nexgencpu Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 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.

nexgencpu Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexgencpu Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 he did that and he has it on LTE mode Tell him to also install Sensorly so he can pinpoint where the LTE has been mapped and also help map more as well when it does become available.

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.

Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keitarou Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 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.

NaNa_Ch!LL Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 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.

Sonic13 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Wow! Looking at sensorly now and it looks like queens coverage is the same as Brooklyn. 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. Edited January 22, 2013 by Sonic13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTEBrooklyn Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I still think that the rate it's going on, it's going to take a while, but if at the end of the day, the speeds and the density is solid all around and it stays unlimited, I think we will be just fine.

kwazytazz Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 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? 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.

And nothing he was where the dark purple indicated strong LTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyNYC1 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 check this map out of the upgrades going on in NYC https://network.sprint.com/NY/New-York/ I noticed that the towers that say 2 Speed upgrades have LTE on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked, and based on the sensorly map, the same seems to be true for lower Westchester county... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
