Yea but its the first LTE signal I've gotten in my apartment for a while at -120db. Upload didn't do anything but hey it's a sign that its getting closer.

 

Yeah probably when LTE is fully deployed you'll have a better signal .

I have LTE now and I wasn't even lookin for it. If it was just this easy. But seriously it's really almost anywhere I go. I look at my phone at one place and it says 3G and the next place LTE. I must get it at least 10 times a day.

 

Same here on my daily commutes to campus.

Wow so right now my signal is -57 in my house, it's usually around -80 through -101 range. This time I placed a phone call and it worked because last time it was this good I couldn't make calls. Even if this is temp like all the time I at least know my tower is still being worked on and it is going to be awesome!

Why? Do you want to see a pretty press release with NYC on it? Your coverage will not instantly change due to some press release.

 

Sent from my little Note2

 

People are conditioned to think that way because that's how the Bells and Deutsche Telekom does their rollouts. Although, to be fair, the 1900 HSPA rollout has been pretty much by tower as well.

Tmobile is hyping up their 1900mhz because they are supposedly gonna have the iPhone. I currently have a prepaid tmobile account with truly unlimited hspa and I get speeds like 5mbps on avg

That is GREAT news.

 

What phone are you using now? To get a -57dB signal from a -80dB means that they made some physical tilt adjustments as well.

Oh Jesus! Noticed I had like 2 bars so I randomly did a speed test and got this:

Yea I think they're working on the tower closest to me because I've only been connecting to this distant LTE tower (most likely the LTE tower I previously posted about). Hence the weak signal where I usually get 3-4.5 solid bars in my apartment.

Nice. Where was that?

 

intersection of 38th avenue and Parsons Blvd in Flushing. it was around -80dbm. The tower is going in and out of LTE signal for the past two weeks. i think signal is getting strong.

    • 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....
