    Wow, nice find. This isn't marked anywhere, not even as a future site... And it must be a full-build if it's B26. Interesting!! It looks like you were pretty close, were there any towers nearby?

    If anyone installs the 11.4 public beta, let us know if the carrier updates to a version later than 32.0.

    I hope your birthday is within 1% as good as last year's. Happy birthday!

    A ground mount B25-only site near Endicott is spitting out 10x10 now as well. Sweet! Looks like it’s everywhere.

    3Mhz won't affect coverage at all, right? Just max speeds?

    Crossposting from Reddit.... Cliff's notes: Gf's brother called to exchange his Airave 3 LTE last night and was informed that Sprint discontinued it on March 5th 2018. They are encouraging customers to use Wi-Fi calling instead. Is this true? EDIT: It's true! No more Airave 3. This leaves a notable gap before VoLTE is enabled, but shouldn't be much of an issue if you have a modern device this Fall. (Wi-Fi calling/VoLTE should eliminate the need for CDMA)

    I think the whole Binghamton market now has 10x10 B25 enabled on full builds. Pulled down a nice 40+Mbps speedtest in Endwell, NY last night on a B25/26 only site. This is new as of the last week or two. Once the GMOs are upgraded to full-builds (should be this year if Sprint sticks to their timeline) then we will have B26 on every site. Most of NY is covered in GMO sites along the highways. They did an amazing job converting these all to B25 LTE in the last six months though, it was a very quick transition once they started. We can finally say that most of NYS is LTE now.

    iPhone is stating 8290 for the EARFCN when outdoors on B25, confirmed with another 40+Mbps speedtest.

    I hadn't entertained the idea that they might have flipped on 10x10. That's what it must be, if the MB is picking it up! Historically my market has had a ~30Mbps cap on B25, so I'm assuming it used to be 5x5.
  10. burnout8488
    B25 2xCA 10x10 works through my MB now that it's been activated in my market. Pulling down 45Mbps.
  11. burnout8488
    Owego, NY got B25 2xCA turned on, this happened within the last week it seems. Pulling down 40-45Mbps now! My Magic Box gets me 30-35 indoors as well now at work, where it used to cap out around 20Mbps. I was told B41 was scheduled within 6mo in January, but this is a nice stopgap solution. :-) Edit: Seems like this might be B25 10x10 now, not CA
  12. burnout8488
    Have other Sprint users ever been on your MB and had calls work successfully? Can you test with a different handset on your account?
  13. burnout8488
    The Magic Box only broadcasts LTE. I'm not sure how it could have affected calling on your Note 5. (Note 5 doesn't support LTE Calling Plus, as far as I can tell) Perhaps eCSFB isn't working through the MB to tell your phone to switch to 1x from LTE to receive the call?
  14. burnout8488
    It seems like it would be so easy to make coverage amazing down there, too. It's totally flat. Band 26 should go for miles! It's confusing why this market has been neglected when there really aren't that many sites to hit at all.
  15. burnout8488
    I was just down in Felton for the weekend. Lots of 3G/1x around here, even close to Route 13. Sprint is still pretty awful in lower Delaware unfortunately. B26 either doesn't exist, or it doesn't penetrate buildings. LTE, no matter the signal strength, was very very slow. (Even for Facebook and iMessage) I submitted 2-3 reports in the Sprint Zone app. Happy to be back in my home market again today . Hopefully in late 2018 lower Delaware can finally compete with T-Mobile which has ubiquitous LTE there.
  16. burnout8488
    It's possible that when VoLTE prioritization goes into effect, what you're seeing will go away. -105 to -115 should be completely usable, especially on a low-bandwidth voice call. It's possible that the sites are overloaded with other traffic and low signal just amplifies the problem.
  17. burnout8488
    This would ensure that when there's call drops, the user would at least know why. Opt-in would be great, I'd love to start testing it in my market. Every site here is LTE with no drops, I think the experience would be positive.
  18. burnout8488
    Yes, but how was it doctored? What was doctored?
  19. burnout8488
    Understood - but I doubt this is the case with the question at hand. Barely any Sprint phones support this and it's currently opt-in for it to work.
  20. burnout8488
    If he has an Airave2, he should call and get it swapped out for an Airave 3 LTE. The Airave 3 broadcasts 1x, 3G, and LTE, whereas the Magic Box only broadcasts LTE. Right now, calls don't go over LTE, so a Magic box won't assist with calling. Airave 3 doesn't do HD voice either. When Voice over LTE is implemented in the future, calls will be HD and go over the LTE that the Airave broadcasts.

    Drove up to Ithaca today and mapped RT96 on Sensorly. Full LTE the whole way! Sitting in Ithaca commons right now, every business has full LTE indoors. I’m curious if they have a small-cell here - the service is excellent. EDIT: Went to a few more buildings, my phone is locked onto an extremely strong Band 25 signal even within brick hallways. I didn't see Band 26 once. Really, really good signal here.
  22. burnout8488
    Yup. Even if it technically IS Calling Plus on the backend, on the iPhone it will likely just use the same verbiage as it does on other VoLTE iPhones. "Use LTE for Voice & Data"
  23. burnout8488
    Installing now, I might've waited if I saw this first! Hopefully a few more betas and perhaps it will "just work," rather than a setting appearing. New Carrier Sprint 31.5.1
  24. burnout8488
    I'll be mapping Binghamton to Ithaca, NY next Friday. Fully deployed but not much on Sensorly!
  25. burnout8488
    Felton site is showing B25/B26 LTE live in GLANCE, per a store employee on Reddit. Just hasn't caught up yet on the coverage map. :-)
