I don't believe that is in effect yet. Not until the end of October. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

Lack of funding. It'd be great if they could get then entire network up to the same level, but then we wouldn't all be gathered here because that would just mean it's not a struggling company. Sounds to get the network team involved to fix something you really need to be insistent. I had a fraudulent line added to my account yesterday, took a customer service rep asking his super what to do about it to get me to the fraud department after like 2 hours of contacting customer service. I realize it would have been easier to ask here for advice. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

You really do come across as a frustrated customer complaining about the network. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

That litteraly dounds like a bad tower compared to 10s of thousands that do work. So you are trolling when you state it so "matter of fact" that the entire network is like that. I cannot empathize with your situation. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

Yup, the beamforming 8t8r Sprint radios, I think I mentioned that earlier. Speaking if beamforming, I remember when these panels were initially announced a lot of the comments in tech blogs were saying it was just a gimmick and wouldn't really work. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

But we do agree that if it's a macro site it's designed to cover a larger than 2 city blocks radius on a normal city without the dense population of NYC and those places. The most coverage I've seen from a macro site is around 3 miles, but it's good to know they can reach even farther. So where did the myth that 2.6 GHZ can't reach far or inside buildings come from?

Faulty RRUs, inadequate configuration of power outputs to the ports? Who knows? If It's a Sprint 8t8r panel there's no reason for it to not cover the same area a 5 FDD B25 carrier does. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

Maintenance is a separate department, if it's determined that equipment is faulty they'll expedite replacement since it's supposed to be providing service at the moment. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

I understand small cells have a small service area and are used for capacity, but I'm macro sites. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

But not 2 blocks from the tower. If you do you should contact customer service and escalate a trouble ticket, you might have defective equipment in your area. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

2 blocks? Come on, quit your trolling, you have 3 additional carriers to pick from if you're so frustrated with Sprints performance. Most of them offering incentives for your business. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

Guess it's just the Clear sites. I got a little excited and didn't notice the lack of Clear sites being unreported. Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

Anyone know what causes SCP to identify the Sprint band with asterisks in the logs?

Nope, brownfield deployment. Trying to replace all their copper so they can get rid of their RT related electricity bills. It'll take years, but there is hope.

For me it's holding on to B26 like a champ and it even works a bit where the Note 5 would pull .24 mbps I'm getting around 1 mbps, even in the bottom floor of my house where the Note 5 would drop to 3G, 1x800 or even VZW roaming.

Well I haven't seen that 3rd carrier again and I'm running around town with CA disabled. Anyways, is it me or does San Antonio seem to show less LTE+ areas than it used to in the Sprint coverage maps? I know they aren't accurate but that's very odd.

1270 8/3/2016 20:22 -5 8/4/2016 13:04 -5 0 0 0 Sprint B41³ 310120 083DE608 382 12826 0 -113 So here is the entry in the SCP site log. Maybe it's a mistake.

Right, I forgot I'm not in a Samsung market anymore. I will have to do a doubletake on that to verify.

The GCI ending was 08, so it was the third sector and the signal strength was -113, so I don't understand why it's constantly bouncing through eHRPD, B25 and 1x VZW roaming. Even B25 at that strength has given me 1mbps up and down, but I guess it helps this city is covered with 2 B25 carriers. B26 was completely useless so I just turned that off. Anyways, voice is still great and so are texts and I have wifi so no real issues here.

Southeast area, around Rigsby and the 410 loop.

Just saw a bleep of the 3rd band 41 carrier in San Antonio. This is the first time I see it and it only shows up in my logs once.

The bars have been modified to show QoS rather than signal strength since it is what actually matters. We all know Band 26 is saturated with users and the user experience on it is not stellar. That being said, being stuck on Band 26 when you're right by the tower is strange and I have never seen a signal strength of -50 dbms for LTE. I thought based on the RSRP values being offset 20 dbms from the 3G values that the strongest LTE signal you could achieve was -60. I live right by a tower and have never seen anything stronger than that except on 3G.

I didn't experience any difference between here and San Antonio other than how badly Denver needs a second B25 carrier in areas of no B41 coverage, which it won't be getting. Clearwire is hit or miss in Denver as well. I used to live in Texas before Colorado.

I am moving to San Antonio. It's a growing city but the house prices are still very affordable. Since I can do my job from home the local economy wasn't much of an issue, but I would have still left even if I couldn't keep my job. Just maybe would have held on to all of my savings instead of putting money down on a house.

So closest to being honest on their branding. Better than Spark anyways. It was undersight that att didn't brand their LTE-A better. Probably cause it's not a full 20+20 CA and the results aren't as noticeable as Sprint.
