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.

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)

he did that and he has it on LTE mode

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.

I live in coney island and I mapped the area from bay Parkway 86th St down coney island near the train station and lte is still up right now. Don't know why ur friends couldn't connect to it.

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.

I'm not sure about resetting on this site, but you can generate a link and attach it here to post with dropbox

    • 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.
    • 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.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
