Band locking
New to the forum here. I have a question for the T-Mobile engineers, when will we be allowed to through a firmware update to lock the bands? My trashcan keeps switching back to primary B71(LTE) and n...
My situation seems to be the reverse of what is being discussed here. When my device switches to B66 primary n41 secondary, the data rate goes to pot. I can't get 5Mbs. When I am connected B66/n71 I then get download rates from 100 to 150 Mbs.
While that is not the speeds some are reporting, it is plenty fast enough for browser activity, downloads, and streaming YouTube TV at the same time without the video buffering.
I think my location relative to towers is that the “faster” n41 signal is from towers where the distance is at the edge if the higher frequency range while the n71 signal being a lower frequency is stronger at my distance.
While i have access to two different towers, the performance is the same regardless of which tower gets connected. Best rates are still with B66/n71.
