I can personally verify that there is no 1x800 or B26 in Seattle. Telus's MIKE iDen network will shut down on January 29, clearing Canada's side of the border. I thought that Washington state was done rebanding but it looks like there's going to be more waiting for B26 and 1x800 here :'(
-
Wait Washington public safety still has to reband? I thought we were just waiting for Canada now!
-
You can select enhanced LTE in the list. It is below 4G LTE and isn't the default setting. Kinda weird but that's what they did with spark coverage.
-
Not sure if this is the right place to put this but I just thought that the times sure have changed with Verizon now willing to buy out your contract and giving bonus data to switch! http://flip.it/voAfc
-
EXACTLY. It really bugs me that the LTE25 and 26 are only a few dbm apart. I feel like 800 is definitely capable of more than a few dbm better than 1900.
-
My aunt and uncle who I visit frequently get -114 B26 in their house and probably -98 to -100 3G in their house. The LTE is usable. I can surf Twitter and stream low def video. The 3G can't do s***. It's annoying that B26 isn't on at greater power because it drops to 3G sometimes which is unusable. Just a few dbm better signal would make the LTE stable and usable always.
-
My experience, although purely anecdotal, is that LTE 800 always works better than 3G in fringe areas. I can see your point though.
-
Sprint should really change that I think. If Verizon can get LTE13 to last until -98 on CDMA800, we can definitely get LTE26 to eclipse CDMA1900. Sprint just has to do it.
-
Oh that makes sense. So once sprint refarms some more PCS LTE and gets more 2.5 carriers up, they may increase power levels on B26?
-
So Verizon has just increased the power on their LTE to higher really? Also wouldn't it make more sense if the signals were equivalent on the same band (PCS LTE)?
-
I thought 800 was meant for coverage while 1900 and 2.5 were capacity? And also it's not like a single site in referring to - my overall experience has been that 800mhz LTE dies (-120) when 3G on 1900mhz is ~-98 to -100
-
Ok so this conversation has raised a question for me. How is it that Verizon's 700 MHz LTE dies when CDMA800 is at about -98 when Sprints 800 MHz LTE cannot eclipse CDMA1900?
-
Well it can't hurt. And probably yes.
-
Just out of curiosity what carrier settings does your mother have on her iPhone?
-
Did sprint and mb/mc finally come to an agreement?
-
Band 30 will be live by my house soon. Noticed the att phone had no service and I went out to check on the tower and saw ppl working on it. The att engineer said they were installing band 30 equipment everywhere which would be live soon. He couldn't give me specifics on when but be on the lookout for live band 30. Im sure it will be on "soon" in other markets as well.
-
Oh but not like every site
-
Oh the food is in Seattle WA.
-
Wait Ericsson is deploying 4x2 MIMO on LTE1900?
-
Yea we don't have 800mjz equipment up at all here so the deployment probably won't be as quick.
-
I notice that on AT&T too all the time considering I spend a lot of time in an area with -114 to -118 LTE/HSPA. Phone holds on to LTE a lot better. How would they compare if they were both 5mhz tho?
-
From what I've read this is it but I may be wrong. I think that sprint should start putting up 800mhz equipment now in preparation for the frequencies to become usable so that 800mhz can be turned on as soon as possible. Right now you are right, we only have 1900mhz equipment as far as I know.
-
So it looks like Telus is shutting down their MIKE iDen network on Jan. 29, 2016. So how long will it take sprint to fire up LTE 26 here in Seattle after that? Will they be able to start right away or will we have to wait for something?
-
So something like CDMA>GSM>HSPA>LTE
-
With more time you can expand the range to 120 km
