To follow up I received the following text: Great news! Your 4G LTE CellSpot setup has been successful at XXXXXXXXX.
I looked over at the unit, all the lights were solid green. Checked my phone and it showed 'full bars'. Wow this thing is a beast. Went all around the house upstairs & downstairs and FAST speedtests and full bars throughout. MUCH better than any of the Sprint Airaves or Magicboxes that I've had over the years by far...
I just switched my 1st of 6 lines to TNX a couple days ago. When on the phone I was talking about the near zero cell signal in my basement on both Sprint and T-Mo bands. They said that since I have a TNX line I can get a Cellspot which UPS just dropped off 30 min ago. I plugged it in and the power light is flashing, so assume it's configuring/booting up. It's not "live" yet...
I unplugged the Airave. It simply will no longer connect to it.
They just updated the T-Mob equipment on the tower nearest me so hopefully it will be broadcasting B71 from it soon. If so, it should eliminate the need for the Airave entirely.
It's not just I80, it's the entire state from what I have noticed. And it seems to be capped at 256/256kb. VERY slow. Wish USCC was prioritized like it used to be!
US Cellular is a roaming partner for T-Mobile like Sprint? how are the speeds on it when roaming? hard cap or are they good?
I wonder if you can force roam like you mention on Pixel devices? This would be great for me. I am on a Sprint sim and lately instead of roaming on US Cellular (very adequate speeds) it's been roaming on AT&T (horrible speeds)!!!
Just ran a speedtest while connected to my Magic Box Gold. It was substantially higher than any previous time before. For the heck of it, I checked the software version and it's 15.17.50.557
Just wanted to throw that out there.
This exactly. Same here in Nebraska. Sprint used to roam on USCC here and the speeds were very useable! Not like native Sprint but good enough.
Now when roaming, it wants to latch on AT&T and speeds are horrendous. Like throttled to .05 up and .05 down. SUCKS!
