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.

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

Actually someone found out in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus forum that the iOS Sensorly app will map speed test results. I've tried it and now my house is a yellow dot

That's amazing. It probably was able to add mapping when iOS 8 came out with that extensibility feature.

It's not what I was talking about. 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.

To map a speed test result, it just needs access to your location. Pretty sure iPhones have been able to do that for some time.

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.

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.

you should definately review the new york thread, that is where you will find the most appropriate information and feedback.

What parts of nyc do you work, live and play in? Overall huge improvement but some neighborhoods are still improving.

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 :D

I really like your idea. I had not thought of that. I might just do what you suggested. 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.

I may be wrong, but I think the 30 day trial ended. I think it is back to 14 days.

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.

Can someone interpret this for me

 

 

Sorry if this is a stupid question... but I've had iPhones for years and I can't figure out how to get into Field Test while on a phone call. Enlighten me please? ;)

      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?
