  1. This is good news though - I'm definitely not complaining. 1.9 expansion is great and 2.5 will help congestion in a lot of markets.
  2. Yea, at least in Seattle, they put special 1900 panels up and it will take a very long time to replace them with 800 panels, judging from how long the initial LTE rollout took. I'm not getting my hopes up for anything earlier than Q3 2016. Maybe Q2.
  3. Sprint should just start building out its own network in Sioux Falls and turn it on as soon as the swifter contract is up - heck, include it in project cedar!
  4. I don't see why even tmo would expand to a state like Montana - 6 ppl/mi2 is nothing - even if they captured a good half of the market...
  5. Apparently not. I know the MTA licenses have specific requirement based on spectrum depth (10mhz, 15mhz: 25% pops; 30mhz: 33% pops I think) but apparently these requirements are literally "substantial service". I don't know how they could have been more generic lol.
  6. That seems really generic...so by June next year they need to have a running network in Montana/Wyoming/ND/SD that covers say 30% of the ppl?
  7. What exactly are the PCS G block's build out requirements? What percentage of the population by when?
  8. That's bang in the middle of the PCS D block and B block...which exact spectrum holdings did nTelos have?
  9. Yea I have seen those microwave antenna thingys on huwei equipment too...does anyone have any idea what those actually are?
  10. Also, AT&T falls back to HSPA+ to take calls and since I see DBMs like -125 on AT&T LTE a lot and calls go through just fine, their phones must be able talk to the network just fine. Maybe it's that lower frequencies like B17 (700mhz) work better at those DBMs?
  11. I have AT&T iPhones and I see them holding LTE as far as -125 on B17, functioning fine...
  12. Has anyone seen any B41 CA in the pudget sound area yet because Seattle was supposed to be one of the CA markets
  13. Ok that makes sense. So which members does sprint have agreements with right now?
  14. Wait they aren't required to allow roaming with Sprint? I thought all CCA member were required to allow roaming on their network from all of the other members...
  15. I will be getting a 6S when it releases on sep. 18 or whenever so I will be able to access B41.
  16. I honestly think that sprint will end up aggregating 20mhz TDD-LTE bands in 2600 and stay away from FDD-TDD aggregation. I can see them doing stuff with 800 and 1900 aggregation though...
  17. I mean I've seen devices hold on as low as -140 LTE but the programming doesn't let them normally. I really wish the phone programming had it holding on until ~130 or so because LTE on B41 is still very usable at that signal. From my experience, 1900 is good until about -120 too.
  18. Yea if only our phones held on to weak LTE like -112...
