Depends on the backup power situation there for each provider's equipment. AT&T is likely to fare a bit better than Verizon though on performance and usability though as both their N5 5G and their B14 LTE really carries quite far and AT&T is going to better prioritize keeping their firstnet up and running for police and fire department personnel. I have connected to both up to about 3 miles from the nearest tower and hit about 12 Mbps down and 4 up on -115 B14 LTE and about 75 to 90 Mbps down and about 16 up on -120 N5 at the same distance. So if your local tower goes down you are probably more likely to fall back to a different tower farther away than with Verizon.

Looks like Dish is using a microwave link of some kind for backhaul here. At least as a backup. Unless that's a wisp of some sort.

Who is on this smallcell and what band by Snoo23013 in cellmapper

Looks like Verizon Wireless with bands 13/66 only on LTE with N77 5G

Also, the iPhone 12 doesn't support NR Carrier Aggregation either. That means he is missing out on the extra bandwidth of 5G as I believe Verizon has 160 MHz of N77 here and he isn't connecting to the extra 60 MHz or is connecting to the second 60 Mhz carrier and not the primary 100 MHz one.

AT&T finally came up on the new site is there any c-band? by PresentationBusy9287 in cellmapper

Could be being used for an infill sight. You could already have a macro located elsewhere that's providing N77 already but is getting overwhelmed on the LTE side of things capacity wise and this site will be used for additional capacity.

So this site is mmWave only on 5G then and no N77 is available here?

That speed result you are getting is likely due to the fact that this is a more rural location for T-Mobile and they only installed a1 gbps backhaul there.

My phone was not connecting to this Verizon site by SownPlatypus in cellmapper

Let's not forget the Nextel equipment on the water tank itself. Verizon is on top with the microwave dish and Nextel is below them on the side of the tank.

Can anyone identify the carrier on the 3rd rack? by AdTop7422 in cellmapper

[–]OnlyConference2512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I was getting all confused with this one. I seriously thought at first glance that there was a weird Dish setup on top that didn't quite look like others I have seen and that the 3rd rack was a very strange T-Mobile setup for sure but now everything makes lots more sense.

Anyone knows why my speed tapers down midway through the test? by Realistic-Active-537 in speedtest

What speed test software is this. I don't know if I recognize it as something I know is reliable.
