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.

HOLY PING!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

(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?

    • T-Mobile Fires Back At AT&T After Their Statements On T-Priority
    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
