I have the iOS 10 profile installed, have not downloaded the update yet.
-
B26 will extend the coverage of LTE and also offer extra capacity for devices to switch onto.
-
It could also be access issues to the site, or limitations on upgrading the site, etc.
-
Spend some time in NYC and you'll see how everything is underground and internet services go out daily because people cut the wrong cables.
-
What are you basing this on? They are actually being quite aggressive nationwide.
-
You're right but trolling incessantly doesn't help either.
-
Sprint is going to rip out the Clearwire at some point since it doesn't support 3xCA, but 2xCA works just fine on the Samsung equipment.
-
How about the rest of the country?
-
My local site is a Clearwire site as well, have actually been there first hand. I understand what you're saying but there is a lot more to the story with Sprint. 50% will continue to get extended, it's not like Sprint is hurting because of it.

I get decent enough inbuilding B41 in my brick apartment in Queens, good enough for 10-12mbps on the downlink. More than sufficient for any mobile use. I would believe that as long as a customer got that, it should be fine. Small cells will help fill in-building gaps, but you'll never get 80dB B41 signal in a building. Churn numbers are on a steady decline, which means more satisfied customers are signing up and staying on board. I don't agree with that, one person's experience shouldn't be reflective of another unless they share the same household and visit the same areas. Case in point, my sister-in-law uses Sprint, has for about 3 years now. Her husband uses AT&T, and recently switched over for the 50% off promo after seeing that his wife's phone works well enough in the places they go together. He had initially asked me for my opinion and I told him to pay attention to his wife's service since they lived and traveled together.

Actually the density creates a whole new set of problems with neighborlists, handoffs, eCSFB configs, etc. Some of those other markets are cherry picked weakest ones for Sprint, so it's not a fair comparison either.
-
Yep should be interesting to see in production.
-
Sprint does have their own DAS there, hopefully should get LTE soon enough.
-
New York City All I'm saying is that there are numbers which contradict the doom and gloom that permeates throughout the Internet regarding Sprint.
-
Actually it is because Sprint would be on the hook for failed 911 calling if eCSFB isn't working properly.
-
Exactly but they won't fix dropped call issues today, which is what I had quoted.
-
Last I checked 2.5 is on a significant number of sites, my market has barely any left that do not have at least Clearwire 2.5.
-
From what we have seen the small cell deployment is to create a dense LTE network, not 1x/EVDO, so they won't help with dropped calls.
-
Penn Station is weird but I'm pretty sure there is no single DAS for every carrier. In theory you could have a site right across the street and have it pointed right into Penn.
-
What carrier was that user on?
-
Something to also keep in mind is that small cells may go in and the only people who will know are those who experience better service. Not all of them will be visible installs like the ones we've seen in LA, but they will be there. Who knows to be honest how it will all play out?
-
Verizon deployed theirs years ago in NYC, long before small cells was a thing.
-
More than most people know it. All this negative speculation does is give more fire to the naysayers.
-
I believe there is a legacy DAS in place that needs to be upgraded. The other carriers are also relying on macro coverage to offset.
-
That's actually a huge problem and needs to be addressed. I have a feeling your B41 will go away.
