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

Either way, it's a minor win that she came from Verizon.

 

...and now the world... *evil triangle of contemplation*

 

Anywho, LTE seems to have settled and coverage is okay west of Webster ave. :-)

 

Haha so so true

Since Evdo works in clusters, it varies. Most places that have LTE on air have Evdo update.

 

Yes, but in a lot of areas that have LTE onair, they are surrounded by legacy sites.

 

Case in point, Sunnyside, NY. I was walking along Queens Blvd yesterday between 39th and 40th street, and saw LTE, connected to it, and when I walked indoors, where it should have switched, the phone held onto the LTE signal longer and my data didn't work.

By the way, prl 51096 got pushed to my iPhone. Probably something insignificant compared to 51095 right?

 

I looked at one of the revisions and it was one change pushing Carolina Wireless down in scan priority.

Did you get a chance to see your signal strength? I've seen excellent indoor performance until about -104dBm where i wish it would switch back to 3G.

I didn't check, was just randomly looking at my phone while walking around.

 

I'll check today when I get off at Lowery.

That's why I love my EVO LTE. That weaker radio actually helps. My Dad's Note 2 was on LTE and getting extremely slow speeds but my EVO was on NV 3G and I was getting faster speeds than him. The Note 2 refuses to let go of LTE in my house whereasy phone will let go around -120dbm.

So for those who have LTE onair nearby, how's the handoffs between LTE and EVDO?

 

Hand off between LTE and evdo is pretty good. I was at dyker golf course yesterday in brooklyn streaming the golf masters tournament it was switching between 3g n 4g on and off but the stream was pretty good and fast enough on 3g

That is the exact same issue I'm having with the iPhone 5 and my iPad at my girl's house in Sunnyside. She gets a very weak LTE signal so my device ends up connecting to it.

 

Thankfully I'm always on WIFI there, so I don't have any issues.

Ah, okay thanks.

 

Handoffs between LTE and EVDO has been mixed for me. I take the same route on my way to class and back home 5 days a week and usually around the same times in the mornings and afternoons. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.

 

Lately 3G has been pretty decent outside at least so from time to time I actually turn LTE off.

I think significant parts of the Upper West Side have lte but are unmapped on Sensorly. Anyone on the forums have an android device who can spend some time mapping there? I walked up Broadway from 66th to 76th with lte.

 

Also just received a brief period of lte on 50th and 7th this morning.

This is a really good indoor lte speed! Last Friday I noticed my connection stretched all of the way into my apartment. It used to only connect if I held my phone against the Window. :P An obvious improvement lol

 

These speeds are equal to verizons lte speeds. My mom has Verizon after she gave up on sprint 5 years ago. Sometimes sprint's faster! Anyway, very happy with the improvement.

      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....
