And when you consider that Sprint thought it was going to be able to offload a lot of their data tonnage onto the WiMax network, and did not see data usage to grow by double its most liberal projectio

3072 is the highest link speed. You have to have a very good connection along with an empty carrier on that sector and enough backhaul to support that so it is rare... Hell 2.7 is rare.. I don't even

None of this objective fact. But this conjecture is fairly well supported and has been posted numerous times on S4GRU.   The iPhone did not help, but Clearwire -- its failure to roll out WiMAX full

Fastest I've seen was 3Mbps at 2AM and I was a 5 minute drive from the tower in Brooklyn. The fastest the I have seen mid day was 2.4 Mbps in Battery Park City.

You have a speed test? I would like to see the ping and upload as well, just for curiosity's sake.

No sorry. Wish I would've kept it because I regularly delete apps on my phone. My ping was in the low 60's and upload reached about 1.4. I would've kept it had I known that this topic was here.

Wow, that's impressive. I still haven't gotten an upload above 1mbps when the download was above 2mbps. Was this pre-NV or post?

I believe it is post NV because I have received lower pings and higher speeds recently. However I am not 100% sure because I haven't gone to the tower itself yet.

I loaded a Verizon prl today and did speed tests all day. Verizon definite has more coverage but Sprint is right up there.

The screen shot is Verizon at my local movie theater. Sprint pulled 2.07 mbps down and 783kbps up. Surprsingly, sprint had 95 ms ping while Verizon had 200+. Overall, I'd pick sprint over the Verizon speed because anything over 2mbps is more than enough for me. :-)

While roaming on Verizon EvDo, I have never had a ping less than 200, even though the speed has been right up there where yours is. I think it may be because you aren't going through Verizon directly, so the ping takes longer. Just a guess, but if anyone wants to chime in if they know the reason, I'd be interested. ;)

I have had some relatively slow pings on Verizon.

I think it's because Verizon has way more subscribers than sprint in my area. They have more backhaul though.

I hit 2.52Mbps on a completed NV site in Waco. Otherwise the fastest I have hit in NM is 2.2Mbps. None of the sites in my immediate area exceed 1.4Mbps because they are all on T1's.

I would assume that would mean the tower by my house isn't T1 then, since I got over 1.4 Mbps, huh?

So, does that mean if I've seen 2.1-2.2 Mbps, backhaul has already been upgraded to NV-quality? Our local towers got some bandaid fixes a while back, and I knew that was part of it (because we were hitting 0.5 off peak times before)

If you are in an NV market, then probably yes. If you are not, then no. Sprint is doing maintenance upgrades in non NV markets adding backhaul. In places where they cannot get additional T1 lines timely, they are switching to AAV backhaul. When this occurs, you may get speeds over 2Mbps even in advance of Network Vision deployment.

 

This has occurred it about 10 sites around the ABQ area in the past six months or so. Its nice where you can get it.

West Michigan, so second round market. So no.

What's AAV backhaul? I've actually noticed improved speeds all over West Michigan (Grand Rapids/Kentwood specifically) for 3G, getting 2+ Mbps in areas that were previously overloaded.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
