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

Except for that brief moment when I was near Yankee Stadium on Saturday morning I haven't had any issue with LTE this weekend. It's actually fine for me in Queens (Hillcrest, Rego Park, Ozone Pk, South Ozone park, Elmhurst.)

Well I'm glad to hear it's not only me and that it appears to be a larger issue.  I'm wondering if there's some deeper issue they're working on that has prevented their official launch of LTE here... because let's face it, we have a lot of coverage for a non-launched place.

Is there anyway I could prioritize smr over pcs or will I have to wait for a new prl? Also I think I'm on band 25, that's what enginerring screen said, so I assume that's pcs?

 

I don't think waiting will change anything as this seems to be what they want for the Iphone.

My 3G has been problematic here in downtown Manhattan again... I'm starting to get fed up with this and are at a point to cancel and pay the ETF... in places where there is LTE, I am fine but just simple messaging apps are having hard time sending messages here because internet connection is on and off.

Well LTE in Manhattan is a different story. It is spotty at best, at least with me. But then again I try to avoid Manhattan as much as possible anyway. But for the other boros, Its been consistent. 

 

Maybe it's the weather today? Or the Nextel shutdown? The bird strikes? Who knows. I'm sure it will get fixed soon enough.

"Why would anyone want to limit the iPhone?  We don't."

 

Ah, but Sprint does limit it -- basically, keeping it off of CDMA1X 800.  Tuff nutz, iPhoners.

 

 

:P

Don't want to sound like I am complaining although I might be complaining... but it's been like this since last week. I know there isn't LTE here where I am working so I don't even bother having LTE on. But the 3G has been on and off. I don't care about fast speed since I know 3G is poor in places without NV but I just want it to stay connected so I don't have to see it not sent and have to airplane mode to get my connection back.

 

Sorry to all of you following this tread and having to deal with my rantings.

They won't launch because something like, on 28% of the towers have LTE accepted. Sprint announces a marker around 40%. It'll take a bit more before we see them announce NYC. Though there will be no difference in performance, only the ability to call in about LTE towers in your neighborhood.

40% pops coverage, not 40% tower completion. There's a difference.

i am just wondering when 800/1900/2500mhz LTE capable phones will release this year. I guess Q4 this year? I really might trade in my note 2 to note 3 if that happens.

I believe we're expecting Q3 or Q4. Shouldn't be too far away at this point.

LG and Samsung announced that they would have a tri-band LTE smartphone available on Sprint later this year. The prevailing assumption/rumor is that the note 3 will be tri-band as well as LG's next Optimus G itteration. I'm actually holding off renewing my contract until a triband phone is available.

That is correct, they share the space up top of the M bldg with Verizon. Unfortunately, they arrived shortly before I normally leave but they told me today was testing. The site has been broadcasting LTE for maybe a month plus now, only usable from the 5th floor. I will add to the map on sensorly when available.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      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.
