You got to love B26. Inside Braman Honda in Lake Worth, never had an LTE signal unless you were within 10 feet from a door or wall. Now there's LTE even the middle of the building. Hopefully once full power, or optimization of the frequency, or whatever other reason there is for it being slower than what's supposed to be, it's finished or resolved, it should be awesome.

This is in West Kendall. It's slow like everyone else in here has shown, for whatever the reason maybe, but definitely beats being stuck in 3G.

How you guys know that the switch may be flipped on the 21st?

I know my phone doesn't support carrier aggregation, that's why I question whether it's an error, glitch or real. Don't know why screen shot didn't load, difficult to do anything while driving.

how you guys know it's 8t8r? look at this result of my speed test, it's this even possible without carrier aggregation?

I switched back from t-mobile, and boy, what a difference. In my opinion t-mobile is still a little better in both speed and coverage for data, but when you get connected to B41, there is no contest, and based on my experience B41 its available in more than 50% of the market, even when I'm connected to B25, the speeds are much better, I imagine that's due to the fact that less and less people everyday are using that band as the primary LTE connection.

Hi guys, left for TMUS about 8 months ago, data experience has been better, but not the voice (thou with the activation of VoLTE, it has definitely improved), with the new family share plan offer, and the offer to pay for my ETF's, it seems like a good opportunity to switch back, but I would have to get at least 3 new phones, and that means spending money. My question is, how does the network performance compares today to 9 months ago? It's B41 covering now at least 50% of the market? Those that don't have Spark phones have seen a betterment of their performance since more and more users move off of the PCS band and onto the Spark as their primary data band? How about the old nextel band's deployment for LTE or even CDMA? I was a sponsor to the site, but my sponsorship has expired, I believe that Sprint with Softbank's help can really turn things around relatively quick, now that it isn't focus on merging anymore, but also don't want to spend unnecessary money if experience it's not going to be better than what it was when I left.

Thanks for your inputs in advance. 

No. Miami/Metro Dade has not cleared out of the way of Sprint's 800 spectrum yet. The FCC has given them an extension. Probably will not be able to begin until Summer.

Wasn't Nextel using this band in Miami-Dade up until 12 month ago? What's the problem now? Why was it ok then and not now? It's not like this is a spectrum band that was never used and now we need to like build a lot of new infrastructure for it. I know that new equipment needs to be installed in many places, but the issue seems to be with the frequency itself, not the equipment, why wasn't there an issues when the Nextel phones were using it?

Thanks.

Looks like it's a display model, not sure I would want to sign in to anything on that just for a screen shot. 

Exactly!!!!

Didn't want to start doing anything to the phone that belong to the store, didn't think they were going to let me try it.

This is what Spark looks like after a speed test in the greater Miami area.

Has anyone in one of the five markets where the new spark network has been somewhat launched has any updates as to whether the one of the new tri-band phones has picked up the network? I know that the both LG's are not getting the spark update until early 2014, but the Galaxy Mega, & the mini S4 are supposedly go to go out of the box for the spark connection. 

Thanks guys for the response. I went ahead and decided that instead of asking the question I should have do some research and found a bunch of different ways and places where it's all there.

Ok so, Signal Check Pro is saying 1x800 is it telling the truth? How would I know for sure. I have a Note 2 with 55015 prl. Mind you I changed from the 2006 prl and it did not have 1x800. I'm in Los Angeles, if that matters.....

how do you manually change your prl. I would love to give it a try
