I know! Kind of reminds me how those T-Mobile Faux-G users post their screenshots of 17Mbps speedtests with pings in the high thousands.

Its funny that you mention that, my buddy just recently got a Nexus 4 on Tmobile, and he gets decent speeds (5mb-15mbsec) but his pings are 150ms+, and a side by side comparison indoors i saw between 5mb-10mbsec but my pings were 35-60ms and the difference was clear browsing and streaming etc..Also on a side note, outdoors around my place i get between 15-35mb sec, his levels out around 15-20mb sec with about the same pings mentioned above.

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

My friend went to Coney Island and he wasn't able to connect to the LTE he's had a GS III any idea what's going on?

Ive seen a couple of occasions that people have LTE disabled in the settings, also tell them to try and cycle airplane mode on and off to refresh the radio while at a confirmed LTE location (hopefully the tower is still enabled)

My lowest Tmo HSPA+ pings are 150-200ms. They are most often 200-500ms. Sometimes they are 900-1200ms. I once had a 16Mbps DL on Tmo with a 1000ms ping. That just blows your mind.

For some reason that first step to receive packets on HSPA+ is almost always delayed, once it got going it was fine. Pandora or Netflix streaming was almost instant to start on mine and almost always delayed on his.

Yeah I noticed that as well. But usual ping I'm getting 50 ms but sometimes goes to around to 250. The one thing I have noticed though about hspa+ is that the connection is very consistent once it initalizes.

Wow! Looking at sensorly now and it looks like queens coverage is the same as Brooklyn.

 

I have driven pass all of the area that Sensorly is showing and noticed that some are not showing LTE. Seems like on street level, you hardly get any LTE signal but up on high floors, you will get LTE signal. That just tells me that it's a tower far away. It could just be one tower that is being picked up on high floors. But it's still progress. Hope the cold weather doesn't slow things down too much.

Has work in other boroughs like manhattan momentarily paused? Just wondering because there has been no progress there. Maybe it has to do with actually getting permisable access to rooftops because its a really dense area with lots of towers?

 

I would think that manhattan would take the longest.

Whoa, LTE is in my area....but still a few miles away from me, although it's of little use to me considering I have an iPhone 4S. I just hope NV continues creeping south.

 

These sloth-like data speeds need to end, once and for all.

not sure either he has a GS III and I told to airplane mode maybe shutting it down and turning it back on. And nothing he was where the dark purple indicated strong LTE.

I'll double check lte again when I get back to brooklyn tomorrow. Maybe the turned lte off for that area as it's probably still in the testing phase. But I was getting pretty decent speeds when connected about 10mbps down and 3mbps up

I just looked, and based on the sensorly map, the same seems to be true for lower Westchester county...

 

It stops being true when you get into the adjacent markets. No LTE at the sites listed this way in Long Island, North Jersey, Upstate NY East and Southern Connecticut.

      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....
