Here's my Sprint 3G speed test in Houston. For 3G service, this is the best latency I've ever seen. I'm sure I could get up to 3mbps download if I really tried. Just getting you guys excited here haha

For what its worth, spotted Tower Workers going up the tower on US 92 and I-95 (behind the waffle house in Daytona Beach) this morning around 11 AM. Always had great 3G speeds in this vicinity. Nice to see 4G tweaks still underway.

That's pretty much exactly what I get. Or roaming at my house 3 miles away from downtown. Sprint should be paying you to use their service.

HAha right. AT this point I think so. It sucks because I think all the LTE upgrades have been done in my area and I still drop calls every single time I make one practically.?...I guess I'll be contacting sprint and mention that I want a AIRRAVE.

Yeah it was slow in this forum for a few days. I lean on all of you for advice, since I'm still on a 3G only device :) I can say from a 3G perspective only, it has been stagnant the past couple of weeks around Orlando. 

 

I'm just extremely excited about Samsung's Sept 5th event and Apple's Sept 10th event. Will have the opportunity to select a new phone and make a decision on carriers. So I'll be checking in every day to get everyone's latest opinion on the LTE status!

Will the Clearwire towers be upgraded to Sprint LTE? There were workers on the tower at Alafaya and Research Pkwy today. They magically disappeared with first crack of lightning though... I wonder why... LOL! I dont envy them their job at all!

At the very least, it seems quite likely that if you're anywhere close to a tower you'll eventually enjoy 2600 LTE, which benefits everyone since it'll provide that network offload that Sprint tried to achieve with WiMax in the first place.

Drove down to Orlando yesterday and was getting LTE on about half or a little more of the drive down 95. Staying at the caribe royal till fri then heading to Disney, getting great LTE in our room around the resort down to irlo Bronson, going around today, ill see where else I get it

Remember, LTE is not used for calls. These are still been handled by the 3g side. So if the towers by you still have the legacy stuff you will see no changes for voice.

I'm in Kissimmee by the Osceola regional medical center and have. Full LTE signal but no working data turn off LTE and 3G works great..on vaca in Disney and the LTE is working great is this a launched area so sprint can actually be notified about it

Welcome to Orlando. Osceola Regional has several locations. We are not a launched market yet but should be pretty soon. There are some areas where LTE has a -65 signal... enjoy your vacay.

thanks, come here almost every year, was thinking about moving here, sorry that's my tourist self thinking there's only one hospital by that name lol the one we were at was on corner of west oak and north rose. Hotel we have been at for two days has great coverage will find out tomorrow how art of animation is. LTE is just coming online where I'm from so this is great for me

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
