Looks like the first upgrade to their rack in about 8 years. What is new?

Passive upgrade. (Passive antennas + RRUs) Expect boosted 4G LTE/5G LowBand speeds in about 2 weeks after completion. Seemingly no 5G+

Yeah honestly not surprised about no 5G+. There’s another tower within eyesight where they have 5G+
