Paul Laurence Dunbar class of 98!

Same here but I've had them since 1998 - one year longer than even you. I was a senior in high school that year in Lexington, KY. Since then I've lived in both several portions of metro Cincinnati and also here in Atlanta. Even in the late 90s, I had no signal issues with Sprint even in Lexington. Anywhere I went - and I went to a lot of places during my college years (while at University of Kentucky)all over the United States - I tended to have service. When I didn't have it through Sprint I was roaming on Verizon for little or no cost. So it didn't matter to me as long as the damned thing worked. And it did....at least until the latter end of the 3G era during the much maligned rip and replace. By then I was deep into my stint here in Atlanta and after that really terrible period.....the service became stellar here. I mean awesome, even, at least at times. LTE here in Atlanta was absolutely fantastic. Low latency, high DL speeds.....tolerable upload speeds. That was a deliberate configuration as we all know but it certainly worked for most people. But change is inevitable and here we are. It's an ever evolving story!

indeed.

Makes perfect sense.

I personally think they've all got it wrong. 100% #teamchromebook over here!

Was in San Juan area feb 20 through 23rd for my 41st bday....was amazing and so was tmobile's performance! Great signal everywhere i went while my ATT toting friend was stuck having to use wifi or my phone as a hotspot! Interesting.

You are correct. I updated again without realizing you'd issued one and - voilá - problem quite resolved. Thank you.

So I'm getting "Clearwire" notifications on SCP since upgrading to the latest update as far as provider goes when the bands are clearly tmo (2 and 4, usually...with a smattering of 41). All of these indicated T-Mobile prior to last update. Why the odd discrepancy? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

Not "hot garbage"!!

This is a very good point. True, soccer ("football") may be the largest sport in the world - by far - but this isn't the rest of the world. This is the U.S. and soccer just isn't on the radar really here in the sort of capacity that would make any difference to/resonate with Sprint subs or potential subs. You're not going to reach mainstream folks pushing what amounts at least in this country to a niche sport. It is shocking the number of missteps they took over the years. Even more shocking is that they survived as long as they did. I would contend that is at least partially (if not wholly) due to the massive upgrades made to their network from 2H 2012 on. To suggest that the Sprint network didn't improve tremendously across the board would be a bold faced lie. They did a good job with threadbare resources. Ya gotta give em that.

I had a weird issue when trying to create that previous post, hence its messy nature. My apologies. I'm for some reason not able to simply create a new post. The system thinks I'm trying to modify my previous post...which I'm not. But I can't find a way around it.

Having issues attaching the third shot from Speedtest app. My speeds here in the Big Peach on Tmo B41 LTE are about exactly in line with what you're experiencing in the Big Apple. See attached.

I guess I'm just surprised at how often I'm now on 2.5 on TMobile for LTE (not 5G). When My Note 10+ was first moved over to the Tmo network I never saw any Sprint bands for months. Then band 41 began to appear now and again and now I'm pretty much parked on tmo B41 both at home and at work.

Here in Atlanta as well.

I will see what they're up to in Lexington. We'll be there for an extremely bizarre and socially distanced Thanksgiving. I will take notes. It's also the first time they're all meeting the boyfriend. Nervous AF but not too nervous to scout for *T4GRU. 😏

I had that happen a few weeks ago. A simple restart proved to be my fix.

Oh that's awesome! Nice research you did. Simple but brilliant. Looking forward to seeing what you uncover!

I see what you did there 😏.

I have a note 10+ but can still speak to loving 2.5. Wireless Dex is amazing. Best part, hands down.

Drats. Seems you're correct.

Wow if they're putting N41 on towers in markets as small as Lexington (roughly 340,000 in city proper) already then they are really on a roll! As much as I love my hometown I wasn't expecting them to give secondary and tertiary markets any attention until at least a year from now at the earliest. Yes, Lexington had widespread band 41 but it was only capable of 2xCA as it was based on mini macs (somehow that sounds like little rappers in my head but anyway). I like the speed with which tmo moves!

Shit. Wrong one. That was the after. This was the initial....

So after switching my phone back to Sprint by disallowing LTE roaming on my Note 10+, things went decidedly south. Predictively, my phone began performing rather poorly and wouldn't even load a simple web page...so I re-allowed LTE roaming (which seems to be how they're managing this in the background for Sprint users) gland now I'm cruising along handily on AWS spectrum. But, before connecting to band 4 I briefly connected to this here at my home in Midtown Atlanta. I feel like this is noteworthy. Am I wrong?

I didn't see the option under LTE editing to turn off tmo bands one by my one so I completely disabled LTE roaming and now I, too, am thankfully back on my extremely robust and fast Sprint band 41 signal. I don't know how long this workaround will work, however. I'm guessing not through the holidays as that spectrum gets rapidly refarmed.
