  1. In general upload CA would help with capacity and speed. Depends on device and location to see the impact I suppose; when it comes to actual scores on Root I believe it will, as it rolls out. Example of vectors would be say, If it is a qualifying device in a market has UL/CA enabled on the network. What carriers are available in a newer configuration, and throw in 64QAM if you are in a peak spot, or will a radio drop to one carrier in less than ideal RSRP? These factors are something to keep in mind. Reference here, as we have seen 2xCA in many band 41 mature markets, we have 2 or 3 sites in my market now and I just saw a third carrier. See band 25 second carriers coming online in many markets, and many with out that have 40Mhz of PCS spectrum running 5Mhzfd. To throw in one more wrench, L1900CA is here now, and 10MHzfd is also giving a nice boost. I am betting yes. It will take some time to workimufy it into the network on the backendetry. Look for it in markets that are well deployed in LTE+ and 10x10
  2. It is rough where I work and live too. We got our first band 41 site online a couple months ago. I sure liked what I saw up there though. Switch and see who works for you if they can't get what you need. I hope reaching out to them gets you results.
  3. I spent four days last week traversing, being metal, in Michigan. When viewing the phone(I was navigator) I saw band 26 ~thrice past Lansing on the way to Grand Rapids, passing fields; where you would expect it. I spent time in Garden City, a neighborhood in Highland on the lake, a park in Fenton and then Flint; concert halls and a few bars in downtown GR, as well as an interesting Motel 6 nowhere near downtown. We headed to Cass & Bagley to see old friends downtown then Redford. In and Out of DTW. All the highways in between and a few old back roads in Howell for kicks. I spent the most time on band 41 anywhere yet. I recorded no tests on band 41 below 25Mb/s down. I had no band 25 10x10 uploads below 10. Well over 1k miles. I have 50 + speed tests and a couple of logs. Michigan is in my mobilitie news search once a week. I would get on that Sprint App good user, sounds like they missed a spot. https://imgur.com/a/BwrqS
  4. We received a call, got a message offering other options at no monthly cost to us, but were told no for the home office. We are band 25/26 area. Band 41 is on 3 sites in market now, so waiting to see if our location by the (Myrtle)beach is approved. I also applied for our locations in Surfside Beach, North Myrtle and Carolina Forest today.
  5. That is excellent, is the coverage very tight by you? The small cells seem to be making it to market very quickly in your area.
  6. We have enough spectrum in SC for 2 carriers. Why they will not update the software side, on equipment built in 2012 and installed in 2014 I have no idea. .
  7. AT&T also offers a connected car UDP. $20/mo. I signed up for two and built my own 'fixed wireless' with an LTE modem and some antennae; works great at home and I have another one for the car when traveling.
  8. Mr Tim nailed it. It will be great in rural areas for years to come. I imagine the idea is to clear 5/10 FDD over the next year or two in the areas of expansion, like many smart folks here have said. Maybe in a year or so a 4x2 solution will be baseline for band 9000 here with some split sector and QAM wizardry. That will help keep data hungry rural users subsequently covered and able to stay connected. An example would be rural band 2/12 deployments aggregated to give a nice boost, granted rangetry and fadeonomics are forgiving, like user:IamMrFamous07 suggested. That is upwards of 50MHz of LTE in areas that have maybe 20 now; subject to their quick and needed refarming schedule. Contributing to the longevity of this band is still penetration aspects, a couple other big companies like death star and comcast showed up, the holding company Dish bought some as well. Glass Half full aspect; Also the possibility that a little further down the road into 2020/21 as a new waveform is beginning growth, this spectrum is fully cleared with incumbents repacked* The full 31 MHz would give you quite a capacity boost and would be affordable for suburban Five Gee build outs. Expect penetration aspect marketing in urban environments that could be leased or used to platform smart city applications, reliable connected cars, transit and public safety. Easily aggregated with LAA deployments possibly. I wouldn't even chip porcelain with bricks if they find a way to use a bit of white space in there. Maybe it will be the 'anchor' LTE network needed for the next airlink to operate with, as has been described in early descriptions of Five Gee core and radio control signals? This all depends on the current mobile environment where Dish just bought more for their 70MHz/pop 1Bsq/ft warehouse. Comcast is entering, and every one has a price if you read the news. So a buildout could halt if negotiations are entered. Like everyone else I hope it keeps up competitive pressures into the future most of all.
  9. Facts, the folks sure say it is slow going there; heavier in shentel markets by quite a lead. It has been dead here obviously but they are still producing, as any metro thread will echo your point. The COW was on for just over a week so that I interpreted as the best irl shitpost Sprint has given me to date. Most likely testing as it will be a small cell soon.
  10. I believe this applies only to the TeeVee stations that were auctioning spectrum. I think they want to get to manufacturing newer hardware for their transition away from current channel placement.
  11. In Myrtle we have about ~47 sites online w bands 25/26 live and about ~12 3g GMO, and one band 41 install(Jan. 1) awaiting some attention. 800MHz work was recently concluded last fall with the site at the jetport MYR having moved. This covers about 100 klicks of coast from the NC line to just south of Georgetown and west along the 501 corridor to Florence with about 5 stragglers outside of that. Our first band 25 site went online a bit over two years ago. We are wrapping up Network Vision here hopefully soon. Sources: Premiere map, logs, Sensorly, extra 5k miles on my lease. Cool what model did you get? I generally roll band 25 only here, 26 is a tar swamp. I built an antenna array at home that nets me a better signal, so my tests are not as bad, but that tells you the length folks go to get a signal. Tmo does not seem to have carrier aggregation live here yet but they run in the high teens generally on throughput. We have 20MHz FD of band 4 and 20MHz of band 5 here. I am unable to locate and Band 2 LTE with a few devices so I imagine that will take a bit to show up. ATT is steadier now that they added more macros and bands available for use, VZW has had Horry county covered in LTE since 2013, they added band 4 here a year or two back and are slowing down a bit, but they have been adding small cells recently and added many macros last year.
  12. 50$ a month; seems logging all your cell info and geostatistics wasn't enough? Pay some one 50 bucks to teach you Linux and get these results at that point.
  13. Simple, use a command to turn off the modem's AT for certain frequencies. If it is configured not to accept certain connections it simply will connect to what it is allowed to.
  14. No sight of Band 41 being turned on yet at the installed site. Band 25 was down again today, 3ree Gee only again. "Testing" maybe? No signs of small cell activity or new installs on my route covering 5th S gamma cell to hwys 17>544>501>701. Covered GMO's a couple weekends back w no updates.
  15. I get 25/15 on an 850 GMO through the woods, to my cat6 router. No carrier aggregation network side here yet, but it sure is nice as the band 4 I receive sits at 10MHz FDD as well so this provides much better signal strength. All the talk of low band being worthless baffles me. Folks who say that do not have one intermittent band 25 slice to work with, I am guessing.
  16. When TMO acquired SUNcom they picked up one 850CLR license.
  17. They are hiring all over, there is a few ads down here as well along the southern coast. I can't find one here for any kind of engineering though, are you seeing activity in your neck of the woods?
  18. Inbox I am unaware of varying any level's of service through Calyx. You should be able to replace it with any Sprint branded mobile broadband, 6100d is such a device so you should have no issues. I would say difficulty is subjective. Phone skills versus setting up an account. I set up my account and then called in, I stumbled across the device section afterwords and used it to test compatibility of some modems I had. It seems pretty painless either way, all you have to lose is not trying. Hope this helps.
  19. I explained this process to @calyx, as they were unaware CS was an option. After emailing them, email trolling mobile citizen and then tweeting at Sprintcare I just called in. I just did not enjoy the idea of a battery powered standby plugged in all day per Note 7. Picked one up on Ebay, called in and got it swapped. Apparently no one ever tried this before. I just followed the instructions in the crappy aircard GUI to call x number for assistance. Nick and the Calyx crew were pretty excited about this news. Who knew? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
