I'm VERY happy with my 1 bar, amzing ping, anazing speeds at peak hours.... Anyone here complaining they only get 4-5 megs, hasn't had a taste yet of band41.

Inside I'm on b26 outside b41

[ppeter78]

My ping time is 78 to 180. It's very high as well and my signal levels are low unless im 1 block from the tower at the gym.

If you live so far away from a Sprint tower and dislike the service, why don't u switch carriers???

you should change your server in speed test, also, what are your speeds on Band 41?

[ppeter78]

I can see the tower from my window lol soo something is up... lol I'm not far from traditional tower at all lol .2 to .3 of a mile from it and I'm really hoping they will fix it honestly

That's not a Sprint tower then...

I did try changing my servers to a few of them. Like I said the day I went from a note 3 to a note 4 there was a huge difference in my speed. I was consistently getting 20 + megabytes per second. Now I'll be lucky if I get 5 - 10 megabits on B 41 but normally its now under 1 megabit. Sadly I don't leave this 10 block radius very often so I do believe it's a tower related problem. :-/ I have been a loyal Sprint customer for 11 years I'm just hoping they fix this and soon

this is typical as band 41 does not have good building penetration attests compared to band 25 and 26

try reporting it on sprint zone app or Twitter sprint care line.

how you confirmed that's your tower? Because I have a clear tower half a mile away about and I get service in every crevice of my house, neighborhood clubhouse, and all around this area from that single tower.

Bud. You are complaining to the wrong bunch. We know it sucks. The difference is that your phone is now connecting to b41, and it wasn't before. To be honest, I'm not sure how you would've gotten speeds that good on b25 in miami.

 

I still recommend reporting it. Or email jerry.williams@sprint.com. They always seem to get back to me quickly.

It's probably not a Sprint tower. Have you checked out our Sprint tower equipment spotting guides? You would want to look at the Ericsson NV spotting guide, and Nokia 8T8R spotting guide. 

 

Also, we have maps of the entire Sprint network tower locations in our sponsor section. We greatly appreciate our sponsors because S4GRU is a non-profit site, and is run entirely off the donations from our members. Without them S4GRU would not exist.

I highly doubt the change in speed was from changing devices. I would expect should you return to the Note 3, you would see worse service than you are seeing now with the Note 4. The change is most likely explained by an increase in load on the network. 

 

Do you know if you are connecting to Clearwire B41 or Sprint B41? SCP will tell you, and that will help in diagnosing the problem. Also, B41 may not be coming from the site closest to you. Your device will try to hang onto any B41 signal it can, even if a B25 or B26 signal might be better suited for your current situation.

1. Sprint confirmed the address if the tower.

2. I have reported it to sprint and on the app.

3 I talked to sprint techs when they were working on the tower

4. Sprint confirmed that's the tower in use 99% of the time.

5. Clearwater b41 and yes what is the difference please??

Hope that helps!

. with your note 3 you didn't connect to the clear tower, you connected to a sprint tower with band 25/26 (most likely lacking band 41) speeds on this tower are high because the clear tower with band 41 was taking a significant portion of the load in the area. The clear wire towers normally have limited capacity and range compared to a sprint band 41 tower. So now that you have a note 4 you connect to a congested clear tower, since you phone will hold on to band 41 at all costs you won't be kicked to the sprint tower, despite its better performance. You may be able to disable band 41 however I'm not familiar enough with the note for to know how, if you even can. Someday your clear tower may be upgraded to a full build, or they may add band 41 to the sprint tower and shut down the clear tower, they do this on a case by case basis. Hope this helps

Edit looks like you can disable band 41

I have some good news after Sprint reprovisioned my phone and added a different MSID code my internet started working again I actually got 48 megs down connected to Clearwater B41 when connected to sprint b 25 I'm getting 12 megs down so they fixed something maybe my phone was never provisioned properly in the first place although it has been reprovisioned in the past a few times. So yaaa I have data let's see if this helps other issues

[ppeter78]

The only major difference the only major difference with advanced support worked on my phone this time

Is that an autocorrect? Clearwater?

[ppeter78]

No that was not an auto correct. I'm still connected to Clearwater B41 or sprint b25,b26 but when he changed the msid # my speed came back. Idk if it fixed my texts or calls yet. Also hes sending me a new note 4 due to my battery drain issues yaa...

I think you mean to write Clearwire* not Clearwater ????????

Is that a place or something?

 

We need to know if you are connected to ClearWIRE or Sprint B41.

 

There is a difference.

[ppeter78]

Lol yes my bad I didn't even notice that lol

Clearwire B41 is often fed by Microwave backhaul, which means pings are typically higher and often not provisioned with enough bandwidth to properly service B41. That's in general, some sites do have fiber.
