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

With all of the new 4G sites showing, I'm surprised Sensorly hasn't been reflecting them yet. Wonder if the sites haven't been turned on yet.

 

Also, I have been on the phone constantly with Sprint because of towers that have been damaged since Sandy. Today I have been notified that they are rebuilding the two towers around me from scratch since they are total loses in the downtown Manhattan area. But the strange thing is, they don't think it will be the new NV upgraded towers. That makes no sense to me. Why waste money on rebuilding the towers the old way? Could they be mistaken/misinformed?

 

And on a side note, it's killing me that service around here has been terrible since Sandy and Sprint can't fix it for over two months. I'm not complaining, just frustrated. :(

From the way NV is looking, it seems like they move to one area and then scatter to the next. I guess the Bronx was an exception or at least it looks like that from sensorly. Do u happen to be in the east side of manhattan?

 

Or maybe they are just testing LTE in those areas and then pre- launch it in the area which might be very spotty.

Lol in the Bronx they are testing boro wide. I somehow think based on the way it's been going, if u look on the map the Bronx is on the top, then manhattan in the middle there and Brooklyn on the bottom. That's how the sensorly map is showing the coverage. So it looks predictable. After Brooklyn or maybe in the middle could be Staten Island and then queens.

Don't say that. Queens needs some love here. :)

 

I think they will just get the sites that they have access done and go that way. Let's just hope the sites that are 4G capable but not operating yet be turned on once NYC launches. I just want any kind of service in Downtown manhattan (east or west)

They have sites complete in Queens, Staten Island, Brooklyn and Manhattan. They are just getting to whichever sties are ready to be upgraded first. For whatever reason, the first cluster of sites ready was in the Bronx.

 

do you know where it queens?

Rt 9A Elmsford Ny site. Looks like all the panels have been installed.

How do you tell the difference between VZW and Sprint sites? They look the same to me. Should I look at the width if the three panels to tell the difference? :confused:

Good question. Not sure exactly what VZW panels look like to be honest. Im sure there are pics on this site somewhere. I do know that the site in pics is a Sprint only site. The larger panels are new NV, and the smaller panels are the old legacy, to be removed at a later date.

If I get slow data from a New vision cell site that means it still has the old backhual right?

 

If you're sure you're connected to the new site, yes, that means legacy backhaul.

Take a look at what I circled in the image. Those are usually good give-aways.

i am no expert in anything regarding setting up the towers for lte services but this seems very slow. it has been more than couple of weeks after the brooklyn tower lit up and i honestly do not see anymore updates on sensorly for the past 2-3 weeks.

There is a few more places that have LTE towers some they havent been mapped!! Become a sponsor so that you can be able to see the update map and see where those towers are at.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
