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.

    • 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....
