Low pings definitely have nothing to do how overloaded the tower is. Was in Yankee stadium and doing a speed test, I got 66ms. I think that's good enough proof

Yeah, thats one thing that people dont give sprint enough credit for, yes peak speeds are not as fast as some of the competitors, but ping times are almost always faster than any other carrier!

Its finally happened!!!! Sprint overtook Tmobile on Netindex in Manhattan!!     Next...Verizon!!

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 know t-mobile has high pings. Do U know what AT&T and verizon avg ping on their LTE is?

From what ive seen, they tend to be 70+ on both carriers from my personal experience. While right this moment from inside my home im getting 35ping 7mb down and up.

70ms isn't all that bad. But 35ms is crazy good! Btw I'm finally getting LTE in my house and its with 2 bars, but its consistent.

I think sprints slight ping advantage might have something to do with all the new fancy equipment just being more in the up and up and the way they optimize there stuff, rather than signal strength.

Could be the equipment. As soon as 800 data start and we have compatible phones, we will be able to extend signal strength, use better indoors and still have the same great low pings. This is where sprints investment to buy Nextel will pay off! Just a few years later! :)

Pretty exciting prospects!

Optimize where? Huh?

Sprint is definitely going in the right direction! But if they ditch truly unlimited data, they are done!

In the current state of the network, and the high volume of complaints, it would definitely cause a huge uproar to stop offering the unlimited plan. But, once LTE is fully deployed and we have great coverage, I think all options will be on the table. Here's hoping that the Softbank deal doesn't fall through, they are known to be extremely competitive!

You say once LTE is fully deployed and have a network similar to verizon, they can start going to tier data? No, at that point, their campaign would be " use the most reliable network as much as u want wherever u want, same low price!"

It would be awesome! if this were the case! But i think the reality lies somewhere in the middle (maybe throttling for abusers)

What would u consider abusing the network? I am definitely on sprint for the unlimited data. I admit their are months that I don't use even 2gb of data. Their are months that I use 5-10gb. I would say using 25gb or more starts abuse. I know 1 Netflix movie is close to 2gb. What does everyone else think?

I personally tend to avg about 5-12gigs of data a month, with the network in its current state (I would say I have LTE in about 40% of the places I go, and I am a somewhat heavy user) So my usage will probably climb another 30-40% once coverage is sorted. So I think anything over 30gigs a month would be rare, and should probably be considered abuse.

I do a lot of streaming when I have LTE and have time, so I wouldn't have any issue doing 20gb without trying! Would u feel after 30gb it would be fair for us to get throttled?

Extended LTE ? I've seen this on my phone before .

 

Extended LTE not possible at this time. Extended on the iPhone means your roaming. U can roam with verizon and use data, but only 3G at this time

Are we sort of learning or we r still clueless? :)

We somehow find ways to understand each other! But I concur, if Señor digiblur has something to add about sprints very good ping times, it would be greatly appreciated.

Btw, just for the reference we are as of now the most discussed thread on this forum. Yes NYC is that big.

Quantity definitely does not equal quality in this case.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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?
