    This is how I saw it. No need to dedicate all the 2.5 to N41, when the site only has 1gbps backhaul. 100MHz N41 will already be fully saturated. Keeping b41 active allows LTE devices have a good experience in the meantime until backhaul is improved.

    Many sites in my county I count 29 so far goes well over 1GB download. So I don’t see the need to have 90mhz on LTE and 170mhz on NR.

    I didn't realize Video was throttled to 1.5 Mbps on TNX lines. I haven't noticed any performance change in video.

    It would make sense to have the new "Sprint" iPhones released with a T-Mobile physical SIM, or else these customers will suddenly lose service on June 30, 2022.... Unless they come up with another way to have customers re-provision their devices to T-Mobile with a pushed update, etc. I'm curious how they'll do this. Perhaps with an eSIM?

    I also wonder what will happen to current TNX customers when they upgrade this Fall. It would be crazy to have to provision a Sprint SIM first and then switch to a T-Mobile SIM. Hopefully they don't have us do that.

    Video is only throttled on TNX lines that are legacy. The Premium plan is NOT throttled even on TNX

    Hey everyone! My phone got stolen last week, and the new phone I received was set up with TNX. As a result, I can’t roam on several of the Sprint sites I used to roam on, including my home site.

    Does anyone have any experience getting off TNX? I’ve tried two legacy Sprint stores as well as customer care (via phone) with no luck. I’m really hoping I can get this resolved soon - I don’t want to have to port to AT&T or VZW. 

    The good news is they will port you back over without issue usually. The bad news is Sprint LTE is going offline in June 2022 and even before that Tmobile will be taking spectrum from Sprint before then meaning your network experience is going to suffer anyway. You might as well switch.

    Yes my S20 FE does support SA.  The n71 is probably on a different tower that is farther away.  According to SCP, n71 has a weaker signal at my house than B2.

    I think the band selector app is pretty interesting.  When combined with SCP, tower chasing should be fun.

    If n71 has weaker signal at your house than b2 then you are using intercell CA that tmobile quietly rollout. It takes n71 from towers that have it and aggregates it with towers that are within reach that doesn't have it. All for that 5G icon.

    Meanwhile, here's what's happening at TIDAL:

    Jack posted a whole thread about this.

    Here's some background: https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/4/22313108/square-inc-tidal-majority-stake-jack-dorsey-jay-z

    (Note: Sprint invested $200 Million for 33% of the Company back in 2017.)

    Between the 800 MHz rebanding finally being done, and TIDAL now getting new ownership by Jack's company "Square", we live in interesting times.

    So I don't know if you know this but last month tmobile quietly sold its 33% of tidal back to the company. Tmobile wants nothing to do with Tidal.

    Verizon and AT&T are the more superior networks in the Gainesville area. Especially when you get out of the city limits to the outskirts...meaning little towns like Alachua, Williston, Newberry, Hawthorne, and Archer. 

    Your wrong about Williston. Tmobile just gave Williston n41, b41, b71 n71 and b66. Previously it was 5mhz of b12 and 10mhz of b2. Believe me when I found it a few days ago I was shocked. And yes they are now faster than Verizon in Williston. I have all 3. ATT also upgraded to 5G almost around the same time.

    They routed the radios thru the 600mhz antenna and when the do that b2 and b66 gets a 20-30% coverage increase from what it was with the older equipment. Then standalone n71 goes further even more than b71.

    I am very content with T-Mobile service around the Melbourne FL area. I will be moving to the Gainesville FL area so my opinion might change.😄

    Your opinion won't change. Tmobile is very good in Gainesville Fl. And lots on n41 is online. They have 20mhz of b66, 20mhz of b2, 10mhz of n71, 5mhz of b71 and b12, and 60mhz of n41 as well as 40mhz of b41 online in Gainesville.

    The One UI 3 Android 11 update is available for S20 series now at least for me on a TNX S20 Ultra.

    I'm on beta 6 and it says it's officially out but it's not showing up for me and I'm on TNX with S20 Ultra. Must be because I have a unlocked S20 Ultra.

    I'm uncertain. It's been happening for a while now. Typically T-Mobile fixes the sites weeks or months down the line.

    Well the same thing is happening here. That's why I asked. Its really hurting the network. Something so basic and they couldn't get it right. They are throwing up equipment and spectrum now and optimizing later.

    I've been complaining about the split eNB IDs in the NYC forum. T-Mobile has been doing upgrades super fast here but they're also splitting eNBs on every sight they touch. My home site currently has 3. One for Band 2/66, one for Band 12/71, and one for Band 41.

    A local site near my home used to have Band 2/66/12/71 on one eNB and when I connected to n71 it would aggregate Band 2 + Band 66 + Band 71 + n71. T-Mobile recently swapped out the antennas for newer multi-band antennas which caused an eNB split and now n71 will only aggregate with Band 2 and Band 66 because Band 12 and Band 71 have a separate eNB ID. 

    It has also caused issues for tracking site upgrades in Cellmapper.

    Why would they do this? It's making the network slower. Will they fix this?
