Non network vision 3g speeds. (speedtest)


Recommended Posts

Are those average speeds? I'll take half of that anyday on 3G consistantly!

 

When I first switched to Sprint I thought they all would be like that.

When I first switched to Sprint it was like that :(. I used to hit 2.5mbps in my apartment sometimes.

my average 3G speed right now is between 800kpps and 1.7 mpps...

 

But have you ever made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs?

Miami is getting lte really soon. You'll be set for quite awhile. :-)

I'm from the country and when you get a strong signal the speeds are always decent.There just aren't too many people connected. Before data was an issue at all though, sometimes when we were out at some friend's house we would have to stand on the pickup truck to make a cell phone call. We would use the cordless phone but we had to leave the barn (where the chairs for sitting and talking about football and transmissions and the "beer fridge" was) after they started using the metal siding it just wouldn't have good signal to the base. So it was just as good to use the cell which would at least ring. And now you all know just how redneck my childhood was... Also thinking about it, I remember when someone rolled over a 4-wheeler in a creek on a nokia phone and it still worked, those memes are true.

 

In the last three years though, college has put me in towns and cities with greatly fluctuating populations. It's funny to watch kids squirm in pain as Facebook loads forever (on any carrier) while trying to figure out how to make devices work on WPA2 enterprise and then sometimes getting a bad IP. As soon as school is out and the majority of the kids leave the area, bam speed.

 

...so yeah, non NV areas were fine until the everyone seemed to buy an iPhone at once.

Not completely. 3G was painfully slow on my OG EVO months before I got the iPhone. However, once the iPhone launched, it just got worse :(

In pittsburgh I get between 1-2Mb/s so its not too bad... but when I go home north of pittsburgh, it gets painfully slow and I cant remember a place that I actually get above 2 bars on my phone (i know they're not an accurate representation of true signal, but this is just a comparison), it is barely enough for me to stream Pandora while mowing the lawn. My only hope is that when they deploy 800MHz LTE, I will get a good signal, and not have to roam on 3G b/c verizon is really not much better with their speeds, and roaming deals let them throttle you further.

Seems to me that everyone is having an amazing time with Sprint but me :( I can't wait to compare results with NV. But for now this is what I am dealing with.

 

You're not alone.

I spent a day in Albuquerque yesterday (definitely a non NV area). I ran continuous data tests using Root Metrics app. My average speed in 500+ tests was 650kbps. The last time I did a test like this around ABQ, the average was between 350kbps and 400kbps. So on the whole, things have improved.

 

There were several sites that used to be sub 100kbps that are now between 1.5Mbps and 2.5Mbps. Pleasant surprises. However, there are now new sites that are sub 100kbps. Two steps forward, one step back. But to see progress is encouraging.

(i think i'm just surprised it didn't time out or say 'network error', lol)

This is good news, and shows that those 'network improvements' (band-aid fixes) that they show on the sprint website are actually being worked on.

I was surprised today to find these speeds during the day. I was going into work and ran a random speedtest. Finally getting to see some progress with the band aid fixes. lol

Those are good Speeds. Do all the iPhones have that yellow Sprint logo up top?

    • I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.
    • Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.
    • Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless... 
    • I assume that any agreement is not perpetual and has an end date. - Trip
    • I think it is likely that T-Mobile will be forced to honor any existing US cellular roaming agreements in those areas as a condition of them taking over the spectrum.  In that case, there would be no improvement of service unless T-Mobile improves the service offering in those areas.
