  1. It’s on in the rural areas. A 10 MHz channel and a 5 MHz channel. Saw it at Jay Cooke and up in Eveleth. Nothing in the city yet. You might want to activate an AT&T prepaid sim if you’re going to be up here longer than a few days. AWS is a 20 MHz carrier now and there’s lots of B14 and 66.

    I might was thinking TMO or vzw. I'll see. Does the unlocked S9+ have B14? I can't remember

    Nothing I’ve seen beyond what’s already there. Mall area is lacking it... where other carriers have tons of spectrum deployed and Verizon is even building small cells. Good luck.

    Well phone is unlocked [emoji6]. Tho I don't wanna give up my Kickstarter plan. 29 bucks after tax and fees. You might not know any B71 there on T-Mobile yet?

  3. Considering they would not be able to afford to roll it out anyway. I would say the chances are 1-2%. It would be better spent on the on going network because 600 million is not much money at all in telecommunications. That's like 1.5 months worth of upgrades.

    Yeah only happen if they partner with dish or dish owns them and then Dish pays to roll it out. Not sure how hard it is to add B71 to Sprints existing equipment. I can be done tho

  4. It does. B41 helped b25 even more than it helped b26. Add 4x4 mimo and 256qam plus 10mhz and even further band 25 coverage which helps b26 by keeping people off of it more often and they have something. However b26 still needs to be aggregated because it's still really slow. It helps the other carriers alot by doing this and Sprint should have followed suit years ago.

    Do you know if the Galaxy S10 can do B25+25 upload CA? I've have heard that phone can do upload CA on FDD.

  5. My point is that spectrum is available, Sprint just decided to keep upload speeds alot less of a priority.

    Unfortunately and I don't like it. I live in Minnesota and ever summer I go up north which has had very little B41 so the network was completely unusable even upload pics would fail. There was no excuse for that either, cause they have enough spectrum for 10x10 B25 there it's only 5x5 tho Hope it's better this summer cause of tri band upgrades.

  6. Verizon also is showing pretty low upload speeds on 5G. Are they both just aggregating NR on an LTE carrier?
    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

  7. This is getting ridiculous.

    What’s the reason for the hold up?

    No clue. It did pop up one time on my phone n lasting like 2 mins then never again. I'm not buying a new phone just to get it either. I know I have the unlocked model but that shouldn't matter. Sprint models don't have it either

  8. That’s crazy it’s taking so long for VoLTE to launch on the S9/Note 9.
    So if the S9 was the Test device (and I think it had to be based on the test cycle) it was running on CDMA for voice.
    No clue all I know is I can't talk and surf on my S9+

  9. True. I’m curious what Test devices were used.
    Does the S9 support VoLTE at this point? (I know the S8 and S10 do.)
    If an S9 was used, it speaks to the state of Sprint’s CDMA Network during testing.
    Otherwise if an S10 (or iPhone XS/Max) was used with VoLTE enabled, you’re spot on about VoLTE being launched. Otherwise, it was pulling the same CDMA.
    Still no VOLTE on the S9 or note 9

  10. 64 QAM 2x2 MIMO 20 MHz Config 2
    3 x 112.5 = ~ 337.5 mbps
    256 QAM 4x4 MIMO 20 MHz Config 2
    3 x ( 112.5 x 1.33 ) ( 2 ) = 3 x ( 150 ) ( 2) = 3 x 300 = ~ 900 mbps aka gigabit class LTE. 
    Hey Tim how many cell sites actually have 256 qam on it?
