so, since fri, I've tested 7 sites. 1 site got 15+, 1 site got 2-5 and the others have all been BELOW 1m down.
honestly, I feel like I'm paying for something that doesn't work right. I'm told there is an lte network but, what good are the credentials when I'm getting speeds that aren't even acceptable for 3g? this was after 2 years of dealing with 3g speeds that weren't acceptable for 3g.
it's congested? why do the other carriers not have this problem? so sprint installed equipment that was immediately inadequate for the workload? I understand that sprint might be better than the other carriers depending on the site but, that has not been my experience so far. and the lte service didn't just go up yesterday. if indeed the problems are as bad as they seem to me, why haven't they been addressed by now? I couldn't even view pictures on fb in a reasonable amount of time. I don't expect it to be instantaneous but, more than 30 seconds is just unacceptable for the amount of money I'm paying for data service.
apparently, my expectations are WAY off because i don't see anyone in this market complaining about it in this thread. now I'm stuck with 2 years of snake oil.
