Portland market S9+ here and haven't noticed any speed difference with 256 QAM either. I would agree that perhaps speeds are a bit slower than a year ago here as well.

OKC customer service center is still open as well. I recently got a phone replaced thanks to a very good and dedicated customer service agent at the OKC support center.

Which side of the gen 3 magic box should be aimed at the donor macro for best signal? Front (screen side) or back?

I've been away in Austin for business for the last 3 weeks. Has the Portland network had issues? I can say that the Austin network has been bad the whole time I have been here. Very slow data. My hotel has a severely overloaded magic box to a mini macro that is so bad I had to turn off calling plus just to make phone calls.

Right but under the current band 41 configuration my understanding is that fast of an uplink speed would not be possible.

Do you think this is due to phone switching from 41 to 25 between the DL and UL portion of the test?

Update: After taking the magic box to a B41 macro while using the battery going thru initial setup and then returning home and plugging it in it has completed setup and now is working on B25 albeit but it is working. Gonna leave it plugged in without moving it and hopefully it will learn the network and connect to B41 as my phone does in the same spot. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Thanks. I took it close to a b41 macro using the battery and it got to the excellent signal screen so i pushed continue setup and it wants to be plugged in to continue so will have to try it at home again plugged in. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Got my magic box today. I have tried many locations but it will not complete setup. It usually detects the network but then says something to the effect of failed to complete setup at this location. I have placed it outside even where my phone a S7 reports band 41 signal at -99 RSRP and still no luck. Would it help if i take the magic box closer to the tower and try again so it can at least update firmware? Oh and this market does have the high/low spectrum split needed for b41 magic box operations. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Galaxy S7 with latest update 5BQL1 and still no calling plus..

Google states the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are both only LTE CAT 15 so only 3 carrier aggregation.

Still no calling plus for GS7 with new BQK1 update from this morning.

You are missing the point. Netflix will just pass along the added cost to the end user. This isn't about added profit, its about added cost to provide product to end user.

Because they are not yet paying the extra price for bandwidth that would cost them more without net neutrality.

Netflix isn't going to make a little less money they will just charge the consumer more for what they are already getting..
