    At my house, AT&T's LTE is at about -114 to -118 and speeds are approx 1.5 down while HSPA is at -104ish and latency tests usually fail. If I don't disable LTE, my iPhone will hold it down to -126 or so.

    No. It must be something else. The WiMAX shutdown has no effect on other sprint LTE operations (b26 included).

    There are large rural areas as well with no roaming partners other than Verizon such as Montana, ND, SD, Wyoming and Nevada.

    100mb of roaming now not 300mb. Everything else seems pretty much the same. The 100mb is the only thing stopping me from switching.

    Other than AT&T VZW and USCC, who else holds B5? 10x10 low and in ANY market would be awesome for sprint

    You should also drive around a few of the towns you pass through when mapping so we can get a better indication as to where towers are located.

    #3 answered it for me. Every site near me is huwei. Thanks

    Does anyone know why one month after WiMAX has shut down in Seattle every site still has 1-2 carriers? I haven't seen a single EARFCN other than the old 40978 and 41176 (and I rarely even see 41176). Shouldn't sprint have a few more B41 carriers on air by now? Also, why do a lot of sites only broadcast 1 carrier (40978) and not two because the spectrum is free (40978 and 41176)?

    Ok so two things. I understand what you said about LTE doing better in the data department but 3G winning when it comes to voice but isn't that irrelevant because sprint doesn't do VoLTE anyways? My second question is: isn't there a means by which an LTE call can be handed to CDMA semi-smoothly now (http://www3.alcatel-lucent.com/wps/DocumentStreamerServlet?LMSG_CABINET=Docs_and_Resource_Ctr&LMSG_CONTENT_FILE=Data_Sheets/SCG_R9-0_EN_Datasheet.pdf and http://lteworld.org/blog/evolution-single-radio-voice-call-continuity-srvcc see release 9)?

    Doesn't LTE also outperform eHRPD/EVDO at the cell edge? I'm slightly confused as to how this pertains to how weak a signal the device should hold on to...could you elaborate?
  16. RAvirani
    I am literally so stupid sometimes
  17. RAvirani
    Those numbers are correct. That's why I was confused. With 20mhz carriers, they overlap.
  18. RAvirani
    Doesn't that overlap with 41176?
  19. RAvirani
    I have used AT&T 5x5 B17 and there is no change the the device's ability/willingness to hold on to B17. The same goes for T-Mobile which I have also used (not very much but once or twice). Also in my experience, -118ish on B26 is a lot more usable than the -100 or so on 3G I would get it if I weren't on LTE.
  20. RAvirani
    Yea...I've seen AT&T hold a steady -123 to -126 signal on Band 17...something just doesn't add up. If sprint would do this on B26 I think it's safe to say LTE coverage would match if not eclipse 3G coverage. Isn't that what sprint wants? It's also interesting that Sprint phones hold on to -118 to -122ish LTE on 1900mhz and 2500mhz...
  21. RAvirani
    Having used AT&T Band 17 a lot and very recently, Verizon Band 13 (my work decided it would be a good decision to give me a hotspot) a question has arised. Why is it that AT&T and Verizon devices can hold a -116 to -120 dbm signal on 700mhz if I put them in my pocket while while sprint can barely hold a -110 800mhz signal in my hand? A it just how sprint has programmed their phones or does the iPhone 6S have a terrible Band 26 antenna because it seems like sprint should hold onto that band 26 signal down to -120 at the very least and be very reluctant to drop to 3G.
  22. RAvirani
    Agreed. I see B41 more often than not so your experience isn't everything...
  23. RAvirani
    Where in Montana are you headed?
  24. RAvirani
    I bet they will. Remember the balls
  25. RAvirani
    Yea. It's definitely possible and probably legit.
