floorguy Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Well they are doing something around me.. Usually I am parked on Tmo bands, but over the last week, I have been on sprints.. Seems backwards, but maybe it's because they are load shifting for adding panels??? Very odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that's asking too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanm1978 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I was paying for the same thing on android with Samsung... Samsung forever or whatever it was called... but I found out when I tried to get that upgraded new note last year that they weren't doing that. Even though it was still on my bill every month. I paid 11 months into it and got nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid 11 months into it and got nothing. I'm 10 months into my Flex Lease. The website shows that I can upgrade early, but I'm only presented with the option to do 30 month financing or to pay in full. Maybe this will change at the 12 month mark on my Flex Lease? This really stinks if it's the case. Do right by your Sprint customers T-Mobile. I guess I could always upgrade at the 18 Month mark, but if that's the case, I might as well go to Apple's annual upgrade program instead of T-Mobile's.

swintec Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 what is this called and who do you think it is for? surely this cant be considered a "small cell" as its the size of some humans. wouldnt surprise me if its tomobile. right in this section there is a thousand or so feet of road where tmobile absolutely drops out and at least for me, I get put on to sprint band 25. very heavily traveled area too. one of the only areas i have found where i roam over on to sprint. kind of funny to cause just up the road is a tmobile store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-MoblieUser207 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It seems like T-Mobile is definitely keeping Sprint's long haul fiber network, as the network images on Sprint.net now say T-Mobile instead of Sprint. Here is to hoping the routing issues T-Mobile is having for some people is due to T-Mobile moving their traffic from 3rd party fiber providers and onto Sprint's (now T-Mobile's) fiber. https://www.sprint.net/tools/network-maps Also, T-Mobile has been working on tech to improve up link speeds and capacity of n41, specifically 256QAM upload and UL-MIMO.

Trip Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I've been seeing T-Mobile Band 2 connecting when Band 25 is selected for literally years at this point. If I lock one of my T-Mobile phones to Band 25, it will connect just fine, though it prefers Band 2 if I don't lock it. Can't speak to CA, though. - Trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was using my new iPhone 13 Pro. I live in Lake City FL and they have L41 and N41 active on the watertower site down town. I was able to get similar speeds 1.5 miles from the site when I had clear line of sight to the site. Also they recently got permits to add N41 to several more sites. Also they just got the first permit that I have seen in the area to convert a current Sprint only site to T-Mobile.

jreuschl Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 CA is only supported on the S21 and I assume iPhone 13 right? Has it been added to any previous Samsung? I know VoNR was added to the S20/N20 series after launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansltx Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Anyone know if they fixed stream bandwidth restrictions on TNX?

Per Reddit, 1.5 throttle will get fixed in a few weeks. I'm actually 100% okay with an 8 Mbps throttle for video, despite the network being able to consistently deliver 50x that here. But 1.5 is a bridge too far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
