i get an average 5 Mbps down at Union Sq, i dont know how to get dbm to show on iphones but i'd only get 1 bar on LTE if that matters...

One dot , lml & you put this (*3001#12345#*) code into the phone app, this will bring you to the engineering screen i think its called that, from there you hold down the lock button until the slide to power off comes *don't turn it off*

Hold the home button down until the screen flashes back to the home screen. If it doesn't work the first time do it again . The dbm will appear where the dots are tap it to make the dots re appear

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

You guys remember that LTE I said I got in Elmont. Well i've been getting it more frequently like on a daily basis. The signal is weak, I get 1-2 Dots very unstable. I ran a speed test & the ping was over the 100s download was below 1mbps & upload was non existent lol. I think im connecting to a tower from the next town over or from Queens im not sure tho.

4g has been very slow these past few months especially on the d train line in Brooklyn, around 1 to 2 mbps at most, sometimes I won't even be able to connect to 3g or 4g at all....

Guys is this good or bad news?

 

"Sprint’s no longer interested in bidding on a block of airwaves that would double the capacity of its LTE network. Instead its looking for greener pastures in which to build its future 4G bandwidth."

Not a huge deal. Sprint can still allocate more of it's PCS spectrum to LTE as more people shift from 3G to LTE. Plus with 800 and TD-LTE (Spark), they've got plenty of capacity to go around.

On what parts of the line are you testing. Some parts are underground and other parts are in a trench. Unless you are at ground or above ground level I would not expect stellar service.

OMG! I went to the Sprint store on 34th and got to play with the new tri-band devices. I almost died! The One Max is beautiful. The only reason that I was turned off from the Nexus 5 was that there is no TD-LTE support yet.

 

O was also surprised that the sales rep knew what he was talking about when he spoke about Spark and such. He claimed that the G2, Nexus 5, and One Max were actually selling the best. He said that I can't go wrong with any of the Spark devices.

      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....
