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

I'm looking at note 2's

 

Awesome phone.. Have one local guy that switched from iphone5 to the note2 and he says he gets LTE and other coverage in more places. Plus it does sensorly to boot!

Is the antenna really that much stronger?

Dunno, I only have the S3 and EVO LTE to compare it to. Hands down just about any phone leaves the EVO LTE in the dust. And I hear the gnex is worse.. Wow.. Mapped a 10 mile LTE signal a couple weekends ago. 5 mile city site today. I always pick up another city site about 7 miles away for a little bit.

 

Another thing that sucks is the iPhone PRL has 800smr at low priority instead of the same as PCS.

I'm currently sitting in Chicago airport traveling for business and man is sprint sweet. LTE all over the airport great signal speed 4mbs down with -105 and just made my first call on 800smr. Calls are super clear (may just be placebo cuz I'm kinda excited lol...I have an hour before I leave on my connected flight so and I intend to kill off my battery...lol can't wait for this to hit NYC...

NYC will probably be like Chicago in late 2013 to early 2014.

 

For some reason I just don't get that excited when I see LTE on my phone anymore because almost everywhere I go, I have it. The feeling is not there anymore, but the speed is! I guess that's what counts.

I'm the exact opposite. Everywhere I go I have poor 3G. Hahaha Everywhere surrounding me, there is LTE. I am still excited to see LTE on my phone. That is when I happen to pass through those area's that have LTE.

When you lose LTE. That's when it gets really frustrating

I've noticed speeds dropping overtime now. What used to be 15+ Mbps download speeds are now around 2-6 in many areas. That's still very good speed and I'm not complaining. Just an observation of how the speeds would drop overtime as we already knew it would. I just didn't think it would happen this quickly. Maybe the speeds will pickup a bit once the gaps are filled.

How will that affect the speed once the gaps are filled? I think it's the same capacity.

My logic is that once there are more towers put up, there will be more sites to connect to. Therefore capacity at each tower will be less and the sites will be able to output higher speeds to devices.

 

As opposed to how it is now in many dense areas where there is only one LTE site in the middle and everyone is connecting to it.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong.

NYC won't be an issue for that.

0.5mbps isn't bad. At least around my apartment on a normal non-game day. Pings are low and with that speed it's pretty decent. Lol

Yeah , I find that if the Pings are low then it doesn't matter if ur speed is 1.50mbps ur speeds will still seem low . I remember before my phone got snatched I was running speedtesf the pings were in ghe 500's & the up & down were like .50mbps but the speeds seem sooo slow it took forever to load .

Quite the opposite. Low speeds like .5mbp and very low pings are better then 1.5 mbp and super high pings. ( at least for browsing)

I don't even think that is what makes nv complete. Prob after nv is done, that will be the next step

 

Nope, that's working in tandem. I was a cell site a few weeks back and saw the equipment already installed.

      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....
