    It would. There isn't anything that supports uplink 3CA though. 25+41 uplink CA should really help, especially in places where they have 15x15 band 25. 

    Don't need it to be 15x15 even 5x5 on B26 would be fine to help stabilize B41's upload on the edge of signal. (Would like to point out, that B41 on M-MIMO does exhibit considerably better upload stability vs 8t8r)

    They were second for average download speeds. The problem is their piss poor uploads, latency, reliability, and consistency. They won in Portland because they were consistent and they tied in SLC. Everywhere else was a loss. I wouldn't say that they did excellent. I would say they did ok at best. 

    Considering how all pro merger folks paint them out to be, you'd think the sky is falling, but on the contrary, they are doing quite well with limited resources. In fact, if they started CA B25/B26+B41 would solve 90% of the issues involved with slower uploads and reliability.

    On my Pixel 3 XL, there was CA on the first 2 carriers as usual, but no CA at all with the third. It was a non contig 20 MHz carrier.

    I figured that. How is that stand alone carrier performing? does it easily get overloaded? or is the load balancing actually working well enough?

    Its that time of year again..

    And Sprint did excellent!! The upload is definitely hurting their scores, but on average they were one of the fastest of the big four..

    Is it contig? In SF some higher usage sites got a third, non-contig carrier to presumably help with load.

    Are they running in any sort of CA config? or just standalone? non-contig CA is supposed to be a thing eventually....

    It is.

    But..

    if you do the math, its center frequency ends up being 2645.8 and limited to just 10mhz. Clearly it has been a lack of contiguous spectrum and they finally decided to use what we have instead of nothing at all. Performance seems to have gotten a nice solid boost(cut the carrier size in half and your looking at around 50mbs max on a 10mhz slice of TDD on config 2) so I'll take it.

    Despite of it's limited nature im pretty happy and looking forward to hopefully seeing it spread further north.

    Those speeds are pretty bad, considering Verison's UWB is getting 1.2Gbps.  Is Sprint just aggregating multiple 20Mhz blocks on LTE and calling it a day?

    Verizon's MM-WAVE 5G has horrid coverage, in reality cant really compare, but Sprint's using 40 or 60Mhz block of 5G NR  thats peaking around 800mbs...

    Do you know which site you were picking up? Was it the monopole nearest to Kings Plaza or the Massive MIMO site that you found a while back on top of a building? If it's the monopole that would be funny because it's one of the first sites in NYC where we found live LTE.

    There is a site right on top of the King Plaza parking garage. I could not confirm it being there tho since it seemed to be coming from a further away site.

    Found live 5G in BK's king plaza. Clearly was not meant for consumer use since it kept pushing me out, but did get a few speed test from 0mb lol to 150mb...

    Side note: NR engineering screens were blank and SCP would show last LTE connection.

    But seems to be coming real soon! Super excited.

    Sorry for all the spamming. This is my last post of the day.

    M-MIMO under the 59th street bridge. These are my speeds today on the Island.

    I also found at least 5 crown castle sites. Sprint is not on them, not sure who is.

    Spamming?!? No way, these are awesome! It's gorgeous out so  perfect day for it!

    I've been thinking about this but I might wait for the S10 5G and sell my S10+. Or if they have a really good trade in promo for my S9 again. I kept my S9 when I bought the S10+ even though they offered $550 and it's barely worth $400 online.


    I used to be a fan of LG phones but when I switched to Samsung I realized I had been missing out.

    Its too early for me to give my definitive opinion, but so far its been solid. Screen is definitely not as good or as bright as the GS10+. Audio coming from its own speakers are definitely a step down, but its DAC performance is clearly superior over headphones. Also camera seems to exhibit less processing noise than the GS10 but its definitely slower. One thing i must say, its call performance is superior to the GS10 in call quality and VoLTE stability.

    More importantly..

    Radio performance seems to be as good as the GS10 or slightly better so far. Once 5G is finally activated we will see..

    I picked up a V50, no 5G available in NYC yet. Drove from 42nd to 181st hit zero 5G, but speeds are super solid regardless averaging between 50-200mbs on LTE with V50.

    That also might explain the ramping up of backhaul preparing for that extra 40-60Mhz that 5G will bring online.

    I wonder what's the point of putting up a B26 only site up. If you're going to the expense of setting up a new site, why not do a full triband setup? To note, I suspect there are similar setups on the town's along Highway 2 through Montana, as I found B26 in some of those towns too last weekend.

    A way of spending as little as possible and be able to deploy VoLTE..

    The LTE light has never gone green, always flashing red.  Called support once and the explanation was is that LTE service wasn't provided in my area.?.?   Going to try calling back today and see if I get different results.   

    Mine eventually locked on to LTE, but then after about 3 or 4 minutes it seems to soft reboot itself back to a blinking red LTE light. Called support, they said they are working on it on the backend.

    Well see how this turns out..
