Report Your LTE Connection Here


Recommended Posts

4g is really lighting up in the baltimore and surrounding areas. The evo lte is even switching to and from 3g now much better than a week ago. I am shcked at how fast the 4g is now being deployed around these parts.

Well Sprint has some big promises to keep. I don't think they are deploying sites 100% "by the book"...but using more so "stick-and-move tactics"... for the lack of a better phrase. I think that may help explain some of the inconsistancies between what is reportedly accepted by sprint and showing on the completed sites map....and what users are seeing in reality. I see far more sites being lit up than what is officially being reported...thats a good thing! Hope they keep up the pace.

Us1 and Polk street I was also getting a connection outside of Aventura mall at the bus stop. I don't know how to post pictures on here I took a screen shot while in the maps app to show it was working and the location.

I completely disagree with your assessment. There is very little difference between actual coverage and our completed sites map.

While your map has always given me LTE when it says it will, I've found LTE multiple times 10-20 miles away from the closest site completed. Might be the iPhone though. It really loves LTE. It'll prefer -110dbm LTE over -65dbm 3G...

We only update once per week, but sites go live every day. Also, sites stay live while waiting for Sprint to come inspect. But my main point is that our maps are extremely accurate. Hell, they are beyond accurate. They come from Sprint!

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
