, as quickly as possible.

I sure hope you're right on this and I hope they start converting the Wimax towers as well...

One of the best, well thought out responses as per what you think is going on, that I've heard in the past year (besides your response about the Gm with sprint's comments the other day). Thanks Robert

Well, he is THE man. :)

Have you unlocked your radios using your MSL?

When my N5 arrived, first I rooted it, got my MSL then enabled the other two bands so I could actually play with it. I was LTE hunting within 10 mins tops. I did have success this evening on the way to the airport with multiple successful handoffs between multiple B41 sites, so I feel better that it's not my phone. In fact I was able to connect to the original site tonight that I was unable to yesterday. And yes, B41 is going to rock!

I just added some band 41 purple to the maps on east 56th, I-76, I-70 west of downtown and Kipling/Ralston area. I think band 41 has better coverage in Denver than 25, at least for now.

Have you been able to map Sensorly with Band 26?

I have.... but not in Colorado ;)

 

I had someone email me recently that they laid down some Band 26 Sensorly tracks over some old Band 25 tracks he laid a few months ago.  They are along Gulf Blvd. in Freeport, Texas.  He said he's also laid a few other tracks in the area.  

 

You can pick them out because of the sudden/stark increase in coverage where his B26 Sensorly mapping started over B25 tracks.  Like along SH 36, about 8 miles west of Freeport, west of the junction with FM 2004.  He said that the Band 25 in this area from Site # HO03XC639 used to be faint, but is now quite strong.  Improving about 25 dB RSRP.

Sweet. I just looked at it. Really different how you can tell the increase in distance/signal

Oops. Try  ##33284#

When I enter that on my Note 2, it asks for a lock code.  I phoned Sprint and they refused to give it to me because I'm still under contract.  Is that right?

 

Is there anything it would do for me if I had it, with this phone?

They probably didn't know what you were asking for.

 

It's very simple. It's just 777468 (Sprint).

So I mapped some band 26 in Colorado Springs along i-25 North and some more in monument, I'm sending the info right now

Since I have mapped B25 on that section more than once, and many of you probably have too, it will likely take a few passes on B26 to see noteworthy change.  :(

    • I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.
    • Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.
    • My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.
    • https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
