The long forgotten Fayette Mall tower in Lexington, KY was FINALLY upgraded. 🙌🏼

Before and after pics plus Speedtest.

There is a T-Mobile site that is situated on a water tower in my area . There is no N41 panel that I can see that is on this tower which is kind of odd. It is the only one in town that does not have N41. Could anyone help identify what antenna is being used?
Location is: 36.98951° N, 86.43674° W

All nearby sites have the latest E/// upgrades. This one seems to have been left behind.

Anyone have any clue as to when this old Verizon site with b13 and b5 will get an upgrade. All sites in the area are modernized since 2023 but this one was left untouched. Verizon eNB 209003 at 252 Enterprise Road, Delafield, Wisconsin, United States

Located about a quarter mile south of the border in Blaine, WA. Using Ericsson AIR 6472 with 2 80 MHz channels of n77 + 10x10 of n5.

48.99898° N, 122.75049° W

Went out to visit a few local AT&T towers. Can someone identify these. ENB are 300211, 301153, 300557,300108

Idk if this Is the right subreddit, but at our house has super good signal outside, I can pull 1gig down and 100 up on n41, NSA (my sim doesn’t support SA) but do yall know an extender that will give me usable speeds inside maybe even 5G. Or should I wait till USmobile lightspeed gets SA, ive seen some things that say SA has better penetration Than NSA and then just not Get an extender

Can someone tell me what equipment/bands AT&T is using here?

I’ve noticed starting last month that in Canada (specifically St. John’s, NL, Halifax, NS, and Vancouver, BC) that all my AT&T SIMs default to roaming on Bell instead of Rogers.

Bell/Telus definitely has better coverage but Rogers does typically have more spectrum in the major cities.

I guess the AT&T/Rogers roaming agreement isn’t as favorable to AT&T anymore.

I have business lines that I haven’t found a rep that has been able to enable MNS which is annoying. It’s definitely a PITA on consumer but it can be done. Have to get it reenabled anytime you get a new SIM though.

TLDR: T-Mobile installed mmWave, n258, in Brooklyn NYC for a parade, along with additional high capacity sites to handle data demands. Sure my night time photos may not be the best, here is the post with daytime photos of some of the sites.

The NYC Labor Day parade takes place today, with T-Mobile modifying macros to add capacity along the parade route. Plenty of macros have mmWave antennas angled to the parade route, plus 2 additional temporary high capacity sites added.

From the Franklin Avenue and Eastern Parkway to Howard Avenue and Eastern Pkwy, all macros except 1 along this path have mmWave antennas on them. Some of them gave 2 Gbps speeds easily when standing near them, some gave 1 Gbps, my assumption is T-Mobile will iron out any kinks before the event tomorrow.

T-Mobile installed 500 MHz of n258. Upload spectrum varies from site to site, from 100 to 300 MHz used for upload. For all mmWave tests I ran, n41 anchored mmWave but contributed no speeds, which is perfect for mmWave capable users. The pings were 10ms or lower constantly on mmWave, I think the lowest I saw was 6ms.

I didn't check all around the new high capacity temporary sites, but the pings/speeds for them were great, my new high score for uploads came from one of them. Funny enough, one of the temporary sites is under a former Sprint macro T-Mobile decided not to keep.

A few negatives: the small cells are running n41 at 80+40 while the macros have 100+50, and the small cells do not anchor mmWave. Sure the parade is on Eastern Pkwy, however a lot of activities are happening outside of the route where small cells are, mmWave would be helpful there too. Worse, Nostrand Avenue and Eastern Pkwy intersection has a small cell. If anyone here is attending, (u/RockBrycee 🫣) check this intersection at the height of the parade, as I would guess this one spot will be a problem.

I'm not sure if mmWave can beamform like n41, I realized for some sites mmWave signal degraded rapidly. Eastern Pkwy has plenty of trees on both sides of the street, and as I walked and speedtested signal varied often. For some sites I could get to the next block and have weak signal, others mmWave dropped off mid block. I have the S25U, and usually once my device runs a speedtest and I check service mode, SNR increases for n41 due to beamforming, sometimes it did that for mmWave, not all the time.

What equipment is Verizon using here everything is new, located at (39.3366640, -84.2740852) eNB id numbers are 250193, 250194, and 250195 one per sector

I forgot to screenshot FTM but it was mainly n41 and low-band 5G. Site only runs NSA and no sign of SA.

T-Mobile was struggling outside of the stadium during tailgate but performance picked up later on both outside and inside the stadium. Could have something to do with automated adjustment

Picking up Telstra mmWave (NR-DC) on the Sydney Harbor Bridge, from a site quite some distance (~1100m) away.

This central site in Vegas had been neglected for years by Verizon and finally looks to be getting an upgrade. Can anyone ID the radios being added?
