    Rootmetrics national report

    Sprint is spending about $7 billion this year on network construction, refitting its former Nextel network and incorporating the added t no one is out of the running, this is going to evolve into an interesting horse race,” Moore said.

    “T-Mobile has taken the gloves off, and Sprint’s going through a transitional period right now, but what we see with their new Spark network could be a game changer.”

    To contact the reporter

     

    even they admit that band 41 will be a game changer.

    Verizon turns up the heat with 40mhz AWS Spectrum now live in a few major cities

    I have Verizon variants of Note 3 and iPhone 5s, and AWS is available literally everywhere in Manhattan. As soon as you walk outside your AWS capable UE will connect to AWS since Verizon is heavily steering LTE traffic to AWS to offload Band 13 using every known technique.

    In indoor environment you'll most likely going to be sitting at Band 13. 

     

    In addition to that, Verizon seems to be the only operator here in NYC using Closed Loop Spatial Multiplexing (Transmission Mode 4) which further enhances peak throughput, while AT&T and T-Mobile use TM3. Not sure about Sprint, Note 3 users should be able to see this in ServiceMode. They all fall back to TM2 for robustness, except underground on NYC Subway platforms, where city is clearly trying to save money and has Transit Wireless install DAS that operates in SISO only mode with TM1 which effectively halves the throughput...

    Perhaps I am connected to the AWS band since I get over 30 megabits down everywhere, but I have seen the 70 and 80 megabits down 8nly in Midtown Manhattan. Now how do you get to the engineering screen 5o see which band you are connected to?

    I think there is a slight possibility of it happening. I just read an article about Sprint's 4G LTE Tri-Band , & it said the LG G2 will be getting it's Spark capabilities starting 2014. What that basically should mean is that Sprint or LG is gonna send out an update to the LG G2 enabling Spark capabilities. If im correct then couldn't Sprint ask Apple to do the same?

    Nope, that catn't happen because the iPhone 5c, 5s only have LTE radios for the 800mhz and 1900mhz bands.

    T-Mobile's deployment reminds me of China's buildings. They complete them in a few months but then they fall apart because they got rushed. Sprint is building to last.


    Fair enough, but that doesn't matter to the average customer. They care about if their lte phone can be used now, no 3 months down the road. The tmobile CEO is getting in my nerve with his bragging. I wanna see the 800 MHz band fully in new york because that will be the difference. Anyways there is a clear site in 116 street and park avenue, that site operate together with a new sprint network vision site. I believe that is TD LTE live.

    In an ironic twist, it appears that AT&T, one of Sprint's key wireless competitors, will get a big piece of a first round of buildouts, said to involve about a dozen of Sprint's largest, most concentrated markets, including Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, D.C., and New York City. "AT&T cleaned house," says a source, noting that AT&T already had an advantage because it had fiber near a lot of the tower locations initially targeted by Sprint. Plus, "AT&T dropped its pants on pricing
