Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

[nexgencpu]

Last night on MetroNorth from Tremont to Harlem, I got 63 down near 149th/Park, and 79 down near Harlem/125th.  It was simply amazing.  I'm even getting B41 CA *INSIDE* my school, when before I was stuck on EVDO or 1X.  Really getting excited/happy with this progress.

 

 

 

One thing I've noticed is that when connected to certain Sprint B41 CA sites over the past few days, I have <1 Mbps down, and ping times >250ms.  I'm confident it's temporary based on the other amazing progress happening, but it is odd.

Same thing I had, its now epically fast!

Watching all the CA sites get tuned and coming online is a thing of beauty! Midtown all the way uptown and most of the Bronx have CA live. Speeds are spectacular, now besting T-mobile in most places.

 

 

Side note: About 70% of Sprint and about 40% of the Clear sites that I've logged have second carrier live. 

 

Average speeds hover between 25-35mbs with peaks around 100mbs.

Y'all are definitely lucky

Is anyone in NYC working on a master map of all the sites? I'm in NYC for the week and wanted to share my logs if you guys are compiling them. I'm mostly in Orange County and Manhattan this week.

 

Orange County has a lot of 2nd carrier b41 sprint sites.

 

Let me know where to send logs or if I should just post them here.

Eventually almost every site would get it, so I'm not sure anyone would work on a master list.

It would have been cool to do it, but considering the site density, one would have their hands full. Would be very tough to keep it updated.

Have not connected to Clear's second carrier in a few days. I'm guessing they are sorting out some issues still.

 

Has anyone connected to clear 2nd carrier the last couple of days?

[markjcc]

How long did the second carrier take to fire up after the WiMax shutdown? 1 day, 2 days?

Still connecting fine to the sites that were down and new sites with second carrier on line after  I've come across in the surrounding areas. Rarely travel outside of the bx mostly in Westchester but that is my experience thus far.

About 2 weeks from shut down to noticing a another carrier live after here in the NYC market. There was prep before the sites went live with another carrier days before that though as well. But where you are located may be different.

Just connected to a couple Clear second carriers, it looks like they are still working out the bugs on certain sites.

 

I notice I get forced to B26 from certain sites. Its definitely more stable than it was just last week.

That does not confirm it, but it does mean you have 2nd carrier live.

 

Depending on your device, you can confirm by going into your engineering screen.

 

But judging by the speed/signal I'd say yes it is live.

As nexgencpu posted above, the ^2 only indicates the second carrier is active. It does not tell you anything in regards to CA. However, B41 2nd carrier and CA generally go live at the same time, so chances are, yes CA is live.

Previously broadcasting or just coming online I'm shocked it was so underloaded!

I'm not sure how long its been online. Two things to take into account, Its early during the day and its mostly residential area, not that many folks walking around 10am. Also, speedtest.net could only muster 104mbs and speedtest varied wildly depending on server. Nperf has much less utilized servers, and that's how I achieved 126mbs.

Really want to ditch work right now and hop on the Bx36 to see this, haha.

one more site running on 76st and Roosevelt Ave

^ Nice. I may have to test that tomorrow at Elmhurst Hospital.

Looks like CA is being enabled faster than I thought. Below are the results from W55 st and 6th Ave in Manhattan. I used to get less than 1MB on B41 during lunch hours.

Speed test from yesterday's Clear site..

 

First screen shot shows the speed test on the bottom.. 126.70 down/ 11.69 up

 

[Deval]

I picked up a faint second B41 carrier at Bryant Park yesterday on 6th ave, couldn't stay connected long enough to run a test but that was promising.
