I don't think there is anything wrong with speaking their frustration on the slow deployment. I don't see it as complaining but showing their frustration and to hear from other NYC users. To me it seems like you are complaining and frustrated.

 

He is frustrated.  At people who troll S4GRU.  I don't think there is a difference between complaining and airing your frustrations.

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

Although Sprint does not have LTE everywhere in the city, I have a great experience on their network. I have LTE 70% of the time. The whole 60 Mbps thing is a silly comment because absolutely no carrier has 60Mbps on average. LTE is going to be great in some places and better in others, and that is going to be the case for any carrier. We all know what Sprint is and is not doing. Complaining or "airing out frustration" is not going to make a difference and definitely comes off as trolling a little bit and that's not okay. We are all here to learn.

pslee said "AS OF NOW". I agree with that. Spark isn't widely available in NYC yet either. I haven't heard from anyone here saying they are getting 60Mbps every where in NYC. I think I saw 1 person mention getting Spark one or 2 times. I took a look at the maps and still don't see any improvement in financial district or most of northeastern Queens. By far, the worst and I would stop anyone from getting Sprint as of now as well. 2015, could be different but not right now. And not especially for those who want and need iPhones.

 

I was in Sunnyside and averaging 30+ on Spark, same goes for Midtown.

 

The fact that people base their carriers on the maximum speed (which has a long list of environmental reasons as to how that speed was achieved), instead of doing a complete needs analysis is sad.

I just looked at the Clearwire/WiMax maps in the Premier Sponsor section for the first time in a while. To find out that my neighborhood was covered in Band 41 goodness since May was a shock!!! I can't wait to get my hands on a Spark device.

 

Just so everyone knows, Spark is all over the place in the city, the chances of you having Spark in your area are pretty high!

When you are able to move up to the Premier level, you will get some great Spark (Band 41 LTE) site maps.   :tu:

When I was in NY last year my service was sprint was really good. A lot of places I was getting faster data than my friend who has verizon. My speeds were better both 3G and lte.

 

- has transit wireless started deploying sprint mini towers in the subway yet?

I'm sure they've started, however they are not live yet. It's supposed to happen sometime in the first quarter of this year. They have until March 31st, but I am sure they'll have it up by then. However, I do roam on Verizon in the tunnels, so Verizon's Transit Wireless thing being complete, helps with Sprint anyway.

Verizon is already done with theirs? Jesus

Looking in as a third person, Sprint is the worst carrier in the NYC as of now. I advise against anyone to switch to sprint at this point. things might change in the future, but AS OF NOW, sprint is the worst carrier in NYC without any hesitation. 

Really? You need to at least provide your reasoning.

Im a little sad. It's been a whole year and a half since Sprint started it's roll and I still don't have LTE in my town. Not a stable signal at least. I don't understand why Sprint can't just upgrade the two towers that govern my area. :'( WAA

They are the lowest priority, or located in a town that doesn't want to play ball.

 

Best suggestion is to move.

      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....
