Since the band 28 started showing up... Anyone getting the lte-a?
I'm still only on band 2 and 4.

Not as yet. The tower by me hasn't been upgraded as yet but the tower in the heart of Couva has but I'm too far away so while I'm picking up B28 from the tower in the town I cant do CA as yet since my phone is preferring the signal of b2 and b4 from the tower closer to my home. Due to the pandemic I haven't been able to leave my home to go and test it as yet but I'm hoping that they turn on B28 on my home site soon. According to this article digicel has already deployed 200 sites with B28 and just has to turn it on. If you have a newer flagship phone u should be able to get LTE-A with b2 and b4 tho.

Btw does anyone with a flagship phone been able to achieve 3CA with bands 2, 4 and 28 as yet?

bmobile could deploy a half-assed LTE-A Carrier Aggregation without B28... they have B5 (850MHz) spectrum which im sure they're using for GSM and UMTS...they could re-farm 5MHz of B5 for LTE (easiest thing is to get rid of UMTS) and do B2+B5 CA, and leave B5 GSM on the '(prime) part of the B5 spectrum block. The reverse combo (B5+B2) isnt in 3gpp spec though.

There are NO phones out there that support more than 2 MIMO layers on low bands like 600MHz, 700MHz, 850MHz and 900MHz though, so bmobile wouldnt be able to match Digicel max theoretical speeds doing B2+B28//B28/B2 CA. They would provide better coverage though.


Yes bmobile can do that but you have to remember that they only have 5MHz of B5 and on UMTS the only channel bandwidth allowed per channel is 5MHz. Also you have to remember that bmobile only uses LTE for data, VoLTE hasn't been deployed as yet which means that bmobile relies on b2/b5 UMTS for calls. B5 is a lower frequency so it can penetrate walls better so b5 may be the only way that a lot of people get signal indoors. So if they try to deploy b5 LTE they would have to find a way to deploy VoLTE on b2 LTE first so that customers dont lose service and if you've used b2 on bmobile you would know that b2 doesnt go far and cuts out easily on UMTS And LTE (unlike digicel) so if they do VoLTE on b2 people may run into problems. If they try to deploy b5 on LTE they will have to decommission b5 UMTS which would temporarily leave customers who aren't so close to the tower to temporarily lose calls (which is very important to have) until they deploy VoLTE on b5. While bmobile has GSM active in the guard bands of b5, as you would know that the gsm network gets crowded very easily and if u try to make a call on b5 GSM the call will fail and your phone will say that the network is busy as I have experienced in the past. Ik I explained that very poorly but basically operators tend to only deploy VoLTE on lower frequencies in order for voice calls to be reliable which is why neither operator has deployed it as yet as they dont have enough spectrum on b5 and dont have access to B28 as yet.

It depends on the modem on the phone. Only more recent modems can aggregate between b2 and b4. Ik the galaxy s10 can do ca between b2 and b4 on digicel. Also some manufacturers disable it within the modem for some stupid reason. I have a Galaxy A50 and Samsung has not included CA between b2 and b4 with the modem on my phone. You should hopefully be able to do CA between b2 and B28 as well as b4 and B28. The iPhone X may not be able to do CA with b28 if it's the US model as the US model doesnt include B28.

Was just playing around with my data settings on digicel.

Lte vs 3g vs 2g
87 vs 25 vs. 19

I haven't been on digi 3 g for a whole but I think 25 is respectable down sppeds.


Can some others do the same an post up results.


Rant: I remember when TSTT now come out with edge and u coulda use a proxy for free internet . It was so slow I remeber trying to down load a pic an it took a few minutes well.... Close to 10.

Have you been able to achieve 3CA (B2+B4+B28)?

Digicel does not do 3CA at the moment. It was being tested but degraded the performance of the network.

Ohh so thats why I'm unable to achieve B2+B28 and B4+B28 anymore. I don't see how aggregating these bands were degrading performance because it was helping to boost speeds on my Galaxy A50 since it doesn't support CA between B2+B4. Do you know if they have any plans to re-enable it back in the future because I've seen that bmobile has activated CA between b2+b28.

As far as I know 2CA should be re-enabled. When 3CA was in testing, the sites were performing poorly reducing user experience

I've been trying to get it to work for months but it's not aggregating. When they first enabled b28 in October it was aggregating with b2+b28 and b4+b28 but then 3 weeks after it stopped. Then a couple of months later (I believe it was in March) I noticed that digicel changed the Sector IDs on b28 from 0, 1, 2 to 11, 12, 13 and when they did this CA between b2+b28 and b4+b28 worked for about another 3 weeks but then it stopped aggregating in April. I've tried different sims and different phones but I can't get CA on b2+b28 or b4+b28 to aggregate again.

In March is when they were trying 3CA but in April Carrier aggregation was deactivated all together, but as far as I am aware 2CA would be reactivated

It's still not working for me. I've tried contacting support but they have no idea what I'm talking about. I remember a couple of weeks ago I was able to get it to work on the site by C3 which they recently upgraded but every other site that I've tried it would just refuse to aggregate. If you don't mind me asking do you work at Digicel?

Ik its covid time and thing but if you're able to could you check in to the issue that I'm having with CA between b2+ b28 and b4+b28 cause it was really helping to boost speeds when the two carriers were Aggregating especially during the day. I tried asking support but they had no idea wth I was talking about

Mind blown
Damn Digicel is killing it. Imagine if they had 4x4 MIMO how much faster it would be.

So this morning while my router was rebooting... my phone went on data ... band 4 then 2 then 28 ... it showed 3cc. As compared to 2cc for about 30 seconds... then back to 2cc band 4 and 2.

See the screen shot.

Edit: this happens when it goes from lte+ to regular lte then back ... all 3 show up only for a few seconds then goes back to 2.

Yeah Netmonster looks at all the bands first and assumes that all three are aggregating but after a few seconds the phone will report to the app the actual bands that are being aggregated so in this case just 2 and 4. The best thing to check to see if all 3 are actually aggregating is to check service mode by dialling *#0011#

Yeps assumed something like that.

The one thing is with the lte+ ur phone burns thru data like ah beast... so those with smaller data caps need to watch out for that!!!

Good day, anyone having the issue where when you make or receive a call your data drops?

Yeah Digicel doesn't have VoLTE deployed on the network so when you make a call the phone will fall back to 3G which will make your data speed slower while you're on a call.

Mine isn't even going to 3g. It completely loses data.
