Report Your LTE Connection Here

[nahum365]

I was at the Rolling Road and Rt 40 intersection yesterday (the tower there is atrocious by the way 0.01Mbps) and my iPhone got a bar of LTE for a split second, then it disappeared. The tower I was connected to was NOT being worked on. I was in line of sight to the tower & not sure of any other towers in a 1-2 mile radius with work being done. Was this a fluke? It was one bar...

EDIT- looks like someone else has experienced this too. Fluke it is.

LTE is coming alive in Santa Clara. Previously, I had it near Apple's campus, about a mile and a half from my house. I had received an LTE signal near Bowers and Central, it disappeared, and now it is back strong. It followed me all the way to work, down Great America and on Tasman in San Jose. I have a Tri-Fi, and their iPhone app was updated and now broken, so I can't report anything more useful than "bars."

Thanks for the info; since you can't run Sensorly, at least you shared it.

 

So now, someone go plot it!

I'll get a chance in the next few days to do so.

Just saw a purple blip pop up on Sensorly in the Nashville area!

DTLA is purple.

DTLA is purple.

 

Finally! I ran a couple speedtests on Sensorly last night after picking up an LTE signal at my apartment for the first time. I'll see if I can map some more DTLA areas as I'm walking around this weekend. Sure beats the 0.3 d/l and u/l I get at work in Torrance.

Excellent. When you get a chance, please run the Sensorly app. It will plot the coverage there in Upper Marin and allow us to track coverage and deployment on the Sensorly.com website. Thanks!

Hello,

I just signed up to let you guys know I seen 4G/LTE connection in the city of Rockford. The signal have been really bad here for the past 3 or so months I would say and I guess just now we are starting to see some good results because of that.

 

Its still not all over the place.. I seen it in very few areas so far.. the speed wasn't consistant but that is to be expected as they are working on it.

 

This is on my samsung GS3.. rooted stock.

Rockford, IL 61109

Hopefully they compelete it soon and turn LTE on for the whole city.

thanks.

Looks like coverage is getting better and better all around Rockford: http://www.sensorly....ckford,illinois

The tower must be in your back yard! Sounds like your SNR is sky high.

i didn't think more than 37mbps down was possible in a 5Mhz channel

It's not. However, I experienced this same anomaly in Waco testing. I had 2 or 3 speed tests that exceeded the maximum speed. Up to 40Mbps. However, when I would do speed tests immediately after the 40Mbps result, they would always drop back down to 37.0-37.5 Mbps speeds for the next 10-12 tests. I just chalked the results higher than 37.5Mbps as inaccurate anomalies.

 

Not that there is any noticeable difference between 37.5Mbps and 40Mbps.

Looks like the Sunland/Tujunga area of California has 4G. I'm getting 18-20 Mbps speeds.

[shawn_B_nice]

I think I am pretty close to one but he's right I tried testing it again and it was between 30-37 which is still faster then my com cast

I get LTE in Gardena, CA using an iphone 5

[blinky847]

Saw LTE in a few places with my Galaxy Nexus:

D: 9.87 Mbps

U: 6.92 Mbps

Ping: 45 ms

Coords: 41.99528, -87.80543

This one was nearby Norwood Park Metra station (Chicago, IL, NW side)

 

D: 21.38 Mbps

U: 8.63 Mbps

Ping: 50 ms

Coords: 42.16354,-87.88149

Nearby Deerfield & Sanders Rds in Deerfield, IL, Lake County.

 

D: 3.14 Mbps

U: 1.79 Mbps

Ping: 53 ms

Coords: 42.04123, -87.88807

Metra Station in Des Plaines, IL, just outside the Sprint LTE coverage area

 

Saw an LTE 'blip' when riding the UPNW Metra train passing by Kedzie & Belmont when in Chicago. And some fringe coverage in the western part of Glenview, IL, very weak.

 

Chicago progress for Sprint appears to be good, except for my Airave drama, but that's another thread.

Don't always believe the speed tests. This upload is a total fluke here..

LTE here in Memphis!

Bars don't mean much. Gotta look at your RSRP, RSRQ, and SNR.

How do I obtain these details on the iPhone 5?

Thats pretty dang fast! My buddy has a new ATT Iphone5 out in KC and he hit 50M down once. I thought ATT was going to have a huge edge with maximum download speed due to them having more bandwidth for LTE channels but this is pretty dang close. Didn't know the max was about 37M thought it was more like 20. For what I really do 3M would be enough. I just want to stream Youtube well and decent web page speeds. A ping <100ms sure would be nice too.
