Paynefanbro Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Queens and SI seem to be the only boroughs that don't have as much NV work as the other boroughs. How has wrk been in the Bronx. There hasn't been much talk about them for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCHitman1 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Is anyone here still getting slow 3G in NYC? 3G is pretty solid on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyNYC1 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Sprints 3G has always been slow! I left from sprint two weeks ago cause of that. NV is taking way to long to be completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame you. When NV is finished and done, that's when anyone should decide to come back. The upgrades are killing me. Having spotty and poor coverage due to upgrades are normal these days and you would be lucky to be in the parts of the city where there is LTE. Sensorly is accurate up to a certain point. There are spots that had LTE and was mapped but are no longer getting that signal due to adjustments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are spots that had LTE and was mapped but are no longer getting that signal due to adjustments. using sprint for 7 train ride from queensboro plaza to Flushing is a joke now. half of the time the phone has 4g signal but the signal is coming from very far away with worse than -120dbm. turning off the 4g doesn't really help because 3g signal is very poor due to tower being down because of NV. at least in Flushing, the 4g is very good since there are five towers live with 4g and I have pretty good speed at home. the quarterly report from sprint showed 643 million dollar loss with loss of 560,000 contracts, but with significant improvements on net loss from previously quarterly report. the loss of contracts are due to Nextel sites going down. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323789704578442454292712928.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is... everywhere but Queens, S.I. and Lower Manhattan is getting less spotty. Living example right here as I live and work and visit places where LTE doesn't exist. But it will be better in a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deval Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 It will get better at the end of this year, probably sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyNYC1 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 What do you have now ? I left to T-Mobile and got the iPhone 5 with them. Which i can be unlocked to use in the US. I returned my iPhone 5 to sprint and they waived my cancellation fee. T-mobile will have LTE in NYC by mid June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QWIKSTRIKE Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 All I can say is that I am starting to get LTE signal on and off in my home in the Bronx. Most places I go has LTE in the city, and since I bought my p[hint to talk LTE is a bonus for 10.00 more.....wTF I can understand people wanting to down load a beak neck speeds, but to go pay more for it makes me wonder WTF the gripe is all about .....but then again I don't need to have the fasted down loads as long as I can make and receive text and calls at a fair price. The last time that I checked Verizon's cheapest plan is 90.00 for 300 minutes and 1gig of LTE usage......man people are loaded, desperate or stupid....pick one.Sprint will be a leader by the end of next year any one leaving for a "QWIK" fix today will be locked into slow ass high priced contracts else ware, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaNa_Ch!LL Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Sister is in Puerto Rico for the weekend. She's enjoying her LTE over there. She's annoyed that she has LTE there but not at her home in Queens. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some BRS TDD-LTE seems to be in order for gatherings like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some BRS TDD-LTE seems to be in order for gatherings like that. Actually it took me quite a few times to get the app to even start doing the test! This was considered good! It gets me nervous what will happen if people hog the bandwidth around NYC! Can they add more speed to more populated areas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
