Yesterday I was at Petco Park, and I got a decent 4G signal. Then I went onto the browser. Took almost 5 minutes to load facebook. Switched off onto 3G and facebook loaded in 10 seconds. I did speed tests, and 3G got 1.51 upload 4G got .58 upload.

WiMAX performance seems to be complete hit and miss.

 

Thankfully, Sprint is doing 4G LTE correctly and will offer a much more consistent experience.

San Diego only has WiMax Protection Sites, which have highly variable performance results. And almost all WiMax Protection Sites were deployed with only one carrier. So if you were there during a game, that one carrier was probably very overloaded.

      A new 60MB GP System update was waiting when I checked my S24+ tonight.  And bringing it to a November 1 date this time.

      Drove by there and it definitely isn't on the Northlake property. It was very late, so I couldn't see much else though. Did some more sleuthing on GoogleMaps and I suspect it might be this powerline site nearby: Google Maps I will go by there in the next couple of days during the daytime and see if that's the case.

      Vinegar Hill is getting the Brooklyn Heights treatment now with regard to small cells. I mapped two more small cells in the neighborhood in the past few days so now T-Mobile is up to 8 of them in such a tiny neighborhood. While it's cool they're doing this since it means outdoors you get a consistent 400Mbps+ almost everywhere, it sucks because they're obviously deploying so many of them to make up for their lack of a macro site in the entire neighborhood. Because there isn't a macro, the small cells have a greater coverage area than you see in other neighborhoods and you often connect to them while indoors but coverage and speeds fall off indoors much faster on small cells than on macros in my experience.  Even Dish has better coverage than T-Mobile in Vinegar Hill since they added the site on top of the Extra Space Storage building alongside AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile needs to get in line with their competitors there.
