Got the Sept 1st update on my AT&T phone today. Let's see how long it takes T-Mobile this time around. 

My T-Mobile phone got the update yesterday. SA N41 is still missing for now.

I just noticed, after the update SA N41 is missing now. It's just NSA N41 and SA/NSA N71. Wonder why they removed it. 🤦‍♂️

Just got the October update and it's still missing...

FYI, it seems like the band listing in service mode is not accurate. My N20U has n41-SA missing as well but I just connected to n41-SA on a new tower that went live this morning.

That's good to hear!

Still no December update on either on my S20 phones. I wonder if they're just waiting on the Android 12 update to be next at this point. 

I stand corrected. My AT&T phone is downloading a 2.6 GB update now. Still nothing on my T-Mobile phone. 

Edit: This is the Android 12 update!

does this phone still suck on n71 connections or is it just me?  i swear it gets so bad for a day or so, then the phone gives up and i dont see it for several weeks only for it to return for another day or so and the cycle repeats.

I've never had any issues with N71 other than when SA first went live and it was flaky for about a month or so. My phone perfers N71 especially after either a reboot or airplane mode cycle and will usually hang out there until I start to use something more than a little data then it switches me to LTE with NSA N41. I had no issues holding only N71 from 10-15 miles away out in Southern Illinois this week (T-Mobile really needs some expansion out there).

Finally.

Finally! I wonder what took so long for them to push it out. I'm also surprised they still haven't enabled N2 and N66 as far as I can tell on the phone when there's been several reports of at least N66 on T-Mobile. From everything I've seen the plus model does support it. AT&T has had N2, N5, N66, and N260 enabled on my S20 Ultra for at least a year now. That one launched with only N5 and N260 but N2 and N66 were enabled with an update at some point.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
