The lower part of the Upper East Side has some great service. 68th and 1st got 20+/7+. Cuts off right around 72nd and higher. Couldn't get a good view of the panels though. I think the 70s is still waiting.

Probably more testing. The good thing is that we know work is happening, we see it in the reports.

More testing in the 11432 area too. Down time again. Now when it's like this, would they be at the actual tower working in the panels or more likely just doing computer stuff from off site?

I would say computer stuff, and rarely onsite.

In my area around 1 AM my tower always goes down, like 2 weeks ago they fixed my signal strength and I get an amazing -55 dBm, speeds are still slow so every time 1AM comes around and I lose signal I wait and once its back on I start doing speed test lol. So random question which might actually be considered off topic and if so please ignore.

 

How many years do you guys/gals have with Sprint? I just made my first year and I feel very proud that I remained loyal and mainly it was because of this site, it gave me hope. Sprint should pay Robert...

Yup he gets 5 billion dollars and he keeps 50 percent and the other 50 goes to top posters on this board. Ok what should I spend my money on? A upcoming galaxy s 4? Or maybe 20 percent of Samsung. I think I'll go with the last choice :o

If only that was true :(

 

Yep. This forum is the only reason I am still with sprint. Otherwise I would've move to tmobile and enjoying great hspa+ speed in nyc. Hope sprint picks up lte very fast.

 

Well Sprint is picking up, I have more faith on Sprint than T-Mobiles network.

one of the LTE site nearby my house in Flushing (Roosevelt Ave and Parson Blvd) has three serving cell#s; 466, 297 and 128. i think they are facing different side of the building and sometimes they are all off but sometimes they turn on one of the cell and sometimes like today, they turned on 297 and 128, but not 466. are they testing signal strength of each cell or something?

Work or live in the area?

Those are the three sectors of the site, so they could be taking down a sector at a time for testing or tuning.

Sorry mods but back on topic I have a question my sis taking a trip to ny. How is lte in Manhattan and the bx?

The Heights in Manhattan are covered pretty well, and the Bronx is awesome. Check out Sensorly for more.

    • 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.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
