WISP is using that cause there probably isn't much congestion if any. I can see congestion being an issue depending on where you live, just like 2.4GHz. But overall nice to get 26MHz of free lowband WiFi.

I've driven over 500miles in central and southeast WA with SPC logging and not a single B26 was logged. With how the region is islands of LTE, and even hit some roaming there is plenty of times where I should have got B26 on the edge as well as in some of the cities where I drop to 3G going into stores. Didn't hit B26 until I went to get gas is Oregon even though I got B41 and B26 on the same strip of road I traveled to get gas. Only went into Oregon a few miles.

So I have been in Washington and I haven't seen any B26. I thought that it was just a 100mile exclusion zone with Canada, and could get a little closer if just using 1x800. I've been 5 minutes from the Oregon border and no B26. I went into a local town in Oregon for gas, (bit cheaper) and the Oregon tower has B26 on it. Run into a little bit of 1x800 closer to the border, but in places like Yakima and Wenatchee never ran into 1x800. Even Wenatchee is just outside the 100 mile range.

My wifes S6 accessed USCC LTE B12 a few days ago.

I wish. Not band 12 on the N5. The S6 had LTE, not mine. So I don't know if B2, B5 or B4 was on either in that area.

Hit USCC roaming in Washington. 3G and LTE. LTE was band 12 5MHz. Tested it and pulled in 6Mbps in nowhereville. Then it changed over to 10MHz after a few miles.

Have Amazon Prime? Amazon has some good series on Instant Video.

Yeah, the B41 antennas are small, and so the Dual Band 25/26 antennas cause they aren't much bigger. You look at any other antenna the other carriers use that support low-band, they look to be easily 2ft taller.

Got an inch here in WA. Glad I am visiting here. Where I live it is hot and flooded out.

Any idea why there wouldn't be any B26? Its well far enough away from the IBEZ. There is 1x800, but I haven't connected to it much, almost flat here. Even hold onto B41 for a rediculous distance and I still hang onto it even near the -130dBm range. Downtown could really use the B26. Go inside a store and it drops to 3G.

AT&T deployments gotta be wacky with their spectrum holdings. Looks like some nice great though! Looks to give them some great flexibility. The antenna looks similar to some of what they are currently using, other than many the addition of WCS and maybe 4T4R? How come Sprint doesn't use an antenna like this. I mean, they use a dual band antenna as well, but antennas that support low band frequencies are much longer than Sprint's. Sprints PCS/SMR antenna looks to be only inches bigger than the 2.5GHz antenna. Wouldn't the size have a negative impact on propagation?

Does anyone know the exact frequencies this 900MHz is in that Sprint sold?

From personal experience PCS 3G is far superior than B26 LTE. When I drop B26 LTE outside or inside, I get PCS 3G. Then 1x800 is CRAZY. Very unpredictable on where and how you get it.

So Walla Walla has CA on B41. Also has two PCS LTE carriers. I have not be able to get any B26 signal, however I have gotten 1x800. Shameful that there is no B26, needs it downtown where you get kicked down to 3G as soon as you enter a store.

Do you know if the 2 for $100 unlimited would charge me an access fee?

Really!? Doesn't that add like $25/mo to my bill for an access charge? Currently on 2 for $100.

I would get a Note 5 if I can find a sweet deal. Wireless charging + Samsung Pay = oh yea! But I like to have a phone that supports 3x2CA and MIMO.

There are two articles on FW right now about ATT doing wireless broadband testing as well as another small provider in VA. I don't really get why they have to test. No like there isn't a huge WISP community that uses all kinds of spectrum to deliver WiFi, WiMax, and LTE wireless broadband. Shoot, TMo bought a wireless broadband provider in MI that used 700A over LTE. If you gonna do it, freaking do it dangit!

Well shoot. AT&T is making it really hard to spot that new equipment! Antenna just has subtle changes and that RRU too would be hard to identify in a drive by. Cool antenna, wide flexibility. So no live B30 access out in the wide discovered yet?

So... AT&T had stated summer Band 30 deployments iirc. Has Band 30 been spotted anywhere yet? Or B30 equipment if it is still just in testing mode?

I do BYOP because I like Nexus devices. For my wife we did lease. It makes sense. It is the same thing as easy pay, just cheaper monthly payments really. After 2 years I just keep paying until paid off, or trade in. But, she keeps phones for a while. She has an S6, and after two years that phone will not be worth $200. Just look at the S5. I can pick one up for $200 easy and it is only 1.5yrs old. Lease is best cause she does like to upgrade, and this way we don't have to pay full price for the phone or have to deal with selling it.

Meh...

Actually, I just remember I have a copy of Photoshop laying around. So... what is the easy way to grabs Sprints full coverage map off their website?

Anyone wanna do this if it hasn't been done yet. If it has been done, please provide link! I want a Sprint map that shows "Sprint Spark" coverage that includes the LTE Roaming. But then I would like to have this map show the 3G roaming as well. So have the Spark LTE map in the foreground, and then just put the 3G and More map in the background so we can see the 3G roaming only where LTE and LTE roaming do not exist.

Nooo!!! Damn you USCC... Assuming that B12 device is required if the given market only has 700B.
