    I think it connected the pico cell second carrier of 15 MHz bandwidth due similarity with same EARFCN 40142 in financial district.

    Oh wow, didn't realize I had connected to that carrier. What's more interesting is that that area is broadcasting the typical 3 other carriers so this would be a fourth. 

    Thanks for the heads up 👍 I will investigate further.

    The speeds we are seeing are with hardly any phones on the 5G network.. once more phones got on to the network... mmmmm emoji848.png, just throwing that out there.. I just hope the total of 120mhz will be used as stated by John that 5G phone can makes use of all the spectrum

    They can eventually dynamically allocate spectrum from LTE to 5G. So not really a big concern. If I can enjoy 100mbs+ speeds as an early adopter (vs 5-10mb on LTE) I'll take it.

    Either there was a super low signal, or B41 LTE was very congested. While 5G was empty. Not really impressed with the 5G speed seeing as no one else was on it. Maybe the site doesn't have enough backhaul?

    And that definitely looks like B41 LTE for upload on 5G.

    While its peak speeds might not be super duper impressive(im ok with its 800mbs peak so far), since it seems to have super smooth handoff from LTE this will be just like as if you just added 40-60Mhz of spectrum which is awesome. Plus, as you mentioned, not many users on it, so it will be like taking a freeway with a toll and way less congestion.

    109 Mbps is basically LTE speeds which are not impressive for 5G.  This is the problem of having only 60mhz dedicated to 5G. I think Tmobile strategy of dedicating the 120mhz 2.5ghz spectrum to 5G now looks great.

    The fact that its 30x faster than LTE in the same location says a hell of a lot! If i hit those speeds in low signal areas id be ultra happy!

    Looks like initial 5G coverage is very very impressive...

    On that config in real world 48-50 would be the limit in perfect conditions without anyone on the tower. 3XCa upload in that config could do around 75 up though.

    The hope is that with 5G's wider channels will help stabilize upload speeds. If I see over 5mb at the edge with 2 layer MIMO id be ok.

    1.9 maybe but 2.5 I'm going to need to see some proof. 2xCA is only active if your really close to the tower and if your inside even when it is active speeds are not good on upload. Even 3XCA which Sprint is unlikely to do anyway couldn't pull it off.

    Clean SNR B41 3xCA 64QAM upload would most definitely achieve speeds that are similar. But would be pretty fragile and only benefit a tiny percentage of users.

    Accept sometimes vzws uploads are not that slow. It's possible to get 50-60 up on VZW. I don't think we will ever see that on Sprint. Tmobile yes. They could use LTE for upload and then NR for down and TMO has much more spectrum to use for uploads

    Sprint could easily achieve comparable uploads with 1.9 or 2.5.

    I did see that report on Verizon using 4g LTE at a lower frequency for phone upload.  Many of us wish b25 was used for upload with b41 for download. CA b25+41+41+41+41 or whatever.  With 5g's higher channel bandwidth and speed, it should not be as much of an issue. 5NR upload at 40MHz should be 4x, 60MHz should be 6x, 100MHz should be 10x. Of course the real world may differ.

    Its clear that the device side back to the site is mostly the issue. I think it says a lot that Big Red decided to only make MM WAVE transmit one way for now...

    Requiring that people upgrade to Unlimited Premium certainly won’t help with the uptake numbers for 5G or the devices. They should reconsider this.

    Also, the device isn’t available outside of the four initial launch cities right now. They’re using a location filter of some kind on the Sprint website.

    In my opinion, this isn't a bad compromise. Shoot for higher arpu customers and limit it to markets that actually have 5G deployed.

    Just seems sensible considering Sprint's position and that it isn't free to deploy.

    This the first sprint 5G test a841bd06c1d61289dcd0fa7a4c3345ba.jpg

    Enjoy

    Don’t think sprint has the operational cost to run multi gigabit backhaul on all 5G sites..

    Few people I spoke with say this is the biggest leap sprint has ever made in terms of how the network is now performing under 5G using massive Mimo and how good volte is operating.. the team is not convinced that they will creat a ton of foot traffic because Of this .. they are still expecting customer to leave at a faster rate than what they are gaining

    I made some notes above. This is based on the maps in the premier section. If you want to send me the site IDs in the PMs I'll add them to my map

     157th street Gerard ave. 158th St? YUP just different sector most likely.

     151th Grand concourse two sites in the area there  Probably same site, but different sector.

     150th ST Amsterdam ave 

    55st and 9th ave two sites near by on 57th and 53rd 55th is a different one.

    47th St ave missing details 9th Ave.

    34th and 9th Ave

    58th and lex is this the site on 55th and lex I already shared? Most likely.

    47th and lex.

    33rd St and Madison - This is the site on 32nd above Fields good chicken that covers my office YUP Most likely different sector.
