Does sprint have service in these areas

 

 

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I had very useful and reliable Sprint LTE in the entire area. All of the carriers are good there, I've just gotten used to Verizon only functioning sometimes there.

Does anyone know how are Verizon speeds in Abq?

I consistently get 20mbps, although some areas are extremely overwhelmed. Uptown ABQ for example, no service in Coronado, subpar data in the area.

Any new tower sites going up or new sites with band 26 on them

I haven't seen any more with b26 recently. Back when 800 was rolled out in the city (ABQ) I think right away most started broadcasting b26

Totally. I had to switch one of my lines to Verizon for work, and have learned Verizon's rough areas. Specifically ABQ Uptown on Louisiana is completely unusable for Verizon almost all times of day.

Exactly! Being a working college student I spend a lot of my time shopping and it's a little saddening that I get unusable data at Albuquerque's more upscale boutique mall. From Verizon...

Not technically. It is the same market - the Albuquerque Market.

 

ABQ already had band 26. Not all sites have it and those that don't suffer. However, high traffic areas of town Jefferson center, Louisiana Malls and UNM seem to be pretty good. Downtown is awful.

How has the load balancing been so far? If sprint would get a second carrier b25 there or upgrade the pcs to 10×10 mhz Albuquerque could have a solid network until b41 gets there.

 

Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Honestly, quite well. I almost always have usable data, which is what keeps people like us on Sprint. I think my average is about 1-2mbps

I did see the Albuquerque report. Performance is down from the last report. I did hear him say Albuquerque is getting band 26. Any new activity on that?

 

Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Albuquerque has had plenty of b26 for quite a while.

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk

So I'm hearing the S7 supports Band 25 Carrier aggregation. If so is this even live in any cities yet? Or just a simple software upgrade?

 

Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

The iPhone 6S does as well, but this is something Sprint most likely isn't going to implement at all on their side.

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk

rootmetrics now changed the website to show average speeds... this is Albuquerque and el paso!

 

Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

You always could by pressing "how these are calculated" button in each report, but nice to see it's more easily available.

Interesting as well, ATT has applied for at least 12 permits to towers they are on. I searched via Google Maps and all of the towers are either colocated with TMo, Sprint or Verizon. Each of those entities has the newest equipment up there (with the except of sprint band 41). Seems like ATT is going to be getting a capacity/speed boost with Band 30 here?

Very well could be! I've noticed Verizon and T-Mobile have both been densifying heavily at least on the east side of town.

Did they announce this or what the roaming agreements modified?

Sprint didn't, but when someone here analyzed the latest PRL, that person (I forgot who) noted that a lot of Verizon EVDO roaming was added for everyone.

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk

Verizon EVDO roaming here in Albuquerque as well! Displays as "Extended 3G" now versus "Extended 1x"

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk

Yes. I am roaming on my Fi on all Sprint CDMA roamers. Including Verizon. And my usage counts all the same.

 

Sent from OnePlus 2 using Tapatalk

For clarification, does that mean that the domestic roaming caps on postpaid Sprint accounts don't necessarily apply to Fi?

Anyone here planning have some fun in the snow tomorrow? Looking like about 8+ inches in my area here in Nebraska, always rely on that LTE to keep me connected!

I just got 28" just outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the family and I are loving it!

So, my lease is up on the iPhone 6 I have, and I'm considering making the possible leap to the 6S Plus, vs the 6S. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I tried the 6 plus from the 6 and it took a good few weeks for me to get used to the size. Because of that, and also price, when the 6s came out, I went with the standard 4.7" model. But I think with a good week or two it may be better. I did like the high quality screen with the Plus, and also the battery life was flawless for my heavy usage.

iPhone 6S noob here...how does the 3D touch work? I have tried pressing on icons (camera app) but the only luck I get is all the icons start to shake, what gives?

It's all about different levels of pressure. One way you can play around with it is in the messages app. There you can see the "peek" and "pop".

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk

So what kind of speeds can you get on B26 in Albuquerque? I ask because I just spent a week in San Angelo Tx with B26 all over the place and the best speeds I get were less then 1MB down or up.

 

 

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

it varies by location drastically. Typically around 3-5 Mbps I've seen at least in the east side of town.

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk

Sprint is beating tmobile in call and texting. Tmobile is doing terrible in call performance though. Sprint is last in reliability too. Also way behind at the airports. Like I said its not over but Sprint is not beating T-Mobile at the moment.

 

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Oh I get you, I'm just saying the # of total individual awards does not entail the network's placement for the overall national performance rating.

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk

Oh I know that. Im looking at the 2nd half still underway and Sprint is definitely not beating T-Mobile at the moment. Plenty of markets left though.

 

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

In the first half, T-Mobile was also well ahead Sprint in # awards, yet Sprint still placed overall above T-Mobile.

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk

Honestly I am in complete awe at the distance/power of Sprint's one site in Socorro. Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile each have 3+ sites right in the town, and still have a handful of dead zones throughout town, whereas I have never been off LTE since they added B26 here.

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk

Poor Albuquerque. I knew Sprint was going to stay last though. Maybe next round of testing we will actually have a B41 site.

i wish I had the time to head out there tonight. I want to know if carrier aggregation was activated right away as well

It's date night for me, looks like we might be taking a detour. Besides what is a better date then to witness the first sights of B41 in Albuquerque?!?!?!
