Paynefanbro Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 i think that may be a case where there was only band 41 around. This is at ceasers bay brooklyn. Band 26 has been good. A week ago I was at my brothers house and had solid 3 bars of band 26 in the basement. I noticed that last time I was at Caesar's Bay. I had Band 41 coverage indoors but no Band 25 or Band 26.

Palan Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'm on lunch at work and went to T-Mobile and art (city hall ) and did some speed tests. I had faster speeds then both. For all T-Mobiles talk it didn't go higher then 1mb download... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paynefanbro Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 how ? When you run a speedtest through the Sensorly app on Android it automatically populates the map with your data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatrandomguy Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 im on iOS so no go for me Actually someone found out in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus forum that the iOS Sensorly app will map speed test results.

It probably was able to add mapping when iOS 8 came out with that extensibility feature. Edited October 7, 2014 by IsaiahL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about the actual results that show up when you select it based upon connection type not just the heat map thing that shows yellow red or green.

Pretty sure iPhones have been able to do that for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wfmets45 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hello everyone: I was a Sprint customer from 2011-2013. I tried to ride off the storm but eventually could not stand the slow data speeds from Sprint so I paid the ETF and jumped over to at&t. Tremendous improvement. So now Sprint has been catching my attention with some great new deals and I am tempted to switch back but the main questions is: has Sprint improved? Is their data and calling much better? Are data speeds reliable and fast? I live in NYC and I would appreciate everyone's input. I don't want to switch and later regret it. Please be honest and don't trash Sprint either. I know they are still working on their network but I would switch back only if their network and data speeds have improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8nuguy Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Sprint in general is better and still improving. I would switch back or get a new number/line with sprint to try out for a week or two, if it doesnt work out, then return the phone and keep att. If it works great, then port your numbers over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kineticman Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I was in Manhattan for a few days last week and was very impressed with Sprint and in particular data performance on B41. Perhaps some of the other NYC members could chime in for your particular area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has!! I would do what gr8nuguy says, and do the trial period with a new phone number. Make sure it is a spark phone, which most of them are, I think you will enjoy the way sprint is going and it is only getting better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sprint now gives 30 days to return the phone and cancel your service rather than the 14 days that all the other carriers give. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nahum365 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 How will 8t8r help improve Sprint? Can someone please explain this.8t8r stands for 8 transmit 8 receive. The main advantage of 8t8r antennas is that the signal is usable closer to the edge of the service area. (There are other advantages, but I'm not sure of them.)This combined with the wide 20 mhz B41 carriers can provide average speeds around 50Mbps.
