Network Vision/LTE - Missouri Market (includes St. Louis)

Most likely has ecsfb issues. B26 still has to have ecsfb pushed like B25.

Yeah it kicks me off LTE all together and I'm stuck on 3g. I think this is the Hopewell/N site.

Are you able to force LTE?

I am trying to now, but I can't seem to remember how or figure it out.

Edit: if I force LTE only it does not connect.

Seeing that screenshot reminded me, Sensorly seems to have corrected the artificially low speedtests! So, if you're getting good speeds, test away! I know a number of tech sites are using Sensorly to compare networks now.

I had to force LTE only mode. I was getting shut out otherwise. Band 25 and 3g are completely hosed.

It wouldn't let you on otherwise? That's strange. GS5 correct?

Yeah s5. I thought it would keep me on b41 also. Especially since it's free and clear. I'm about to watch hockey. :)

Wonder if its not CSFB enabled yet. Clear sites seem to be having this issue in many markets. Hope they get it figured out soon.

Got this today, but it keeps kicking me. I can connect on an airplane toggle, but it won't stay connected. Are they may be working on the tower? Cause it it shows in the engineering screen too. 5equ6e4u.jpg

I have a few sites here in Chicago that act the same way. You'll get it after an airplane toggle because of your phone's scan priority, but then the network deems that you shouldn't be there because 25 is probably ok. If 25 is shot to hell, network prioritization isn't in place yet, and will probably be activated soon.

A lot of the B41 sites show up as calls not available on the N5.

This is the same tower that I connected to when I was at the game. It is definitely ecsfb.

CSFB enabled or CSFB problem?

 

CSFB problem. I had to force LTE on that tower also to get those speeds. Other then that  I was kicked to 3G.

Connected to this on old highway 100 headed into Washington. Didn't know if it was new or not

Can someone give me an idea what to expect around St Peters. Going through a divorce and suddenly moving with a friend just southeast of Mid Rivers Mall. Looks like 2 blocks or so from the tower southeast of the mall. I've been paying attention to JeffCo for so long so this will be completely new discoveries for me on all bands.

Coverage is pretty cool over there. I believe almost all the towers near there are 3G/4G.

This is also and area that I feel will start getting B26 soon. Plus you will have the extra coverage/capacity from the additional B41 sites out there. 

 

Edit: Specific information is listed in the Premeire section.

I know it is but I don't have the ability for that kind of access but thanks for the heads up.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No specific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
