    I don't know it is something new. Have they updated the app recently? At least you know what GCI to look for until mike updates scp.

    B41 3rd carrier 41/42/43 Not listed correctly in scp.
  3. Flompholph
    I don't know when it went live just passing through. Nokia did not have 3rd carrier live anywhere(except New Haven, ct) in the country last time I went through.

    It is also live in tampa market. I may need to catch it first. S7 beta does not update windowed applications yet.

    Pokenmon Go was brought up because it was a new high data demand over night. I guess he could have said porn and tell them their kids were watching to much porn instead of cat videos. What was the scandal in the article? People use data and spectrum is finite there is need for new towers. Net neutrality says you can't block data or throttle data because you don't like what users are using. I wonder how many of those people talking about health have other wireless devices? A lot of things operate near 2.4 ghz and alot closer to the people.

    Yes, the cell identity ends in 41 when converting to hex so it is very likely a 3rd carrier.

    I don't have enough information to tell which site they are from. I am only saying that 0B746801 are normally 8t8r or it may be a triband site and the 0B69E532 is normally mini macro. It would be strange for them to be at the same site unless it was a triband and a mini macro the problem is triband second carrier is normally 0A instead of 04. A reason to go triband and mini maro could be price (I don't know the price difference) but I think it would be strange near a stadium.

    0B746801 0B69E53A 0B69E532 0B746804 It looks like like a mini micro and an 8t8r the mini micro is probably used as the DAS they normally replace clearwire sites. They probably are using 6 carriers just so the 8t8r goes a little farther without interference. With such a low GCI for the 8t8r the site number is most likely very early. Some one would have to create a spreadsheet to be sure.

    Has anyone roamed on Carolina West Wireless LTE yet? I knew US Cellular but just saw the new(?) lte roaming partner today in my logs. I know they signed an agreement in 2014 but I have not roamed on them yet. I will try and watch next time I go through there. provider plmn gci pci tac strongest_rsrp strongest_latitude strongest_longitude Carolina West Wireless 310130 _0C395F01 60 40000 -113 36.52881 -80.749116 Carolina West Wireless 310130 _0C39EF02 445 40000 -103 36.532728 -80.750528 Edit: It also may be nothing I have AT&T and TMobile also in my logs.

    As long as they are within 256 they should be coming from the same site but if you post the screenshots latter I can do the math to find the GCIs.
  11. Flompholph
    What are the GCI's? Is it a new pattern or new sectors? Neat stuff if real.
  12. Flompholph
    They don't need volte to be #2. They don't need volte for awhile if ever with voip apps available.

    Sprint doesn't have to add more cell sites to be number 2 depending on which testing organization you are looking at. J.D. Power already lists them as #2 in 5 of 6 markets. The 6th that market includes US Cellular which is listed as the best. Nielsen has sprint as the highest download speeds across the country. In Rootmetric Sprint is 4.4 magic beans behind at&t for 2nd place for national overall. All Sprint has to do is add a few more B41 carriers to the sites they already have up and running to be 2nd. Nokia is just starting to launch 3rd carrier in some markets but they should be at 4 or 5 B41 carriers by now someone needs to put pressure on the software guys.

    I am in the same boat I turn off roaming to save it for the weekends. So I can show off and laugh at the people on verizon with their phones in the air. I will even even show them I can stream video some times. As long as I don't stream too much( pretty much any) the 300 MB will last.
  15. Flompholph
    Then how much do they pay verizon? Hasn't this been talked about here before when tmobile and at&t released their roaming cost?
  16. Flompholph
    That gci(08A002xx) is matched in the premier thread. Sprint does use triband antenna in some places not sure if that is what is installed.
  17. Flompholph
    Some do but it depends on the distance so it could be anywhere between 40ms to 3 sec. Some sites are still unusable because they don't/can't have fiber. By can't I mean cost prohibited for the time being or slow access to get fiber installed(ie Google Fiber meaning other slowing you down). Would it be better to let that area suffer or give them a chance to use a satellite backhaul? That way it will make it where you can still load pages and stream video without them timing out or roaming as much.

    In networks there is more than speed of light pings. The equipment itself adds to the latency. In some networks the equipment is what adds the most to latency. The statement most likely is referring to QOS features and lower latency hardware. The terminal does not care if the satellite is a blimp over head or the moon.

    The O3B constellation has 12 satellites in the air in MEO. So they have full coverage so far north 45° and limited beyond that. O3B are claiming 150 ms mouth to ear meaning one way. If it was sent thorough the landline upload and download through the satellite the latency would be around 170 ms. Each satellite is 10+Gbps but they go around the globe so there may only be only 1 in view at a time which means 3-4 Gbps. The high throughput satellites are in GEO 100+ Gbps. Sprint will need to use both satellites and land lines at sites and load balance and place video and audio streams over the GEO and place websites over O3B like sites and land line for more low latency things like loading webpages. The cost of the load balancing equipment is ~$100 it would best to be built into the satellite terminal equipment to easily move it to a new site. 10 Mbps is not enough for more than 3g and phone. With 3g being able to do 3Mbps with 3 sectors can get saturated very fast. But it may be enough to handle just webpages and other things that need a lower latency. I was going through satellite capacity and found a sprint logo as a customer in SES investor package page 31 and 33. SES owns O3B and other GEO. I am not sure of the total capacity for their GEO but they are launching a few HTS for US in 2017 and doubling O3B satellite capacity with 2 launches 1Q 2017 and 2018.

    New Orleans looks like it launched third carrier with 41,42, and 43. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/7559-4x4-mimo-phones-sprint-lte/?p=492454 Many many sites with the 41,42, and 43.

    I guess it is really a proxy instead of a dns. But it is something you can change to test your theory if you change it to 0.0.0.0. Here is an example for android. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283229

    Satellite backhaul can support 1+ Gbps. The ping depends on what kind of orbit the satellite is located low earth orbit can be as low as 150 milliseconds. It will not be good for urban settings but would be good for rural highway sites. They could have one satellite backhaul site and it using microwave to get more sites upto lte.
  23. Flompholph
    According to the sites "Data performance" tab Sprint's download speeds went up from 5.2 to 5.9 not sure why their numbers would go down unless they changed their secret curve.
  24. Flompholph
    Did you change your DNS? If that is what you think is causing the slow down. I know you can change it on android (and apple on wifi?? at least a quick google search) but you need a msl code on android. And the DNS settings reset themselves after some kind of update (prl ,system, or some other update). If you live on the east side of town that is probably a Richmond market site they are seeing 7 1/2 miles away still not a nTelos site. I personally don't call/talk to support they don't seem to know anything pretty much just reading from a book.

    No and Yes. Mainly no S7e only has 2 antennas and sprint network does not do 256 qam. Meaning your s7e will not use the full 4x4 but 2 s7e could be grouped together and receive at the same time using 2x2 for one and 2x2 for the other. Qam is just how complex the signal received the more complex the higher bits per second. When sprint starts using 256 qam the s7 should use it I am not sure at what code rate though.
