N25 FDD UL-MIMO on T-Mobile using the Pixel 9 Pro. Higher modulation (256q) is significantly harder to reach with UL-MIMO but still provides a solid speed bump.

Have you ever taken a Speedtest directly in front of a cell tower? 👀

What’s the most surprising place you’ve ever felt the need to run a Speedtest?

@ChaseJensen Same thing happened to me last month

I was throttled at exactly 450 GB usage

6CA on T-Mobile NR SA is possible with the Pixel 9 Pro with some custom combos

@Crowsnestbb @SneedTech @curtisnetworks @DustyRaging @Flyordie209 @NicholasT1979 @Nick76501 Looks like the AEHC is still going up

Two brand spanking new rural T-Mobile sites went live this week! This covers a huge area and fills in a massive coverage Gap. T-Mobile is absolutely going crazy with new builds in this area. @SneedTech @curtisnetworks @DustyRaging @Flyordie209 @NicholasT1979 @Nick76501 @mobowhunting96 @Terrell352 @Techlife32 @RLV_TECH_USA @holman1124

Throughput is very similar between n41 100+80 and n41+25+71, suggesting backhaul isn't provisioned high enough. Rank 2 UL and UL CA both active.

Nokia Habrok AVHA is spotted on this recent T-Mobile addition in Monclova, OH! Radio supports 400W over the 320W of the previous AEHC.

@NicholasT1979 @Techlife32 @SneedTech @JohnSaw @jakepimental99 @Terrell352 Over Florida it is possible to hit over 100mbps on Viasat

Wow T-mobile WiFi with United thru Viastat is quite impressive. I’m at 38,000 feet altitude having zero issues. @Techlife32 @SneedTech @JohnSaw @jakepimental99 @Terrell352

ATT Ericsson swap lacking n77 and Tmobile lacking n41. This rural site sees so little usage that it is possible to achieve almost 100% scheduling on QCI 7 Tmobile, which is probably why midband 5G is not deployed by either carrier.

@GainzPro No, vz only owns 160mhz of licenses in Detroit

Will the Detroit market ever get 200 MHz of n77 live? Outside of the tri-county area, I’m seeing two channels of 100 MHz n77 and I’m jealous. #Verizon

17 Pro showing its power on T-Mobile

@jakepimental99 @TMobile @ericsson Do you have screenshots of service mode? Technically that high of an upload is possible on n41 ul mimo with very little load on the site but I'm not doubting you lol

@TMobile has lit up 5G Uplink Tx Switching in my @ericsson RAN market. I am now seeing upward of 260 Mbps upload. Great to see this feature finally come to life! 👍🏻

@RFWaves101 Is there free Wifi there? I spot an Aruba access point

Like finding this remote microwave sites. TMO site in the hills in a remote area in the Kern county mountains.

@Terrell352 Really surprising they would go back to fix their DAS, but I'm guessing all the antennas got swapped to support higher bandwiths on all the carriers so Tmobile only had to do some work on the radios.

T-Mobile upgraded the das systems at MCO Orlando Airport from 100mhz of n41 to 160mhz of n41 + 15mhz of n25!! What a difference!!

Here is the node without the shroud, as well as a test on VZ roaming, which has access to n78 broadcasted from these nodes

Telus DAS using BTI nodes on Canada Lind Tested with Rogers LTE roaming

Rogers n77 70mhz hitting 1.3+gbps

@CyprioniTech Where at?

@Crowsnestbb @CyprioniTech @CoverageMapLLC Fun fact this part of i80 with weak service is finally getting a new Tmo colocation

@CyprioniTech @CoverageMapLLC 🫡 thank you sir! I agree! The upgrades are exciting! Speaking of which... Verizon and Toledo.. something is still wrong there lol. Both i-75 and i-280 had terrible Verizon speeds and coverage.

Another road trip in the books! I've officially crossed 200k speed tests uploaded to @CoverageMapLLC ! I continue to test all carriers across many metrics. At the close of this trip, I'll just say this, T-Mobile still won the average fastest download speeds... By a lot... BUT... Both Verizon and AT&T have made the largest gain in n77 roll out increases that I've seen yet. The gap between T-Mobile and the rest is finally shrinking. @SneedTech @CoolTechYt @CyprioniTech @NicholasT1979 @holman1124 @RLV_TECH_USA @Techlife32 @DustyRaging @Terrell352 @FidhGolden @Flyordie209 @stetsondoggett @No1mann
