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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By RedSpark · Posted

      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....

      Welcome back! That's similar to my best (1250ish). A few people have broken 2000 on good sites.

      I’m surprised they’re running a 5x5 Band 66 carrier still. In NYC T-Mobile has 25x25 AWS and they’re running 20x20 Band 66 and 5x5 n66 (in testing). Presumably when n66 commercially launches they’ll drop Band 66 down to 15x15 and go straight for a 10x10 n66 carrier like they did with n25.

      Austin has now narrowed B2 to 15x15 to support a second 10x10 n25 channel, this time entirely in PCS A-F. So T-Mobile now has 35x35 FD (n71 + n25) and 180 MHz TD (n41) NR live here, and LTE single carrier bandwidth now tops out at 15x15. LTE is down to 5x5 B12, 15x15 B2, 10x10+10x10+5x5 B66, so they now have 5 carriers each of LTE and NR, with 45x45 total LTE.
