I believe I did that, but I'll re-install it and give it a go. Can you do me a favor and get me a zoomed screenshot of the completed towers in the Rye / Port Chester area (no, I'm not a sponsor, sorry)? I can't stop in the middle of the highway, and I'm not exactly sure where that was as I was on my way home.

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'm sorry. I cannot do that. Our other Sponsors would not appreciate that.

Sprint is moving very slow. This is very frustrating. In certain areas in the Bronx you have LTE in other area you don't. What's the hold up.? Smh

 

Sprint is not actually doing the work. They hired AlcatelLucent, who then has hired sub-contractors to do the actual work. There are many reasons that work could have started late in your market, and I know it's going slow, but with time and patient, you will see results soon. AlcatelLucent has been further behind in Network Vision work in general as well.

The holdup is that they are working on over 100 other cities at the same time so it's gonna take some time, especially with the number of sites there are in New York.

What customer service tells you may not be true. Some reps tell you something they just made up. Sprint told me that WiMax would come to my small town just outside of Las Vegas, and it never did. What you find on this site and even now on Sensorly is more accurate than what you could ever get out of Sprint customer service.

network.sprint.com was put in place to show customers the upgrades they are doing to help the legacy network function until Network Vision would be complete. Whether they use it for Network Vision later down the road or not, no one knows yet, is up to them. However, it has a 12 month rolling window of time, past 6 months and next 6 months, so there are some things that appear to never leave the list.

There is no hold up. Work has has occurred at over one hundred sites in the the boroughs and Westchester. Things are progressing nicely. The one live site in the Bronx is probably because of a site left on by a tech after testing. Not because it is the only site converted in the metro.

 

You will see more and more testing signals in the next week or two pop up all over the place. Some may be temporary and go away. Some may stay on permanently. However, it will not be too long before Sprint prelaunches portions of the market or maybe even most of it.

 

Prelaunch will not provide 100% coverage, but it will allow customers to connect to all the completed LTE sites to date.

I was up their today it would show LTE on my iphone with 2 bars of signal but then go back to 3G it wouldn't stay on LTE

it was consistent on my galaxy. I stayed on Hoe ave for 30 mins testing LTE. My speeds wasn't as fast as Bruke Ave. I got 10 down and 3 up. It was consistent. Edited by Aprilgrl920

I went to Hoe avenue today to test LTE and it was very spotty. I was excited to see the 4g icon, but I couldn't even finish a speed test. It would start at LTE and finish the speed test in 3G. It's not ready for prime time, but hopefully it's a sign of what's to come.

 

 

For reference: I'm on a Galaxy S3 running JellyBomb 4.3 Jellybean leak.

      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....
