Does fast 3G speeds mean NV overhaul was done?


Recommended Posts

So my 3G speeds have always been pretty bad around 100-300 kbps and I have heard on this Site that after the NV overhaul 3G speeds will increase to 1+ mbps.

 

I just began at University of Miami and did a speed test at the University of Miami campus and I got 1.43 mbps download over 3G which I have never experienced before.

 

Does that mean the tower I'm connected to (I don't know which one) got the NV back haul? How soon would a LTE signal regularly follow?

 

How could I know which towers have received the NV backhaul without having to be connected to them and getting a 1+ mbps speed test on 3G.

 

Thanks.

I've seen speedtests over 2mbps on non-NV/legacy sites so I wouldn't take a fast 3G connection as NV complete. I see you are a sponsor, so check out the interactive NV Complete map in that section for the latest and greatest sites accepted by Sprint from the OEM.

    • T‑Mobile Shatters World Record for 5G Uplink Speed https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-shatters-for-5g-uplink-speed The biggest news in this is that T-Mobile only recently got access to n258 after swapping their n260 for it with AT&T and they wasted no time deploying it at SoFi Stadium. Hopefully that means we're gonna start seeing a lot more mmWave deployments in stadiums soon. *fingers crossed*
    • Would anyone else be curious in helping me compile a list of quirks for various devices/modems/chipsets for SCP? I've noticed that Mediatek chipsets seem to report more information than Qualcomm. I bought a cheap Moto G 5G 2024 and notice that it displays the LTE downlink bandwidth, and the NSA information of T-Mobile, something that my S22+, which is also Qualcomm, won't do. I'm hoping that we can convince either Google or OEMs to fix their reporting on various devices. So far across all Qualcomm devices I've tested: - NR neighbor cells don't report - NR downlink or uplink bandwidth doesn't report (NR doesn't appear with CA as a result, only showing LTE) - NR signal levels randomly stop updating for various period of time before continuing to update (affects CellMapper more) - LTE CA levels randomly report and don't always update quickly when CA changes   On the S22: - LTE Timing Advance (TA) doesn't work and always reports 0, reported issue to Samsung and waiting to hear back   On the Samsung Galaxy S series (USA - Qualcomm Snapdragon): - LTE downlink or uplink bandwidth isn't reported - T-Mobile NR NSA doesn't report band information, AT&T & Verizon work OK (n5 & n77 tested)
    • Definitely. There are still a handful of Sprint sites here that haven't been decommissioned yet but also haven't been upgraded yet and they're offline. I think T-Mobile really wants to keep them but for one reason or another is running into trouble.
