When I looked yesterday, I had 100+50, but B41 LTE was gone. Today, B41 LTE is still gone, but now 100+90. - Trip

I had locked my phone on n41 to make sure it would show me the two n41 carriers. I assume it also aggregates with n25 when unlocked. - Trip

Looks like they finally killed B41 LTE here in favor of wider n41. https://imgur.com/a/EUa8v4V - Trip

Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread
Trip replied to Nextel49's topic in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment
Here are the 10 rows I have of B26 with T-Mobile PLMN. (Plus one row of B5.) https://i.imgur.com/lupKbiK.png I left B18 active on one of my phones by mistake and I guess B26 is running MFBI for B18, as I have two detected that way. - Trip -

They're running it on selected sites as protection sites to keep the licenses alive. I've found a handful of them floating around. - Trip -
What's particularly interesting is that I spot-checked one of the Hawaiian islands where T-Mobile will have to divest and it looks like if they were to sell two PCS blocks to AT&T, they could swap such that AT&T ends up with 20x20 contiguous and T-Mobile ends up with 25x25 contiguous in PCS. - Trip
-
Yeah, it basically directs the bureau to proceed with granting the applications in the normal course. It's no longer being held by the AT&T objection. - Trip

I'm waiting for that to happen here. In most of the rest of Virginia (outside the DC market), B41 LTE is long gone. Of course, relatively nearby here is a Sprint power line site flagged 312250 serving a shopping center that is still running B2/26/41 LTE, so maybe it's not the only one and they're leaving it running on purpose for sites like that one. - Trip

Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread
Trip replied to PythonFanPA's topic in General Topics
I guess it was the network. With no intervention on my part, it's back today like nothing ever happened. - Trip -
Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread
Trip replied to PythonFanPA's topic in General Topics
So, not sure if it's just me or what. My Boost Mobile phone with Rainbow SIM suddenly won't connect to the Dish 5G-NR. I checked and I can force it onto T-Mobile or AT&T LTE (which are flagged as roaming), but it just sits on No Connection if I disable LTE. I went out today and passed at least half a dozen Dish sites, so it's not site-specific. I can't figure out if it's the network is down in this area, or if there's something wrong with my account. - Trip -
The latest from the FCC on the T-Mobile 2.5 GHz licenses: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-24-101A1.pdf Looks like the FCC is seeking to incorporate additional documents into the decision because of the objection from AT&T. (Disclaimer: I work at the FCC, but I don't work on wireless industry issues, so I know no more than anyone else here.) - Trip

I didn't use a case for my day-to-day phone for a really long time because I was very careful with my phones, until I was in Lowes one day, putting my S5 back in my pocket and somehow missed my pocket. Phone went straight to the concrete floor, landed on its corner, and ended up with a crack in the screen. Still perfectly usable, but had a crack. When I eventually got my G5, it got a basic clear rubber case to at least prevent that much. Been using those ever since. My "data collection" phones don't have cases, but they also go straight from the phone charging stand to the car and back. (Although last year one of those managed to fall out of the car a distance of less than 2 feet and ended up with a completely shattered screen. Naturally, it wasn't one of the ones I wanted to replace in the near future.) - Trip

T-Mobile still has a lot of work to do in the rural areas. I've been told some of the specific places I've asked about are supposed to get sites later this year, but even those will be islands of service surrounded by "no service." There are definitely rural areas where they can do well (see the Shentel region, where they inherited the best network in the area), but a number of their more organic rural builds aren't as impressive as the other carriers as of yet. - Trip -

Sounds like T-Mobile mentioned US Cellular in passing. https://seekingalpha.com/news/4059219-us-cellular-telephone-and-data-gain-as-t-mobile-us-says-looking-at-sales-process Given that T-Mobile is a known quantity as far as keeping sites and whatnot, that's my preference on a buyer, but we admittedly don't know what other carriers would do. - Trip
