    T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

    in General Topics

    Posted

    So 4glte is better for volte? Or we talking not much difference? 
    4G LTE is a different technological standard then 3-g. And vo LTE is the technological standard for making phone calls on an LTE network. So when you have LTE service you make phone calls on LTE. So if you live in an area where TMobile works very well your voice over LTE experience should be pretty darn good. Now if you live in an area where TMobile service isn't great then you would experience a lot of dropped calls. It really depends on where you live and how T-Mobile's network is over there.

    T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

    So was wondering if anyone can explain why sometimes when I'm on a call it says 4glte, most of the time it says 4g. What is the difference and is one way better than the other? I know hspa or wCDMA but what is better? 
    4G LTE is 4th generation long term evolution which is the next step up from 3-g. 3-g or 3rd generation services. HSPA is just a faster form of 3-g. T-Mobile uses 42 megabytes a second maximum dual carrier 3-g services. And HSPA is better. Wcdma is a slower but more widely deployed form of 3-g.

    MOCN is just a stop-gap solution while they figure out how to transfer everyone to the T-Mobile core network. MOCN cannot be used to combine two networks into one, but can be used to allow a group of users access to more than one network.
    T-Mobile already implements MOCN so Sprint users can roam on their network without any compatibility issues. There is no need to worry about VoLTE compatibility or eCSFB issues with MOCN unlike with traditional roaming. This is the reason why T-Mobile roaming comes back with a Clearwire PLMN instead of a T-Mobile PLMN 
     
    Yeah T-Mobile isn't that bad here. But this speed test is when no one is using the network obviously LOL6fe2b052bdf26355e7a21c306ccd1447.jpg

    Those areas I do see them filling gaps rather quickly. I was thinking about much more rural areas that wills possibly take more time..

    Well the thing is that TMobile doesn't have a really dense Network outside of central New Jersey. Even though Long the highway coverage does suffer very slightly. But with the coming improvements hopefully all that will be resolved. I'll be going again in less than three weeks so I'll post an update then.

    Dan, aren't you on Verizon?   I didn't think you were on either Sprint or T Mo...  Didn't understand the strong feelings toward Sprint or T Mo..?   Are you coming back?    If you are on a different carrier, then how are you able to find a "hole" in T Mo's coverage?  
    No I actually decided against Verizon. I save $10 a month by being on T-Mobile prepaid. So I'm aware there coverage deficiencies on the highway. there are a few spots where I lose LTE altogether. Their band 71 would actually work to close the gaps between LTE enabled towers.

    Coverage expansion will be slowed as TMO builds the new network architecture adding sprint equipment to their sites and tmo equipment to sprint keep sites, but tmos network is already much larger than sprint by almost 1 million square miles in total.. the sprint customer will have a huge increase in network coverage ( which they should already due to roaming)

    Sounds logical. Another thing I hope they do is they fill in coverage holes. Because that's another thing that's needed on some areas of i-95 that I travel. so let's see if they stick to their promises like they did in the past.

    The integration will virtually happen day 1 as Neville changed plans. He will do what 2 carriers are doing in Canada called (MOCN). Which basically uses a virtual single core network that routes services to the tmo core. it will move existing T-Mobile and Sprint customers to a common core network. That will require T-Mobile’s engineering team to bridge the two standalone core networks together.At the same time, T-Mobile engineers will increase the scale of T-Mobile’s core network to handle increased traffic created by the new Sprint customers.

    I am more concerned about the coverage aspect. When I'm worried about is that coverage won't be expanded upon.

    yep which i have issue with time to time get great performence in the middl of town i doint live in city   but at the edge i seen  a 2k ms  ping once to google  when i norml get 100ms right before that 
    I mean lucky for me I live in an area where the nearest cell site is 8 miles away from me. So obviously I'm going to have good service here. even in areas in between cell sites T-Mobile does a better job and most cases than even Verizon.

    i agree i dont using more then 2mb/s and even when i do it is done in second i only use it for website face book  the odd face book video not very offten so far only  2 in month  and  chat area and email and listen to musice most what  i care about is good ping and coverage
    The only time I use above 5 megabytes a second as if I'm watching YouTube that's it. So for me 5 megabytes a second is plenty for most thanks. I really don't care about next generation networks the only thing I care about is coverage and as you said good pings other than that I'm content.

    Probably not in that sense... This is one area that they were fairly forthcoming the day the intent to merge was announced.
    The combined company is going to have approximately 110,000 macro sites at the time of the merger. 35,000 of these sites will ultimately be decommissioned either due to co-location or redundant coverage (not on the same tower, but close enough). These sites will almost certainly be predominantly Sprint sites; which makes sense because they're effectively being acquired and T-Mobile's management and network teams are going to be running the show.
    Like I said in the article at the time though in terms of co-location, In actuality we'll see what they do. All things equal, if two sites are co-located the greater synergies are in eliminating the tower rack with less favorable lease terms or worse rack location. But to circle back to your question, basically in your terms T-Mobile's network is the one getting what you are calling a "coverage and capacity audit." They'll fill their network with selected Sprint keep sites they've identified that will add coverage or capacity or both, plus an additional approximately 10,000 new macro sites in the first several years post-merger. I expect this process is probably quite far along on T-Mobile's end in terms of site identification as their numbers were pretty specific at the time of the merger and they've had an additional year plus to work on this.
    For me I really don't care about 5G or speed this or speed that. The only things I care about is usability coverage and quality. If I just have even 10 megabytes a second but Nationwide coverage I'm happy.
