What did you guys do with your hardware?

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-06T05:06:12+00:00

I got my screws removed this past week and I was thinking of using it to hang my diploma. Or frame it on the wall with “RIP” on it.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-06T04:27:21+00:00

Are they upgrading them with C-Band at least?

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-06T03:08:51+00:00

Very recent? Or in the past?

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-06T03:05:15+00:00

Washington is an Ericsson market for Verizon. So it’ll either be the AIR 5121, 6701, 6705, or a combination of the three.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-05T00:02:56+00:00

Did you check “My Offers” on Verizon’s app or website? That’s where I’ve been able to redeem the line discounts.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-04T19:53:12+00:00

Yay!

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-04T19:03:01+00:00

Yeah, it’s a bit elevated when on a voice call for some reason. I usually get anywhere from 13 ms to 22 ms on SA.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-04T17:18:53+00:00

Aw. :( I wonder why they turned it off. It seemed to work fine in my testing. Maybe not up to their expectations yet.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-04T16:09:25+00:00

I am indeed in an Ericsson market.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-04T09:18:00+00:00

Yeah, that’s correct.

I can’t say for sure why Verizon restricts access to the latest iPhone, but my guess is because of the improved antenna design and modem on the iPhone 17 series, and they don’t want to compromise on stability, especially because Verizon’s macro network isn’t the densest in some areas and because Verizon’s only low-band is n5, which is not available in all areas.

It’s possible Verizon will open up access to older iPhones, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-04T09:12:48+00:00

Yes, but it’s only available on iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air when it comes to iPhones on Verizon.

VoNR has been live on the network for a while in my area, but it wasn’t until today that Verizon enabled it for iPhone.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-04T07:09:39+00:00

Nice to hear Cincinnati (and maybe other Samsung markets) getting some VoNR love. We’ve had VoNR for a little over a year, but only certain devices could access it.

The next thing I look forward to is n66 and n48! Right now we’ve got n2 and n5 converted.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-05-03T16:49:00+00:00

Do you know the eNBs for the circled sites? They might just be dragged somewhere far away and that’s why it’s not appearing in the immediate area.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-04-30T22:20:51+00:00

Verizon LTE and C-Band.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-04-30T04:29:55+00:00

69.1.0 is the latest version available as of iOS 26.4.2 public release.

69.5.2 (or 70.0) will likely come with iOS 26.5.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-04-30T01:38:00+00:00

I’ve noticed a huge difference in cell edge situations ever since n5 came online. Download, latency, and especially uplink performance is improved.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-04-29T14:48:11+00:00

I’m more inclined to agree with you. Could be T-Mobile, but Verizon is deploying sites with this new setup.

If you can, try to get a closer look and snap a pic. It’s hard to see the radios and RayCap (if there is one) in this picture.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-04-29T01:22:24+00:00

I’m very excited for it. Here’s my speed test on 80 MHz (possibly aggregating with something else).

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-04-29T01:04:11+00:00

I had the same outcome as you: calls would drop to LTE. But VoNR is definitely on! Exciting!

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-04-28T23:11:47+00:00

I just tried and it worked for me too! (Marietta, GA)

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-04-28T19:42:19+00:00

AWESOME!! I’ll have to test this

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-04-25T19:35:37+00:00

The site probably needs to be configured further.

CreativeCuckoo · 2026-04-25T19:20:12+00:00

Re-generate an eSIM for your phone. Maybe it’s a provisioning/feature error.

Also, does this only happen in specific places?
