I thought these band-aid fixes were NV?

[Ascertion]

Now I noticed Jax, FL is getting NV/LTE rollout at the same time. I thought the entire time they were doing "minor upgrades" in my area that it was network vision. Am I wrong? And if I'm pulling 2.6Mbps DL at my house, is it possible that when they put the new towers in that my speeds might go down if they tilt the panels a different angle?

There is not likely to be much difference in downtilt on a NV site than a legacy site. The only differences in downtilt we have discussed really have been related to LTE.

 

Even if they do modify the downtilt, it likely would not have much effect on you. EVDO is not really signal strength dependent. With 3G EVDO performance drops very little from -65dBm to -102dBm. But then falls off a cliff after -102dBm. If you are getting consistent 2.6Mbps DL now, you likely will after NV too.

2.6 Mbs download oh my god. What kind of pings are getting over there.

I really do love my sprint gs3.

 

 

And thanks Rob for the confirmation.

Damn dude I live in jax but I only know of one place I can get those speeds but it's in the morning hours.

Dang i would've thought you'd get maybe a little bit lower pings with such high download and upload speeds but where you in downtown or in Orange Park, Fleming, Beach, or any other suburbs around Jacksonville going there monday and would like to know how good 3G performance is.

Pings and speeds don't go hand in hand. It all depends on the backhaul.

Well with Backhual that gets speeds like that id assume that pings would be lower but I guess not. Like I saw a video in NYC that got good speeds and 80ms pings

[Ascertion]

I honestly haven't seen a faster speed ever. (Even from other people.) On my GS2, I maxed at about 2.2mbps. The GS3 shows much stronger signal (probably PRL related, aswel.)

 

But the stars are the towers in my area and the circle is my house.

 

The Sprint tower to the southeast of my house is the one that's getting LTE first. I'm really hoping I'm inside range.

 

EDIT: reason behind me making this thread is because if I go down the street (literally, about a football field), my speeds are .5 mbps. LOL I'm fortunate that my house is really good, I was just curious if the towers would be adjusted in any way that may hinder my house performance.

Not very fast pings...

Is it because it using Microwave instead of Fiber for the backhual? Edited July 5, 2012 by Steven800

Don't know, it is a Verizon tower.
