Not sure what i can gleam from that thread other than SNR fluctuation cause interference with tower signal.

Sorry if this has been asked before but is the signal strength a tower transmits constant? I get that internet speeds will fluctuation when there is less or more traffic but what i never understood is the fluctuation of signal strength one receives on their phones. is there a correlation with the two?

I'll confirm when i get home which bands the Samsung S4's get. Here in Fresno, my LG gets band 25 and i really think that's what the Samsung S4's are getting too.

is it possible to get band 41 if reception for band 26 is better than avg.?

just our phones - does that make a difference? My phone rarely gets 4g (LG FLEX) and the other phones get 4G about 50% of the time.

We have 3 phones and all have the unlimited data plan.

Thanks. Too bad Sprint didn't ask me where to place their tower. I'm about 2.5 miles away from the tower and i'm sure that moving it 1/2 mile closer would have made a world of difference. I was at my mother's house yesterday who's about 1 mile away from the tower and on band 41 i got 39 mbps speeds yesterday.

Great........do you have one you recommend? what about band 41?

We do not have broadband at home as we live too far from U-verse or Comcast and my only source for internet is my phone. So how can you help?

Anybody have experience with signal boost antennas and whether they actually help. i live on the fringe of the 4G area in 93631. Our Samsung S4 phones will have LTE sevice for most of the time (band 26) but my LG Flex will rarely get any 4G at home.

Holy Grail!!!..........I know I will have passed on because I don't ever expect to see that in my lifetime!

I got 22.10 mbps and 13.75 mbps but since then it's been a total dog with connecting most of the time to 3G. I blame the poor air quality .

Took this today in kingsburg, zip 93631. Band 41

I wish i knew at the time (i know now) how to take a screen when band 41 was on the hidden menu. The speed was pretty fast and i know think when its hitting those crazy 17 mpbs it must be on that bad. As i have mentioned in the past, i hiy those speeds occasionly about once every 10 days or so.
