Forgot to post this Speedtest I took earlier in Brockport, NY which is 20min west of Rochester and was founded along the Erie Canal. I have done many speed tests over the years dating back to fall 2014 when I first got my iPhone 6 and Sprint had begun to really expand 4G. With that said, it was not until this Speedtest that I had topped 300 mbps down or over 20mbps upload. This was done on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, which is obviously an Advanced LTE device. I still do not know for certain what today’s announcement will be but New T-Mobile is already surpassing my expectations. Just think how much faster this Speedtest could have been had my iPhone been packing a Qualcomm X50 modem as opposed to the Intel XMM 7660 modem.

That’s a damn good and realistic idea, I think it might be just that. [emoji1417] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New T-Mobile will have completed their layer cake in the cities where Sprint 5G got shutdown. Really ambitious but I will go with that lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.fiercewireless.com/operators/verizon-to-stop-certain-ad-claims-5g-coverage In other news, the duopoly is sparing with each other over speeds/coverage and seems to be feeling the heat put on by New T-Mobile. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.fiercewireless.com/operators/verizon-s-cbrs-3-5-ghz-deployments-rise-rootmetrics New T-Mobile seems really aggressive with the rollout and I am sure the executives realize that any advantage they have on VZW will surely dissipate. VZW is almost ready to rollout their own mid band spectrum and we know AT&T is not sitting idle either. Factor in the Note 20 and iPhone 12 launches, New T-Mobile really needs to keep up the pace to keep churn down! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Talk about someone who is clearly misinformed. Once the big metros are all set, the nationwide rollout will kick it into overdrive and should be almost wrapped up by Christmas! [emoji2363][emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was taking at the cottage but I definitely regret not taking a Speedtest when I got back on I-81 to head home as I took the screenshot of the five bars/full service. My iPhone 11 Pro Max was definitely loving AT&T and hauling ass. Either way, 5 mbps down in the middle of nowhere is awesome and a major improvement from before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The same thing happened to me when I was visiting a friends cottage up in the Thousands Islands and my iPhone began roaming on AT&T when I got past Alexandria Bay exit. Just like what the previous user posted, I actually had awesome and usable service. That never was the case with just Sprint as my iPhone would just show 1X and basically be useless as Mapquest or Google maps would crash. Something tells me New T-Mobile is willing to pay more for usable roaming service in an effort to keep the churn rate down. [emoji1417] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.fiercewireless.com/5g/t-mobile-deactivates-sprint-s-legacy-2-5-ghz-5g-ahead-re-deployments New T-Mobile is officially running the show now and repurposing all of Sprint/Clearwire 2.5 GHz Spectrum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.pcmag.com/news/race-to-5g-putting-5g-to-the-test This should reveal the true state of 5G in America amongst the big 3 and show what progress New T-Mobile has made. [emoji848][emoji1432] PS: Seeing Sprint faded out is truly bittersweet but who knows if they could have survived or went bankrupt. [emoji53] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

https://techcrunch.com/2020/07/01/dish-closes-boost-mobile-purchase-following-t-mobile-sprint-merger/ This deal should help free up some more capital for New T-Mobile now that Boost and Virgin Mobile are officially in Dish’s hands. [emoji389][emoji1430] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Paul coming over would be another blow to Verizon as I am sure they thought he would disappear with Sprint. Him and the lady at AT&T seem to be the best spokespersons in the telecom industry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.speedtest.net/result/i/3960908526 No official word on if New T-Mobile moved us Sprint customers over in ROC, NY but the unusually high upload speeds show me that T-Mobile has definitely done some network upgrades. I’m also getting much better service in places where Sprint was borderline useless. Hopefully, the New T-Mobile continues making progress and reaching more rural areas. Be nice to have solid service up in the Adirondack’s and Mohawk Valley where I grew up. [emoji100][emoji390][emoji1430] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am a small investor myself and do have 1 share of T-Mobile, which was formerly 10 shares of Sprint. Yes, telecom stocks will see exponential growth, but you are better off investing in the actual 5G tech stocks aka Qualcomm, Resonant, Gilat, Commware, Nokia, etc... Those stocks will see massive gains once Apple officially unveils on the iPhone 12 5G lineup on 09-22-20. [emoji389][emoji1605] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you tried going into Settings, General, About to install the OTA Carrier Sprint 41.1 update? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Of course, that only benefits people who can access mmWave... which has an 800 foot radius off of the cell site and poor building penetration. In fact: Verizon is having to go with the "Magic Box" approach for mmWave here. How about that... Hmmm, I was looking to invest in Pivotal Commware last week as I had saw it in a market mover report last week. Thanks for sharing, this just might be another 5G stock to keep an eye on going into this summer. [emoji1417] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

https://www.imore.com/apple-vs-qualcomm-what-happened-who-won-and-what-comes-next Long article but perfectly explains the legal battle that took place between Apple vs. Qualcomm. For the iPhone 7,8,10 models, Apple split the modem suppliers 50-50 as Intel supplied all AT&T/T-Mobile/GSM devices and Qualcomm supplied all Verizon/Sprint/CDMA models. Once things fell through in 2017, Apple went exclusively with Intel for the 10s series with their new XMM 7560 modem that had mixed results as reception greatly lagged behind the Android devices with Qualcomm modems. This past fall, the iPhone 11 lineup still went with Intel as the settlement had happened too late for Qualcomm to meet the iPhone production timeline. For myself, I enjoy my iPhone 11 Max Pro but was definitely expecting much better cell reception than my iPhone 8 Plus and that’s not the case. Hence, I will most likely upgrade to the iPhone 12 Pro Max by the end of this year. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Apple may have bought out Intel’s wireless division with the goal of building their own modems but Qualcomm is still the undisputed king. Apple and Samsung know it to be true as they both prefer to use Qualcomm over their in house or other modems. Therefore, I hope Apple scratches their plans to make a modem and just sticks with Qualcomm. Apple can most certainly afford to do biz with Qualcomm and should not go cheap when asking $1k+ for a flagship device. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I give Intel credit for doing a decent job with the latest XMM 7660 Advanced LTE modem found in the iPhone 11 lineup. However, the signal strength is not much of an improvement over my iPhone 8 Plus that had the Qualcomm x16 modem. Bottom line, it is hard to compete with the Apple iPhone when it has a Qualcomm modem in it as the Snapdragon 865 still cannot touch the A13 Bionic. The iPhone 12 with 5G will be a big improvement but I argue that the return to Qualcomm will be just as big. In the video below, the S20 Ultra barely edges out the 11 Pro Max and it makes me wonder if things would be different if it had the Qualcomm modem that is in the Note 10+.

https://www.t-mobile.com/news/tmobile-intel-nasa-launch-5g-open-innovation-lab Some good things should come out of this 5G Open Innovation Lab. Definitely excited to see New T-Mobile trying to position itself for success and reinforce the brand. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Amen to that! [emoji1431] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PhillipJames89, thanks for sharing! New T-Mobile will be a force to be reckoned with if they can keep up this progress as it will allow them the opportunity to keep deploying the 2.5 GHz everywhere without having to worry about churn. I was worried about simple minded people seeing Verizon and AT&T MMWave in action, resulting in them ditching T-Mobile for faster 5G. Hopefully, people give Ray and Saw some time to keep fine tuning the network. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
