The complaints in this thread need to stop. They violate posting rules, as S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints.   Several of you should consider becoming sponsors, thus having access to our Netwo

Tech support was no help. They are saying 24 to 72 hours. Makes you think what could be? Cold weather LOL? Maybe we are about to have some 800 service.

I have data back (for) now l, I did notice slower let on white horse rd today when I tested it. Maybe the late coverage will improve over this upgrade period.

Hoping that this network vision help coverage, especially in buildings. If there weren't trees in the day I probably could see the closest tower to me about a mile away. So far I have decent 3g at my work which is good.

Been getting alerts from Signal Check Pro about 1x 800 coverage in the Columbia area. Phone seems to treat it like a roaming condition as it tries to cycle to a different tower or frequency so it may have pretty low priority in the PRL.

AJCola dose your Sprint zone app under my device, then dashboard, then voice network say any tickets like the one I posted a pic of the other day? I looked at a friend's Sprint gs3 and it had nothing under it for network upgrades but I have noticed it has been better than usual. The ticket is supposed to be closed tomorrow as far as a voice and data issue and the network vision ticket also, I'll keep y'all posted of it dose and if I see an improvement.

My voice coverage has gotten better but no 800 yet, although I wish I could say the same for data. Although my 3g speeds have been fluctuating, sometimes over 1.5mbps others barely 0.05mbps. I still yet to find out who's new tower is going up on ceader lane road near riverside family restaurant, a cross from it actually.

Cleartalk? I'm gonna have to look them up never heard of them. I was hoping it was a Sprint tower. Sent from my LG G2 on the Now Network

It's a prepaid provider - I.... Think...

 

 

On an unrelated note, the tower just off 378 in West Columbia across from the Jersey Mike's is now LTE live.

 

Not as fast as I'd expect, but faster than 3G. I mapped I-26 to Downtown on Sensorly this afternoon as well. Didn't get a gap in LTE even on my HTC ONE that is notorious for lack luster LTE reception.

That's plenty fast! That's 8.95 Mbps. Maybe it'd help to switch from kilobytes per second to megabits per second in the app.

I'm not running a Sprint / Samsung Touchwiz ROM so I cannot answer for those applications.  However, the following link should display the same information you are asking about.  Not much regarding NV of late for me.  Have dropped calls now and previously may have been tower under upgrades.

File size is in bytes... I like the math better to see it in kilobytes.

 

 

But, compared to this result I pulled from tower CR04AW453 just down the road from this new tower, it's about 66% slower.

You are getting awesome speeds. 23Mbps! I just think that in measuring internet speeds, megabits per second is the standard. In measuring file download speed, we look at kilobytes per second or megabytes per second because we know how large the file we are downloading is.

You can use Bytes over Bits for your personal use. But please don't post screen shots here in Bytes. It confuses people, because everyone else posts in bits. And it gives the impression that Sprint's speeds are slow, when in reality 23Mbps is a very good result on a 5MHz carrier. And I can tell you everyone who has ever posted here a screen shot from another provider did so using bits. Thanks.

      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....
