    T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

    in General Topics

    Posted

    Dan... those are great speeds.   I can only wish to achieve these with S.      You used to say T Mobile didn't cover your area very well and the speeds were poor.    Did your service recently improve?   
    T-Mobile's LTE service here in terms of consistency and actual coverage has dramatically improved yes. But also keep in mind this was at like three 4 in the morning.

    I’m not sure if it’s going on or not but there have been reports that when T-Mobile announces “expanded” coverage in new places that it’s just a panel of two added to the tower. So if you’re not in the direction of it, you’ll lose service.

    Well I live in the very dense area of population. At least a hundred thousand people in my town. I'm surrounded by several cells size according to Tmobile so I'm never without service. But there are places in town that could use a cell site or two.

    Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

    in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment

    Posted

    Based on the Shentel nTelos Merger, my guess is one year from the Department of Justice approval for the FCC to hammer out all the details.  It would be to Sprint users benefit to go that long so hopefully the planned updates are completed.  That will be all you get until T-Mobile would convert your market  which is planned to take 3 years.
    And with this new merger that may possibly happen. I suspect that the FCC maybe require TMobile to build out new coverage in areas that don't even have service.

    I think this is where the economies of scale of merging comes in. At that point we should see full blown expansion with stores IMO.
     
    Currently is T-Mobile just trying to cover the map to save on roaming and for marketing, making sure they meet minimal licenses requirements, acting like Sprint as I noted, dealing with equipment shortages as some T-Mobile RF engineers have mentioned, or doing expansions in stages.  To me if you have cash, one tower climb makes the most sense. But I think T-Mobile is a marketing driven firm.
    I would have to agree with you. Because TMobile does lots of lots of marketing. And sometimes two results with the network don't me what the marketing parrots it out to be. I can tell you as a current T-Mobile user that they are lots of talk and minimal real world results. But yes you're right if they have money climacell site and make the improvements needed.

    Are these shades of Sprint I am hearing from T-Mobile?  Often Sprint has built its towers around here a number of miles from the nearest town. which results in lower speeds and the entire town is on one sector.  I also wonder if T-Mobile is building out before backhaul, which is the usual way Sprint has handled adding bands and channels.
    I'm interested to see actual coverage build-out and densification. I'm aware that it cost lots of money and time. Obviously the townships have a say and what happens. But I'd still like to see some more coverage expansion.

    My question is this.....Why is the speed so low?? Bandwidth??  or backhaul? Or what???  

    The tower is there, its broadcasting on a band, so why the slow speeds???
    They may not have turned up the back haul. Also it could have been overloaded. But also TMobile has much work to do in terms of building out rural coverage

    T-Mobile's questionable build-out practices in rural areas is what makes me most nervous about the merger.  My experience is that such construction is usually very clearly an attempt to make the map look good and not a real build-out that attempts to properly serve the local population.

    Exactly. That's why I'm very bullish when it comes to a carrier says they will build out in this location and have a good Network here. That's why I don't believe it until I see real World results.

    well sprint to.. they have towers around.. but its... well go look at the map in the premier section look at utah along the I-15... its filling in a lot better.. and its somewhat rough terrain... but still over all planning for any cell provider, should include townships
     
    exactly they should plan for the townships of fight back when it comes to sell sites. But when people start complaining about no cell service or poor coverage I don't feel sorry for those idiots that complain that cell towers are dangerous.

    The sad part is... this is a small town... but a town nonetheless... SO WHY is there not a tower inside limits, or at least closer to, if you couldnt get permits to build in....
     
    I find that sad. I actually find that very negligent on TMobiles part.

    SO disappointed with my roaming in central Utah... I had roughly mid -90s for strength, and couldnt even pull a simple radio stream, or load a simple webpage....  Glad to have ok strength.. but what good is it, if you have nothing behind it???  Reminds me of my quick year switch to Tmo... their map said it was ok service, this was on catalina... but it was GARBAGE... How they (any carrier) get away with saying its LTE, when you have SUB 3g speeds... SMH
     
    Thanks for the warning I plan to go to Maine this summer for a wedding and supposedly they have roaming on u.s. cellular so I appreciate the heads-up

    I could see them come back and say well lower than Verizon and AT&T...
    I still think that the prices will be more in mind for Verizon and AT&t. Honestly to build out a maintain and expand the network of that caliber and size you need obviously more money from your revenue source which is consumers. So in these higher prices to build out the network and to maintain it it cost lots and lots and lots of money I do not see prices going lower. They would not be turning a profit they kept prices where they are.

    Sprint Backup Power

    in General Topics

    Posted

    All Network Vision sites have 36 Hour UPS Systems, minimum.  About 20-25% have backup generators.  Even though they are bid with 36 hour backups, it's not unusual for a 36 hour system not run 36 hours.  For instance, if they add more radios than originally designed, that will reduce how long the batteries will last.  Also, high demand can cause reduced duration too.  Also, UPS systems fail and batteries fail, etc.

    If I'm not mistaken some of them are powered by natural gas.
