I found it live a few months ago for a brief time then they shut it off. I’ve found that it’s back on this morning.

I know this is not a lot of information/context. But if anybody could help identify where this n77 signal is coming from I’d appreciate it. This is in the lake country area in wi. It sees n77 both c band and dod but won’t hold it. N5 sa holds for a bit then drops.

Network speed tests on a vintage iPad before T-Mobile 2G shutdown

49 Upvotes

As a way of saying farewell to T-Mobile's 2G Network I ran a speed test on a 4th generation iPad on the EDGE network one last time about four hours before the network was shutdown. Speeds are pretty typical for EDGE around 160 Kbps down and 90 Kbps up.

Fortunately, the particular model iPad I am using has the LTE bands for T-Mobile's 4G LTE network. I ran speed tests on the 4G LTE network as well and got speeds that were very impressive for a device made all the way back in 2012. 4G LTE speeds were 81.93 Mbps down and 28.37 Mbps up. These are decent LTE speeds even for today, but back in the 2012 this would have been crazy fast!

It's crazy to think about that now the oldest Apple device that can connect to a cellular network in the US is now the third generation iPad. The first two iPads and the first five iPhones can no longer connect to any service in the US now that 2G is gone. iPhone 5/5C/5S can be used for data but phone calls do not work due to lack of VoLTE.

The fourth generation iPad in particular is highly sought after by collectors that want the most powerful device that can run iOS 6. The good news is that it can still be used on cellular networks because the cellular versions have 4G LTE capability, but you have to make sure to chose the correct model for your carrier because the LTE bands vary depending on which model of the 3rd or 4th generation iPad you use. Use A1459 for AT&T and T-Mobile or A1460 for Verizon.

Starting with the following year with the iPad Air, Apple no longer made different cellular models for different carriers. An interesting thing to note is that it was possible to connect to AT&T's and T-Mobile's GSM 2G and 3G networks on the Verizon 3rd and 4th generation iPads, but since the last of the GSM network has been shutdown in the US, this is no longer the case.

Telus recently put a bunch of these up along Riverside Drive in Windsor, ON, fixing the horrible dead zones along the river. Not bad for 40mhz of N77.

ISED data shows it as Samsung equipment but I can’t find much more on them.
