Mee too I cannot wait untill LTE starts rolling here in Riverside County, I get decent speeds on 3G but when LTE rolls out my Evo will finally be put to the test :lol:

 

When I went to school at ucr, service was rock solid. I might be working in clairmont soon, any news for nv in that area? don't see anything on sensorly or the sb/riverside topic.

My buddy got 27 down/10 up near the Chinese consulate the other day. i am amped for the LA Metro LTE launch!

I was in the Whittier area visiting my GF's family on 3 different weekends and averaged 20+D/8+U. Can't wait to see what it does when it's live and configured perfectly.

I would be happy with 20 down speeds but I just wish the general population does not abuse the use of unlimited...I see teens all the time steaming YouTube videos using like a free spotify service, not even looking at the video...

I was in Koreatown this weekend and got a solid 4G signal near Olympic/Western.

It was around 6mbps down/1mbps up. Much better than 3G service, but not the 20+/10+ I was expecting.

 

I wonder what the 4G speeds will be like in the IE once it finally rolls out here.

You likely had a pretty weak LTE signal. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2040-bars-lie-for-lte-signal-strength-how-to-determine-your-actual-lte-signal-strength/

Interesting ... http://shop2.sprint....an_details.html

This sounds like 6-8mbps download is going to be the typical speed ... 25mbps being peak speeds.

 

They only guarantee 6-8 because most people will not understand that they need really good signal to get the max speeds. Also, in an area where the cell sites are loaded up, speeds will start to slow into the 6-8 Mbps range.

So do you have LTE?

If so, what is your typical download/upload speed?

Can you send a screenshot?

At my parents in KC with LTE fully deployed in their local area, I get 10-15Mbps at my house at any given time. Around town, I get have gotten speeds up to 32Mbps, though it's typically between 10 and 20. I don't spend a lot of time doing speed tests, as I know that since I have LTE, it will be fast enough for anything I need to do.

That's awesome!

So it sounds like it is reasonable to expect 10-20mbps download speeds when LTE is finally deployed in the Inland Empire!

 

Can't wait!

 

In places with a very good signal, yes.

What I meant to say was that I just started picking up this eHRPD signal. Is this a good sign for LTE in my area?

 

eHRPD has been available since last fall for the whole market as I had it driving around the market back in October/November. I've noticed the Galaxy Nexus doesn't like to maintain eHRPD like other phones do. the Riverside/San Bernardino market has been in active deployment for a while now. LTE has not been enabled just yet, but it should start coming live soon for the Inland Empire.

Thank you for your quick replies and yes, my Nexus is witching from EVDO A to eHRPD quite often. So the eHRPD means the tower is upgraded?

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. 93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
