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

I have very little doubt they can get them up and running by middle of october, considering the speed they have deployed the rest, I also expect a ton more activity, the plan is to deploy over 2000 small cells in NYC.

wow i guess Sprint is really focusing on cities. Kinda how t-moible was at one point. The good thing about focusing on cities now is it allows for them to be future proof the network. For the next 5-10 years the network will be expandable by having B41 CA and turning on more carriers as needed.  Once all the cities are done they can focus on coverage connecting the cities and more rural areas.

 

Also any chance you saved a high resolution copy of that picture before it was taken down?

It's honestly amazing how fast Sprint has been with upgrades. Small cells left & right, I was even told that in 60 days GMO LTE should go live. What a time to have unlimited data.

 

Thankfully in our market we do not have that many GMO sites, Jersey has though.

Its tough to drop to 3G in NYC. you have to be deep indoors or in tunnels etc...

 

I travel throughout 4 boroughs and only used 2mb of 3G vs 29GB of LTE in a months time.

Good New York is not a market where they should lose LTE or signal in places the others don't

Rural areas are low priority.

I haven't been to SI in about 5 years unfortunately, So there's that. My experience is mostly from Manhattan, Queens, BK and the Bronx. Also some limited travels to Yonkers, Scarsdale and Long island.

This month it was about 27mb of 3G, im actually surprised its that high...

Interesting.  While I do not care to see such high "unlimited" data usage, the stats are interesting, nonetheless.  Even at such high overall data usage, your CDMA2000 data usage is under one percent, pointing to almost 100 percent LTE attachment.  And your roaming data usage is zero.  Fabian would be displeased, as he is convinced that in market roaming on VZW has skewed Sprint's RootMetrics scores.  He needs to see more in market roaming from you.

Took a quick look at my SCP logs and found that I have connected to about 22 small cells. 

 

Just an FYI for those that want to identify them on SCP they start with 012Ax. 

012A,0129,012D so you may have connected to much more than 22

I just did the math for my own usage and it put me at being on LTE 97% of the time. And that includes my traveling from NYC to Boston on I-95 and I-84. If it were not for the small blips of no LTE in "Middle-of-Nowhere, CT", I'd probably be at near 100% too. Also 0MB of roaming here too.

Well, LTE attachment and data usage can be two different metrics. The skeptics/trolls would assert that you were connected to "3G" more often than the stats would appear to show -- Sprint "3G" is so slow that, of course, you used little data. That hinges upon an assumption. It could be true or false, depending upon whether you altered your data usage behavior while not on LTE.

That's not that much, I should find the link where I did 52 gigs on 3g back in 2010

Looks like second carrier B25 is finally in swing in Manhattan. Went to the heartland brewery had dinner in the lower level (which happens to be below ground floor) and connected to B25 second carrier and it balanced between first and second carrier pretty well.

 

Speeds were good, between 8-15mb. Very nice to see this working well deep indoors.

 

Edit: this one was located under the Empire State Building.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
