Could it have been some mishap with prepping for 3xCA?

Ideally it would be nice if they were doing some major Network software upgrades and a simply say we're going to rip the Band-Aid off and get this done. But we won't know until the network comes back online.

could this be prep for a second b25 5x5 carrier or even 10x10?

I'm uncertain simply because I don't think Sprint has done any Band 25 second carrier work at this scale yet. Usually it's done by city or in sections of a market, not a whole region.

Back to Legacy 3G. Haven't seen these speeds in a couple of years  :).

 

319ms?!  I'd love that right now!  Presently pulling an impressive 2.4 seconds on pings.  Seconds... not milliseconds.  :)

So I have LTE again, but Sprint's DNS servers are down, so the connection is pointless.  Should be back up any time now, I'm guessing.

 

Edit: I'm in the Bronx right now south of Fordham Plaza.

You should be fine in Hoboken as well. Lower Manhattan is a little tougher on Sprint, will be honest with you, but Midtown is fine.

Well I took the plunge and been on Sprint for 2 full days now. LTE in Brooklyn is very good. About 25mbps, not as fast as the 30-35 I was getting with t-mobile but still very respectable. At my job in Hoboken is a different story all together, jumps between 3G to LTE alot and even on LTE the speed is much slower, around 3-4mbps according to speed tests. I'm assuming CA hasnt hit here yet. Luckily I use my work computer for most of my internet needs during the day so its not a huge deal but definitely disappointing.

What area in Hoboken? There are a couple of sites there but I think only one or two have CA, and the rest should be getting them soon.
