For the first time ever, I noticed my S7 Edge was using band 2. I ran a speed test and it tests out at about 60Mbps down and about 10 up.

I usually always connect to band 4 no matter what phone I use. Just thought it was interesting.

Yep. I believe in some areas they use band 2 to help alleviate the 4 band. My work does this. Inside I'm on band 4 and outside I'm on band 2.

Do you know how wide the LTE channel is? Also I've been seeing some work going on at some T-Mobile sites I drive by daily. Maybe they are enabling band 2 in the Jacksonville market.

Most likely -- I am seeing it around work more than anything. I have noticed some worse speeds around work than band 2 started popping up.

Same. I was having some slow speeds at night and now band 2 seems to have solved that. All of my activated phones are using band 2 now.
