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

Would love if we had pictures of all types of legacy equipment so it would be easier for some of us to figure out.

 

Can't wait to see this site get upgraded though, it needs it. Same with the GMO in Eltingville.

Its somewhere on the site just can't seem to find it.

 

I'm sure Tim can shed some light on where to find it.

So was up food shopping at stew leonards around ridge hill, and picked up a cell site with band 26, 25, and 8T8R band 41. Only got band 26,25 in the market. Band 41 outside in the parking lot.

Great! Just need MIMO turned on over here at my cell site, plus a second b25 carrier wouldn't hurt :rasp:

4x MIMO will be limited to Sprint B41 sites. Sprint does not have enough spectrum in NYC to deploy a second B25 carrier without refarming. But from what I hear that should happen sometime in 2015.

My site currently is without standard MIMO still. SISO :( And probably next year following NV completion. Too much 3G holes in Staten Island still!

I'm pretty sure every Sprint site has 2xMIMO on by default.

 

I also know that the iPhone field test page is buggy and sometimes fails to report MIMO regardless if available or not.

I'm debating switching to Sprint.  I'm in Mamaroneck.  Anybody from the area care to comment about network, LTE availability?

 

Thanks!

I'm not from Mamaroneck but I took a look at a map for you.. Not looking too great for LTE unless they're using cell sites with great range. Do you work there or do you commute?

I work in Rye New York and there are LTE sites live but coverage is spotty. I'm not so sure how the coverage is in Mamaroneck but between rye and rye Brook there are band 25 and 26 carriers sites on broadcasting. But since it a different township can say for certain how coverage is. Will be back up that way Friday and can report.

Something is seriously up with my cell site. No consistency at all - getting 20Mbps sometimes, 12Mbps sometimes, right now at 10PM I'm getting 1Mbps. What exactly is going on here?

Is this a clear band41 tower? As two sites are down and have been down going for a month intermittently transmitting then not transmitting anything at all. Even if you can conzero there is zero throughput

It's a Sprint site, band 25 + 26. Link to the album of the site is in my signature. It used to be much more consistent (5Mbps-8Mbps during the day with occasional peaks to 15-20Mbps, 10Mbps+ at night), now it's just all over the place. Best part is it's been band 25 ready for a year and just started acting haywire this week. No idea what changed.

 

Did something different though - reported it in the Sprint Zone app, in the comments I added a link to the screenshot of my SpeedTest showing 1Mbps at 10PM when I live one block over. Hopefully somebody does something.

Almost certainly getting Sprint B41, there probably tuning it and playing with backhaul etc..

Im pretty sure it isnt, all Clear sites have been restored..

this isn't true. Onc has been down for about 2 weeks now and the site that I reported to forum before it is going on 6 weeks! It came back then went out again shortly after.

I had a list of about 20 sites that were down, all of them have been restored.

 

Also, he is saying that he is not connecting to B41, in our previous case we would connect to B41 and no data would transfer.

 

So a completely different situation.

      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....
