I feel like I hit the Jackpot... Lol.... I have a high priority ticket open with Sprint Exec care and they forwarded my ticket to the local Ericsson tech. He called me directly. He was so impressed

This has nothing to do with what you pay for. The deployment is nowhere near done in Orlando. The speeds are because half the towers in the city have been upgraded. So 100,000 LTE users are being c

How often is the current production rate updated? Just wondering, since I'm pretty sure it bumped up about 10% since last time I looked at it less than a month ago. Does it update automatically ?

It only gets updated when the numbers are run, a couple times a month. It used to be once a week, but now that there are so many markets and so much data it takes a lot more time to do, so it's not as often.

So I noticed something. If I go long periods of time without using my iPhone in my room, I almost always find it on LTE with one bar (one circle on iOS 7  :P), but as soon as I try to use data, it immediately switches to 1x, then 3G. I don't know why, but what a tease lol

Happens to me every single day, multiple times a day in my apartment as well. I think you might be on the edge of the signal limit then..

This happens to me all the time in one room of the house. Usually signal is -118 to -124

Essentially one or zero bars. Definitely not usable.

Yup. Happens to me, and then mine switches back to 3g. So sad though. Can walk to the other side of my hallway in my apartment complex and 3 bars and LTE. Makes me want to cry. haha :twitch:

Translate that into, I don't have an android, english for me :D haha

 

You still have an engineering screen where you can look at signal levels. I don't remember the shortcut to get there though. A quick search should find it.

Closer to Zero yes.

Well then it just bumped up to -118 and then back to the -90s....Looks like I have something interesting to do when walking my dog tonight. Gonna see how low it gets when I'm in the LTE zone. Ha. LTE zone....I'll see myself out Edited by jamisonshaw125

It actually got worse when I went into LTE .... Dropped down to -110 to -120

LTE values will typically be lower, for a couple of reasons. One being it is displayed in RSRP rather than RSSI so the numbers are different. Second that the LTE sure you were connecting to was probably father away than the site giving you EVDO.

One reason can be that when not in use you have the phone sitting on a piece of furniture. Once you put it on your hand the your body alters the antenna properties; though very slight. Remember that your body does have electrical properties. This is normal performance.

As a certified project manager, I don't buy this logic. You can have excuses or you can have results. Not both.

A project manager's job is to coordinate and plan so that these fall into place together. Yeah, every now and again, s**t happens. But if every job is delayed by municipalities, backhaul, then someone needs to anticipate this and get an earlier start.

As a CDT/CCCA myself, I disagree. This is a nationwide project. It's not one local project. It is 99 very large regional projects. It was rushed to start so some results could be seen early for customers.

 

They could have done more planning and spent a lot of time up front to make sure that Network Vision went as smooth and seamless as possible. However, that would have delayed the start of Network Vision another 6-9 months and the completion date would still be roughly the same.

 

So which is better, run out the door and do anything and everything possible every day so that customers can start seeing some results immediately, or wait and do more planning and delay the first sites that could be worked on now until they all can be done together farther down the road? Sprint chose the former, you suggest the latter. And you get the luxury of choosing after the fact, and after a period of results that you can measure.

 

Perhaps if Sprint could have seen into the future, they would have made a different choice. But I doubt it. Because of the head start their competitors had, there was an urgency to start as soon as possible. They had the potential of losing millions of customers.

 

Sprint is not the carrier for everyone. And now with Network Vision there is a clear measuring stick in which to see the deployment of LTE. If it doesn't meet your needs and you cannot wait for the evolution of the network in your area, you should find another carrier.

This.This.This. Sprint is not in the business of losing money....Oh wait, thats not just sprint. Thats every single corporation that exists. It's clear that they are doing everything in their power to speed things up, even with all the set backs/ hold ups, that have been slowing the complete network overhaul....

 

HAve to run that through peoples minds a few times. Complete network overhaul, not just 4g lte rollout. May be taking a while, but I think it'll be worth it in the long run for sure. Still highly anticipating Orlando launch. Would be an excellent christmas present.

Has anybody seen anything in the PSL area? I figured since they launched that area they wouldn't leave the 6 remaining towers without upgrades. I know there is still lots to do everywhere but maybe they launched a little premature...

had to drive over to Bithlo this morning, talk about an LTE hotzone! I was running tests and getting between 10-20mbps down all the way until I got back up on Alafaya - then it went back to solid 3G.

that they do, I was doing the three SSS's, Signalcheck Pro, Speedtest, and Sensorly. Everytime the signal would decline, it would drop to 3G then reacquire another tower and BOOM - LTE again.

      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....
