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

I don't see them taking the unlimited away. They may make the other plans cheap enough to tempt people to switch though. I will keep paying more for unlimited as long as I can. I just streamed a entire wwe pay-per-view in hd on my phone because I swear att uverse throttles wwe network to where it is almost unusable. I know that 3 plus hours is more data than most people on Verizon can have for a month.

I really hope not but I'm seeing leaked images of shared family plans. Check out the tk tech news app in the exclusive leaks tab.

 

Click bait article.

 

Sprint dies if they do so and no way in hell would they do it under the Softbank leadership. We would hear first of any significant rumbling such as that and there have been 0 on our end. Ignore misinformation and carry on.

Hoping your right! I guess we will all see how credible it is in 30-45 days because thats when its rumored they will start it according to him.

Plain and simple. Unlimited will remain in one form or another.

 

It may become more expensive and less visible as time goes on but it will still be around in some capacity. Other plans may become more advertised like shared plans that go head to head against Verizon and ATT and targets those that don't all need unlimited or a lot of data but the option will still be there for those who want it.

Those so-called new plans are the same plans that are being tested in several markets. What he neglects to say is that individual and modified framily plans are included alongside those plans, both of which offer unlimited.

 

I posted a comment questioning his source and asking for clarification and promptly got banned with the following message:

 

How about this for proof. Virtual teabag. You Sprint cheerleader.

And when it happens in the next 60 days i bet you dont say shit and disappear.

 

Wait till i leak the story on the layoffs lol

 

 

 

Yeah. Sounds real credible to me.....

He's doing a very poor job of trying to make something of himself. I've watched his videos. He seems to have a very limited understanding of everything he posts, but acts like an expert on the subject.

Tower upgrades maybe? Does the area you had issues with not have b26 yet? Or I could be 8t8r additions I guess also.

We don't have evidence of 8T8R deployment starting here yet. It shouldn't take down LTE either since it's an overlay with new panels, RRH, and basestation equipment.

i was travelling from glen carbon, il, to arnold, mo and had no LTE the entire way.

 

several reboots, dozens of airplane modes, nothing.

 

it would take several minutes to even get 3g back after reboot or airplane mode.

 

even after I switched devices, I did not get lte back until approx 1:30 am when I woke to the signal check chimes.

How do you guys (and girls if there are any active ones in our market) go about pulling or checking permits for the various counties in Missouri? Is there an easy way to do it online?

You have to find the online database manually for each country (if it exists) and then search for the permit. Most of the towers around here are owned by crown castle, so the permit has their info on it. The only things permitted for are NV1.0 and 8T8R.

Data is practically non-existent at/around Westport today. Ping times in the 300-600ms range for B25. It's usually bad, but functional... but today it's just not there. Here's hoping that optimization/upgrades are happening!

This is FeeFee @70, if this tower can get LTE there is hope for all. It's basically just a small telephone poll.

 

 

 

Was this forced LTE? I thought that tower would never get LTE due to the size of the telephone it is on. This is very good news.

It was not forced, but that is because im running baseband .15 on my N5. So normal phones would not connect unless forced.

You got me with your phone in your profile. Glad you said you had the N5 cause this is starting to make some sense to me now. I've been getting kicked to 3G on 270 near 70 area and I assumed it to be a tower near there but didn't feel like driving the entire area to find it. Pretty sure this is what has been kicking me.

I broke down and called Sprint to report the data outages by where I live and work, and 4 of the 5 towers I connect to for 75% of the time I'm not commuting to/from home/work are either being upgraded, or about to be upgraded. The tower at Page & Lindbergh should get updates "in November" according to the rep... the rest will be fully baked by the end of summer.

    • 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 soecific 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.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
