Today mine has been off an on all day long. I'll be getting 1.5 mbs one minute and 1x 20kbs. the next. Seems to stay on and solid in about 20 minute increments. Just had work done on the tower nearest my house yesterday, so was expecting the whacky.

I live in Exeter east of visalia my 3G was out for about 20 min and once it turn back on my internet was really fast YouTube was fast.... Coincidence??? And does anyone know any info if Exeter will lte??

Mine was off in Visalia yesterday by main st and valley oaks dr for about 20 minutes too. I didn't stay in the area long enough to see how it performed after it came back on.

I live in Exeter and recently the sprint zone app just updated everyone that better network and LTE is making its way. I visit this forum everyday to get the latest scoop Im hoping it reaches over here.

There is a lot of work going on in the market. It will happen soon. I lived in the Tulare/Visalia area until I went to college. Whenever I come down to visit, I look for progress. I think Visalia has a few towers that are in progress, but I'm not sure what the story is for the Exeter/Farmersville area.

What about peak hrs?

I haven't been home during peak hours but when I am I'll take a look. But I did notice that the signal strength went from full down to one bar in the same location I was running the speed test which shouldn't happen. I just ran the speed test now and averaged about .70 mgps download and .83 upload which is high compared to before when at this hour

Yeah Kerman is weird right now.  The signal strength is weak but the speeds are faster.  Just using my Facebook App it seems to be loading faster than before too.  I can confirm with plada2315 on the speeds.

Really all over the place today, keeps going between good, amazing (over 2.0 mbs this morning), then down to 1x for a little while. Tower by my house was updgraded recently so hopefully it will stabilize soon!

 

I had never seen anywhere near 2.0 mbs at my house previously so that's great. For the past few years it's been around 100-500 kbs.

 

Something's changing for sure!

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
