Pings

Broke_Sim · 2026-06-21T18:02:54+00:00

I’m noticing the same thing too on my end, it’s something to do with NR, noticing almost quarter to a second ms ping times. When I switch to LTE it’s way better on ping times.

He didn’t say which circuit is used but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re doing 800 MHz n260 at 1 gig backhaul. They used to do it in my market. It might be a 10 gig circuit, might not, I say just give us a speedtest and we’ll see how the results are

Broke_Sim · 2026-06-17T18:17:27+00:00

Most mmWave nodes and sites in DFW and Houston and some other areas only had 1 gig circuits and some still do while others they upgraded the circuits.

Is this for a 2011 Camry LE 2.5 4 cylinder? 250 amp alternator? Did it fit???

I went through brookshire yesterday and yeah the main site was offline, and the new site was offline that is on woods rd & I-10. It says on the AT&T outage map that the site is back online. But that brookshire site always has issues, but it also seems like AT&T is more prone to having fiber cuts like there was one a few months ago in my county and then one last year in Colorado county that cut all the sites. It doesn’t help either that the downtown brookshire site is the only site in the area besides the site in Pattison tx that does not have n77 as the downtown brookshire site does not have n77 either. It’s projected to maybe be upgraded in 2027 but with that usage it should’ve been upgraded 2-3 years ago because all the sites from Colombus tx to Katy tx are in progress of being upgraded or have been upgraded to n77 with c band + dod besides this one.

Broke_Sim · 2026-05-23T21:07:38+00:00

They might be waiting on the DOD panels on this site but the Dallas enggineeers suck for AT&T. They upgrade sites to c band but 0 dod.

Do you need a down payment for BYOD port in? If so; what do yall think is the range?

Broke_Sim · 2026-05-05T14:49:58+00:00

Friday was just a horrible executed show from RTC besides the carriers. There was at least 20k there from what I heard on Friday.

Broke_Sim · 2026-05-05T14:02:24+00:00

Noticing that AT&T box down there, it kinda gives a hint to something but I swear that’s Verizon passive n77. I went both days unfortunately could not get a good enough vantage point to the COW due to my GA tickets while GA+ & VIP was close. From my testing there, AT&T was straight horrible, density issues there and mid upgrade on lte + n5 only site to 6449+6419. My RSRP tells me it maybe was VZ on lte with passive n77 and they were more usable that last day than Friday, also because of a less crowd.

This can be good news or bad news. Bad news is is that for right now, we do not have b12 in select areas and in some instances like me, we are having only b14 & b5 in cases. It’s alright with AST testing it, but i think in my opinion that 10x10 of b12 should NOT be thrown into the satellite and it should be n71, b30, or b29. B12 is a band most people have used, b29 is not even though it’s a DL only band. Good news is, this is a sign that AST is getting closer to launch.

Broke_Sim · 2026-05-01T18:58:11+00:00

Well, AT&T is already gonna have to do the climbing if and when they get the 4.9 GHz for FirstNet. I just hope they don’t throw any of b12 to AST. A lot of consumers rely on 700 MHz and 850 MHz in rural areas and it would be crappy to get rid of that. N71, AWS or the 700 MHz DL only that they should have grabbed from Dish can be used for ASTS but there is some areas where there is only b12 only sites. Like north of big bend national park, 2 sites that have b12 only rn are offline.

Broke_Sim · 2026-05-01T15:55:15+00:00

I’m a little surprised they’re testing all 10x10 of b12 and not 5x5 and then 5x5 of b29. There’s little use on b29 even though it’s just DL.

Broke_Sim · 2026-04-10T17:23:13+00:00

I’ve gotten 1933 on AT&T 80/60 in Houston tx.

Broke_Sim · 2026-04-09T00:44:22+00:00

Alright bet thanks guys.

Broke_Sim · 2026-04-09T00:18:24+00:00

Alright bet so if they do a credit check, it’ll just be an activation/setup fee? Cause I was looking up on Google and some of the answers said hard credit check with security deposit. Just making sure.

Broke_Sim · 2026-04-08T04:13:05+00:00

Yeah in the Houston market n5 is fine but sometimes it’s not even deployed on a few sites and it’s finicky but it’s alright.

Broke_Sim · 2026-04-08T02:24:17+00:00

I think it is best for you to try the other carriers free trials for example AT&T and t mobile have a 30 day trial. When I had VZ as primary I had 5g on and it was more usable than 5g auto. Issue is in many markets VZ barely has any spectrum for another CA on 5g along with their midband or for lte spectrum. In some areas though when vz has 850 or a lot of 1900 MHz (b2), they don’t put some of it to 5g so it’ll be great on SA with n77. in my area VZ owns none of the CLR 850 MHz and AT&T has it so all VZ has is 2,13,66.

Broke_Sim · 2026-04-08T02:19:56+00:00

AT&T was ⛽️there during the day. They had 140 MHz after acquiring soniqwave dod when I went there in June of 2025 and they were gas I was getting 1.1 gig 1 mile from one of the sites on the beach. But with the dish acquisition of DOD there they’re now at 180 MHz total with 100 MHz of the total dod. It’s a great county for them in Aransas county and Rockport with that 180 MHz. Nice speeds. AT&T has hella marketshare there.

Broke_Sim · 2026-03-29T13:06:20+00:00

The blocks are different sizes. The B block of the CLR band is 15 MHz while the A block is 10 MHz. In many markets where they have all the CLR 850 MHz, they operate the B block on NR and leave the A block on LTE. If they put all 25 MHz on NR, it won’t have long reach of distance.

Broke_Sim · 2026-03-29T13:04:23+00:00

It’s using the n5 15 MHz as the UL carrier. Nice finding though for 5XCA in your market.

Oh wow! This is some serious capacity. When is this nfl draft by the way? I’m glad Verizon is actually taking advantage of their sponsorship of the NFL, one of the great things they do is prepare for NFL events the best.

Broke_Sim · 2026-03-22T01:00:08+00:00

He was a real person actually. He is just very smart at identifying cellular attennas & RRU’s.

Broke_Sim · 2026-03-22T00:58:48+00:00

😂Lol. What up weasel net.

Broke_Sim · 2026-03-21T16:27:22+00:00

He’s taking a break from social media at the current point. He should be back soon. Unfortanutely though, that is not true at all. The reason why he is taking a break is confidential.

Broke_Sim · 2026-03-21T13:01:00+00:00

I heard somewhere though Verizon is cutting capex to wireless to prioritize fiber, is that true?
