    36.7 5x5 2x2 mimo lte so 15 mhz is 36.7 *3=110.1 Mbps To go to 4 streams from 2 that is 220.2 Mbps Then ~30% for QAM increase so 286.26 Mbps. (QAM can be push until it fails think weaker signal so it changes.)

    I am afraid because it will then make sprints choice to change B25 and B26 sectors real. The changes are only confirmed on less than 10% of Pittsburgh sites. It just screws those of us that use scripts to sort our logs. It almost eliminates phones that don't show EARFCN from contributing data because of the mixed (old/new) sectors. I also lose the ability to have a continuous log that I can just dump data into then keep the best data when it gets to big because because of the changes.

    With all these comments I thought they were going to be about the GCI sector changes in Samsung markets. But I guess we are all afraid to bring it to Mikes attention then it will make the changes we are seeing real.

    With 260000+ magic boxs you can't be too suprised to run into a few. With a pace of 65k last quarter your only going to see more. These are a great way to slide small cells into nimby places.

    Because you don't get a better network everywhere. Look at rootmetric WV map are you telling me tmobile gives a shift about where I live and play. Tmobile doesn't care about rural areas how will the merger help it won't it will hurt.

    Same for me in rural GA. Turning off roaming did not help. Everytime I see this I am going ro report it as a network issue. Roaming data went quick.

    Sounds like congestion. Do you pick up B41 in the house late at night or early morning? I think there is already 3 carriers live. I know 41276 and 41474 are live in the area 41078 is live in Ann Arbor but I didn't see it around north Detroit. I also saw 40270 which I think is a small cell. Can you go to L'Anse Creuse High School to see where the small cell is located? That is near where I saw 40270.

    These are the earfcn that I have seen in chicago. 8290/8665/8763/41374/41176/40978/41111/40913 8290 should be 10x10 which has 1875 Mhz uplink. But that is just from my logs need in person to be sure.

    I just don't want to be on t-mobile's network. If I go too deep it would go way off topic. If all big three are evil and no little guy to hope to for. I might as well go to the one that works the most in my house even though I only use wifi at home.

    I know one way to covince me that the merger will be good for me. Call me unreasonable, stupid, really stupid, and lazy. If the merger goes through I will be jumping to ATT.

    1Gbps is 128 MB per secound. 1 byte is 8 bits. Transfer speeds are in bits storage are in bytes. Confusing the two causes some outsiders to also be confused by what speeds you are talking about due to the 8x difference.

    I believe SC lite does not know MB GCI yet. Signal check uses the gci to guess which band it is connected to.
  13. Flompholph
    You will pretty much never see Tmobile lte unless you are in MT, SD, or ND. That is the only large difference I see. Like stated above you don't compare sprint LTE to T-Mobile LTE. You compare Sprint 1x(including 800) to T-Mobile LTE. The only way to force roam is to block the signal until roaming scan starts. Once it starts to roam then it will stay roaming for while.You could try LTE only mode but sprint likes to grip onto it's signal as long as it can even if that means no data throughput.
  14. Flompholph
    Triband. Triband antenas have been found where sprint puts what we guess could be their 4th carrier GCI ending.

    Here is a pic to show my sprint covrage for southern eastcoast US. Some of the dots disappear as you zoom out but it gives a good idea where coverage is.

    SC is probably 8 of the 10% that is still bad. GA is probably 1 to 1.5%. Were you in Charleston before or after B41 launched there? It is very spotty on I 95 most of the way until Florance,SC. North of that if you lose lte on the Interstate you just have to toggle airplane to get it back. Sprint still has work to do in SC, AL, and GA. The only other big hole on I95 other than SC/GA is eastern CT/RI

    Anyone in Grand Rapids? I was by the Woodland/Centerpointe Malls and saw in my logs what might be a small cell. latitude: 42.92036 longitude: -85.58392 cellid: 0B29E001 physcellid: 484 dBm: -121 tac: 5906 band: 41 earfcn: 41211 mcc: 310 mnc: 120

    These are just the cities getting massive mimo 64t64r. We already knew about 64t64r. It is still 4g but 5g ready because 4g is limited to 8x8 mimo.
  19. Flompholph
    If they plan on a million+ of MB they need to do something like this with the sectors.

    Being last place with data useage is a good reason for T mobile to not post results. I wonder how they would spin those nubers. I know it may be asking much but I would like to see download and upload split now.
  21. Flompholph
    T Mobile did put out a news thing with a piece of info "78% increase in data". So we can extrapolate the data used to around 7.1 TB used. 2016 2.1TB used 2017 almost 2x usage growth during game 2018 78% more data from Top Network Facts image

    8t8r may work with some aspects of 5G but 5G has two points where the towers would need work done on them. 1) Massive MIMO panels can be 5G. 8t8r is the limit of 4G anything bigger could be labeled 5G capable. 2)8t8r uses B41 meaning they will not include the higher 5G frequencies. (Small cells everywhere due to limited range of freq above 2.5 GHz ) There could be a software update with 5G benefits and marketers labeling that it was a 5G update but it would be a stretch.

    Any chance the AirPole or Strand Mount are going to customers like the magic box? I know, I know I had to ask though. The magic box just won't work(my guess since I never asked the second time) at my house need something on the outside. There are 2 places in my yard I pick up B25 10x10. I would love to see these on the gas pump canopy thing. I have seen a few sprint signals coming from the pumps canopy but it would be better if they were more wide spread.

    Possible but I am not in Manchester NH much . I did not see the first carrier based on GCI though. There is not to much overlap I try and turn it off when getting close to where I am going and I try not to overlap where I have been before. Which can cause me to not cover everything but trying to save data point space. I also try to remove points where there is no cellid but that is not much maybe 2% of data points. That is not to say I don't forget to turn it off but the vast majority is not from 1 place.
