Well things have certainly gotten a lot better in Weston. One of the formerly trouble spots is now a full build that's rocking and rolling. Still one more tower to check, but everything else is top

I just got off the phone with sprint an they said within the next 30 to 60 days lte should be live in the west palm beach area. That's soinds like a long time cause i can't stream pandora or youtube with out it buffering lol i jus wanna smash my phone somtimes

That may sound like a long time but if that what's they're saying then expect 60-90 days before an official announcement. We've all seen activity down south but I've yet to see anything in West Plam down into Boca Raton.

 

I know my tower friend got called to DC to help with relief efforts and restoring the Sprint network up there. That may slow us down here since there are less techs.

Well they sure do need it! I'm waiting on LTE in West Palm before I pull the trigger on a Note II.. No SVDO for 3G but it does support SVLTE. If we don't go live soon OR news breaks on the CDMA HTC J variant (currently Verizon exclusive DNA) then I'll just continue enjoying my E4GLTE.

Anyone having problems using Sensorly on their phones and/or loading the page on the computer?

 

This morning I kept trying to access the page and it kept timing out and I had to reload many times for it to work etc. I had forgotten about this, and so I was just coming south on Palmetto and I picked 4G around NW 36th St, i remembered someone mentioning that now 4G extends all the way to SW 88th St and so I wanted to map it however when I went to "map trip" and hit "start" it wouldnt collect any points (4g nor 3g/2g). I came home and tried to access sensorly.com and had the same problems as in the morning. Then it hit me that it might be related...

 

Anyways, I didnt keep 4G till SW 88th St, it dropped a little bit before the SW 72nd St exit.

No problems here. I know yesterday I got an update from sensorly via the App Store.

Been having trouble with the app opening on my iPod touch after the update yesterday. Works fine on my note 2 though.

Right now I'm in Miami Gardens at 57th ave and 176th st and I was hoping I would pick up 4G from the first tower that went live in the Miami market but sadly I'm not getting anything...

 

Based on the sensorly map your out of range from that tower. There's no purple area there. That's like the same scenario here where I live. I'm within 1-3 blocks away from LTE on turnpike and 120 st. But here in Kendall breeze I can't pick up LTE. Once that tower on 874 or hammocks goes live I'm sure I will.

Look at the dark purple. That's where the tower is (183rd st and 47 ave). Also look at all the less-solid purple zones spawning to the sides, which I think obviously is from that same tower.

 

There's no tall buildings or anything in this area. I think I should be able to get signal where I am.

 

My guess is that the tower is off. When I leave here I will pass by where the tower is to confirm if indeed I'm out of range or the tower is off.

It may very well be that I'm out of range but the fact that there's no purple shading does not imply that. It could be that there is signal but no one has mapped it (which is what I was hoping)

 

That's true. I was hoping the same here where I live at. I'm literally like 2 blocks away from purple area and no LTE.

It also depends on whichever phone you have. I was excited to see lte was mapped at the gym I go to since 3G is always useless in there even with 5 bars. When I got there today this is what I found.

My iPhone never got an lte signal. Not even outside in the garage. I'm guessing some phones have a stronger radio than others and that's why some people get lte in some areas while other people do not.

And I have the GS3 which according to Robert is one of the good ones from his unpublished testing of the different LTE radios in the different phones.

 

Btw, i passed by the tower and I picked up 4G so yeah I guess I was out of range where I was...

:scratch: If your iPhone is the 4s (as your profile shows), then don't expect to find an LTE signal.

      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....
