No. And the way that he shared the photo, I cannot even post a comment to ask him.

My tower tech friend was working on a tower by my mother-in-law's house and we had 4g most of the evening :-D I'll post screen shots tomorrow from my phone and my wife's S3.

 

If you can run the Sensorly app the next time you are connected, that would be great. Thanks!

Maybe Robert cam post a sticky about the Sensorly App and how important it is. Not sure how anyone on this site isn't using it for mapping LTE

How much do i have to donate? 5 10 15 etc?

 

There is no minimum donation. Just know that S4GRU is member supported and not for profit. We use all proceeds to keep us online.

 

We need on average $25 per Sponsor to cover our expenses. Some donate less, some donate more. I will let your wallet and your conscience be your guide.

if this is indeed true. WOW! Those speeds are fast. Ofcourse once more phones are connected speeds will gradually go down. But still...i want Sprint LTE already

I hope you guys can see these screenshots. Two from my Evo and two from my wife's S3. My phone definitely had a harder time getting on and staying on, although I noticed when my phone would switch back to 3G the signal wasn't usable (or ridiculously slow) from my wife's S3. The tower was about half a mile away from where we were (2 miles south of the Dade / Broward line on Red Rd. for those familiar with the area). My tower tech friend said they were doing tests and commissioning the new site, and they expect around 30 towers to be done by the end of the month (estimates he was told). They turn on 4g at night for testing. It was pretty cool... he was asking about the affects of it on our phones to see how it was working. The first speedtest I ran was only about 3 mbit but it dropped from 4g to 3g during the speedtest. We were inside so next time I'll try outside and with the Sensorly app.

Jaggrey, where exactly was this?

 

Thanks.

this is great new and yes where exactly are you located at? is it safe to say sprint LTE will soon be released here in Miami?

That tower is about 2 miles south of the Dade / Broward county line on Red Rd (NW 57th Ave.).

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
