Report Your LTE Connection Here


Recommended Posts

Yes i did. It had LTE with 2 bars. I will double check next saturday on my way baltimore.

I've gotten LTE in that area as well! But its always been just 1 bar, and it disconnects immediately.

3 bar LTE in Mill Valley, CA . . . 40 ms ping, 7.10 Mbps download, 6.64 Mbps upload. I was inside a restaurant, so perhaps the speed would have been better out on the street, or in another part of town. Looks like I need to add the screen shots to "My Media" before I can post here, so will be back.

What is the password to see the Sponsor Maps? Or is it blocked for everyone now?

 

There is no password, you need to be a donating sponsor to view that forum/those maps.

Was going down thomas road, next to target and all of the suddon My 4G kicked on! :D

You could tell its in the middle of being tested. Couldn't really do anything on it or take a speed test.

46804, Fort wayne indiana :P

Ok, I cant seem to upload any pics from my phone to this site. I cant even find Flash in the market to download that. I'm on an Evo 4g LTE.

 

Anyway, I was just in Jack London Square here in Oakland, CA. I was at Broadway and 3rd. Street and I had LTE. 5565kbps up and 7560kbps down. Ping 65Ms.

 

I sure hope it's faster when it officially launches here. If it's not, that's disappointing on the download side.

LTE performance is very signal strength dependent. With those speeds, you likely did not have a very strong signal.

Got 26.56Mbps Down/4.02Mbps Up, 29.20/4.15 (4-5 bars signal), East Palo Alto, CA in Ikea today. It was blazing fast.

:)

 

At 1-2 bars signal it dropped to 5-8Mbps/1Mbps

In Petaluma, Ca if I am close to the tower which is right by the highway I can get 31 down and 14 up. By my house maybe a mile or two down the road I get 3-4 down and 3 up. When I am closer to the tower my phone (EVO 4G LTE) it will auto connect. If I am at my house I have to cycle airplane mode to get it to connect and the second I turn my screen off it drops back to 3G. I hope sprint updates my phone and gives us the weaker 4G signal over the stronger 3G signal since my 3G speeds are terrible inside my home (about .3 mbps down)

by the way when I get 30ish down the signal reads about -80 to -85 dbps? and at home it's more like -110 to -115

 

This sounds about right on to the performance I have experienced with LTE signals. Here is what I experienced for average download speeds in FIT testing:

  • Better than -96dBm RSRP between 25-37Mbps
  • Between -97dBm and -107dBm RSRP between 10Mbps-25Mbps
  • Between -108dBm and -114dBm RSRP between 3Mbps-10Mbps
  • Worse than -115dBm RSRP under 3Mbps

even those worse case scenario speeds i'll take at my house since the 3G is so bad. But the radio never auto switches to 4G. I have to airplane mode cycle and even then it won't stay on for long. I hope an update from sprint can fix that.

It's a known bug for the HTC EVO LTE. However, it becomes more tolerable in denser deployed areas.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
