I was on lunch today at tmobile checking out their plan prices. One of the reps came up and asked what service you on? I said Sprint and she immediately went on this rant on how sprint is slow, ouch

First off. You need to read up a bit more before you start complaining about speeds.Sprints 5x5 has a maximum theoretical output of 37.5mbps DL and ~ 14 mbps UL. The theoretical maximum is the absolut

Now that is my issue too. Why does backhaul takes so long? It's like these companies don't want to make any money. They take forever to come and hook backhaul.

 

In my experience, there is a process for a process, which involves a process by a committee of simultaneous processes all to process and proceed.

And sometimes the process (permitting, equipment purchasing, backhaul ordering etc) is done bassackwards. Hindsight is 20/20 though...

Wouldnt it be great to live in the expidited Chicago market where lte and 800mhz voice and NV is virtually done. Granted in the beginning it was a mess (calls constantly being dropped and the network was virtually un usable) but i would live with that for a few months to have the market upgraded as fast as CHi Town. lol backhaul delays yeah right...If sprint lit fire under them they would get things done they way they did in chicago..Its all business and unfortunatly they are working at their own speed. More billable hours i guess.

Got LTE in Dumbo by the waterfront on Sunday. 2 bars ~3 MB/s down.

 

To be honest the 3 MB/s down felt like 70 because I've been so used to my ridiculously slow "3G".

 

I know that feeling , I remember when I first got LTE , it was amazing super fast & reliable loved it. My 3G experience has been getting better I must say. Speeds are consistant & usable to some extent , im enjoying it .

All the switching from 3G to 2G to LTE is killing my battery... Anyone have any suggestion to saving battery while we wait for NV to stabilize?

 

I turn off data in general since I mostly text and use areas with wifi. I turn data back on from time to time.

I leave LTE off until needed. Luckily, with my ROM there's no need to restart. I know TouchWiz needs to.

I don't really get a steady signal in my house. But as of a week ago, I got no signal at all, which says that their are more LTE towers coming in!

I feel like the downtikt must have been adjusted near my house because I walk the sake way to the train station everyday and recently I have been picking up weak LTE signals. On the map, the LTE tower is so close to my home yet the signal drips off so quickly.

Maybe it's being optimized?

A little nasal decongestant will clear that right up.

Awesome! Nothing solid around my house yet. Only weak signals 110+ dB. Other than that I had the most pleasant LTE experience on my commute this morning and this afternoon on the 4 train. Solid speeds from 170th to Bedford Park. :-)

 

There's some decent signal on the 161st 4 train platform too. It just needs to reach up the block to my apartment now. Lol

Same with me. My signal is in the -100's indoors but outdoors it is in the -90's. I could only imagine my signal if I had one if those Galaxy devices or iPhone.

Would the RF antenna make that much of a difference in the iPhone 5 or Galaxy 3/Note?

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
