He won't post them. Tried to get him to.

Well Sprint only has B and G block in that area. They can only do 15x10 b25 at the max unless they just recently switched B block for C block with T-Mobile. That would give both contiguous 20x20.

Doesn't that just set it so it doesn't use 25 and 41 as the primary carrier?

That's what I thought. 5MHz 26 + 10MHz 25.

People tried to tell them that but they threw a hissy fit. I think I managed to get through to them though.

Ok. Someone is convinced that they are getting 67 down and 30 up over band 26 and I'm like "no".

Ok. Thanks!

So 4 downlink and 2 uplink?

Does Sprint have 4x4 MIMO enabled for band 26 anywhere?

According to Wikipedia there is no band 23.

Also for anyone interested. We are trying to set up an AMA with Dr. Saw over on r/Sprint. Don’t know if it’s going to happen because he’s super busy. Just thought you guys would be interested.

So would Dish be a spectrum Sugar Daddy then? How would Dish play into this?

They don’t have the money to buy it nationwide. They could probably squeeze it in limited areas where it’s needed most.

I think test drive trials would be good. I don’t think it would be the best idea to do it the way T-Mobile is doing it right now as it will cost them money to buy and send out hotspots.

Could buy it off of Dish only in areas they need it initially and start a slow 600MHz rollout.

I think if Sprint’s 5G deployment continues to go well, they’ll be able to buy themselves some time to figure out how to make a comeback.

The upload speeds weren’t terrible. They must’ve had upload CA enabled. I did see 31Mbps up on what must’ve been that newly widened 15x15 band 25. It was wonderful!

I was pleasantly surprised with Sprint’s performance in my recent short trip to San Diego. Inside the airport is still terrible to ok but outside the airport and around Pacific Beach was very good. I was extremely disappointed with Verizons service in Pacific Beach. Severe congestion led to the inability to break 2Mbps down. Here is a summary of my tests from this recent trip: Sprint Average DL: 57.75Mbps Verizon Average DL: 42.66Mbps Sprint Average UL: 8.07Mbps Verizon Average UL: 12.57Mbps Verizon’s average speeds were bolstered by excellent performance at the airport. Sprint’s fastest download speed was 149Mbps while out and about in Pacific Beach. Verizon’s fastest download was 123Mbps inside the airport at gate 36. This isn’t exactly scientific as these were the averages of only 7 tests so take it as you will.

Not my find. Thanks to denali42 on reddit.

No coverage from what I've heard.

5G speeds in Westwood: 560Mbps down, 31.6Mbps up, 15ms ping. OnePlus 7 Pro 5G.

5G reported in Chattanooga. https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments/cxnzvf/5g_is_lit_in_chattanooga_tn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x Edit: Detected at Gunbarrel Road and Shallowford Road. Speeds. Looks like Ericsson Massive MIMO units. @RAvirani, @lilotimz, am I correct?

T-Mobile is congestion city combined with poor coverage.

There are very few Sprint customers here. This is proven by the fact that I get consistently good speeds on 10x5 band 25.

Too many lawsuits for my liking.
