Hi, first post on the forums. Let me start off by saying thanks for all the helpfull information although I admit some of it is right over my head I'm active duty military here in Norfolk area and I've noticed LTE expanding to more area's nearby however some of them the LTE capability is very weak (speedtest.net app showing under 1meg down and around 2meg up). I sometimes get better speeds on 3G however the latency is worse. When I'm stuck on the ship for duty days I like to tether my phone and do a little gaming after work. The 4G seems unrealiable and has limited throughput, however is quicker (not faster) than 3G. LTE seems very finicky in this area. The building that I'm in right now I can only get 3 bars of 3G (eHRPD: -86dBm on SID: 4982) however if I spep about 15 feet outside the building I pick up 2 bars of LTE. 3G speed test .64Mbps d .73Mbps u 4G speed test: 2.97Mbps d 1.08 u on same server Is the penetration of the 4G signal really that bad? Is it a matter of time before all the 3G becomes 4G? I keep getting told by sprint reps to "hold on it'll be worth it", do you guys agree?
