I have a question...

 

I got a signal inside my house right now. (I'm still connected as well) So I left my phone in the same spot and decided to run some speed tests on my laptop that's tethered to my LTE connection. I'm in a south suburb of Chicago, when I see what server it's connecting to for the speed test it's in Kansas City. I got like 10mbps when I ran the tests, but the upload speed is slow. Any reason it's connecting to a tower so far away?

 

That's not the tower. That's the server the speed test thinks is the closest due to the ip address location. Pick the server you want.

What is there to talk about? Deployment is just really getting underway. The reach of LTE 1900 and building penetration is the same as their 3G, except at the edge of service because of the fragile

Click on a Cascade ID for a coverage map of that site. Update 6/15/2012, all maps have been updated to better reflect antenna configuration, this is still just an approximate guess as to coverage YMM

I don't think blocking is going to continue much longer. Since Sprint invited PCMag out to one of their sites to experience LTE, I imagine that's a sign that they are going to open it up soon.

Sitting in South College Station, TX and they are playing with LTE on HO54XC799 because I normally get 121kbps to 712kbps download and 38kbps to 843kbps upload on speedtest. Twice today I have gotten 4G designaztion and 5193 & 6182kbps download and 4068 and 3980kbps upload. In between it drops to 3G and the same slow speed. At least it is coming to the hinterlands finially.

I can confirm that they are working on a tower in south College Station behind Whataburger on Rock Prairie. I took a picture (will post later tonight after work). I've also been seeing some intermittent LTE in and around the B/CS area from College Main and S College all the way to past William D Fitch.

Doesn't Hurt to have that kind of Internet speed! I was up on Illinois Rd (sr14) coming into Fort Wayne and recieved probably the fasted speedtest I ever had...

Hope the picture comes out to be legible. The screen shot takes great pics but when I send them, they come out fuzzy.

33.74/DL & 12.78/UL.

Sensorly is spot on, getting lte on i-81 all over west Virginia, Maryland, and parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania. The speeds are weird, I get 30 mbps down and then 3 mbps, I have pics if you guys want I'll upload when I get home.

I finally got a 4G connection around the U Street corridor in Washington DC today. I was driving through 13th and U (NW) and knew there was supposed to be an updated tower in the area, flipped my Evo LTE into and out of airplane mode and got the fabled 4G. I wish I lived closer to the area, but hopefully soon enough Sprint will light up some more towers. They're sending me an airave in the meantime which is great because my phone is essentially unusable in my neighborhood right now.

Briefly got 4G LTE in Bowie, MD while at breakfast. Speeds were 15-25 mbps. However I back down to 3G at my house. So does Western Anne Arundel County, MD fall under the DC or Rockville rollout?

Here's some pics of them working on a tower off FM 2154 in College Station yesterday. I think the tower number is 7873. That's what Field Test was telling me. I also noticed I no longer have eHRPD now that they are working on it, I'm back to Evdo RevA.

 

Sorry for taking so long to get pics up. Had to find a way to shrink the file size to upload so sorry if they are small pics.

There are no apps that accurately describe tower numbers or locations.

 

The best way to post pictures is to find an external host, such as flickr or photobucket and then link back here. I can't tell if that is even a Sprint tower from those images.

Im getting excited more 4G in Bryan, TX. 3 mi south of downtown Bryan and north to 1 mi north of Hwy 21 and east to FM 2223. In downtown I got 18mps. Time for Sprint to crank up the power I got a 4G connection until 100 ft from my house :(

Ok.. I know. I am in Minnesota. I recently rooted my phone.. And for about half an hour.. I wish I knew what part of the root made the 4g work and what got pushed to the phone to stop it.

 

ROOT did not make 4G work and nothing got pushed to the phone to stop it. Probably just typical issues with the htc evo lte. Toggle airplane mode to get lte to work ;) (unless its already being blocked by sprint)

      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....
