AT&T 4G HSPA+/LTE Speedtests!, Round 2

[Joeybutts]

Have you noticed generally weak N5 propagation? I could pick up B5 LTE in my office no problem. I can’t even pick up n5 outside of my office on my iPhone 12 Pro. So not sure if it’s weaker coverage on n5 or if the new iPhone 12’s aggressively switch to LTE if it senses 5G degrading.

You have to check the PCI of n5 and see what site it is coming from. R15 now allows you to connect to multiple sites at once. I see this all the time in NYC .

Sadly, I live in a town so small that it’s being served by one AT&T macro site lol.

Around 50 Mbps ideal conditions, expect more like 30-40 Mbps.




You need a midband PCC in order to use n5, so if your office can’t pick up 2/4/30/66, you aren’t going to see n5 really.

Thanks. Didn’t know this.

Me either. Good information. In Delaware because tower spacing is typically farther out I see 12 14 and 5 as PCC a lot. Well I did with b5 until it became n5 on my 11.

I’m curious how the 12 pro does at my desk because 5 worked the best and I haven’t had access to that in awhile.

I was previously getting right around 200 here with “only” 5Ge. I’m guessing n5 is aggregating with 2, 30 and 66 at a minimum.

IMO the Qualcomm is delivering better speeds and performance than the intel in my testing so far. Especially at cell edge .

Same. I don’t know if I’d say cell edge for me because I haven’t been in the boonies yet. But my beach house is in a null sector and I’m getting more speed. It does not seem to know when to use n5, 12 or 14 as pcc though. Too much flipping.

Not having b2 as pcc much overall means taking some speed hits.

You won't have n5 as pcc until SA-NR is launched. Until then, mid band+n5.

LTE vs 5G at work.

Has anyone had problems with getting b30 to aggregate?
First screen is b30 by itself. Then cycled airplane mode and tested b2 which aggregated. B30 then connected and finally aggregated. I've noticed this multiple times over the last few days. Caught it by accident. I think it might be a device issue.

Now I've noticed band 2 not aggregating unless I cycle airplane mode. Has this happened to anyone? Before vs after...

Highest upload I've seen in the NYC market. B66 now 15+15 on the small cells.

Has it been confirmed this extra 5x5 block is permanent for at&t in our market ? It sure helps

Looking at my screen shot, I just realized this was 6x-CA!!! 5x-CA LTE+N5!

The other leased blocks have been given back. I would think this is long term, seeing how they are widening to 30 mhz region wide.
