I'm getting weird B41 speeds. My upload seems normal I'm getting around 10-15mbps, it's the download that's bothering me. It's like stuck below 3mbps. I'll start the speed test, it'll spike to like 6 and then slowly it goes down to 2.5 and it just stays there. What's up with that? Lol

I've had that happen several times. It's the server. Change it to another one in settings.

Are you talking about the Speedtest Server? Or something else?

Yes. When you're getting strange speedtest results, changing the server usually fixes it.

Has anyone else noticed faster ping times? My pings used to range from 45-60ms. Recently, or at least since the release of the iPhone, my LTE ping times have dropped significantly. Under 40ms in most cases. The other day I had a ping of 27ms and it surprised me. I thought it was a fluke but when I tested it again, my ping read 29ms.

Funny that you mention that, but my last 4 test on B25 have been sub 30ms.

Today along, I've only gone above 40ms once. Today my pings ranged from 23ms (in the train station) to 35ms at Grand Central. Sprint must be doing something on the backend.

I haven't started getting pings that low. Hope this is a part of optimization

Seems like b41 speeds are going down the drain lately.. can barely get over 5 mbps.. reminds me of wimax

They definitely are toying with the backhaul.

 

They will return back to normal. I have seen it happen for a few weeks then back to normal.

May have been a change with the backhaul provider, or a core upgrade, or possibly a new core to help handle all the traffic.

For some reason at work im stuck on a packed b25 when b41 is available. Once i go outside its fine but these b25 speeds are terrible. Like sub 1mb/s. This is at foley square/city hall.

so I put two and two together... 2 of the sites for Rigewood upgrade are on buildings that are awaiting constructions for years or on a building thats next to a proposed apartment complex which can obstruct signals.... but also in areas where I believe backhaul which we suspect to be VERIZON??  isnt avaiable... what now?

Verizon hasn't been the best in terms of backhaul. A site by Brooklyn College had been NV 3G accepted for nearly a year. Finally it was B25 accepted but for a long time and wasn't broadcasting Band 25 at all. 3G speeds reflected legacy backhaul. Luckily Clear Band 41 was in the area broadcasting from the same site. Sometime in December it finally went B25 live.

    • Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!
    • That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.
    • 417.55 MB September security update just downloaded here for S24+ unlocked   Edit:  after Sept security update install, checked and found a 13MB GP System update as well.  Still showing August 1st there however. 
    • T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.  
    • Still nothing for my AT&T and Visible phones.
