I have a question. Why is that LTE always feels faster than my home wifi. I have Verizon FIOS 50/25 & its super fast, oddly enough when im connected to LTE with 10-20 it always feels faster.

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 anything over 10Mbps, you're not really going to notice a difference in the speeds unless you are downloading big files.

 

What does make a difference is the latency.

 

A high ping time can make Google Fiber seem slow. A low ping time can make a 5Mbps connection seem pretty fast.

 

Maybe the Sprint network is getting better latency than your home connection.

My ping at home is 10-15, my LTE ping is 30-70 but LTE still seems more snappier & faster.

Maybe it's in your head :) it's also possible the things you do at home and out when you have LTE are different, like where ping actually matters.

I forgot to post this yesterday, but this was done on my Aunt's GS3. This was done INSIDE of the Optimum Store on East 45th Street in Brooklyn.  

 

Has anyone ever gotten a ping this low on LTE? 

 

 

 

I've seen a couple of those, pretty awesome stuff..

Just started noticing today that my voice calls are connecting considerably quicker than It has been in the last year at my home. I have Google voice integration and have always chalked it up to that being the issue, but it's a pleasant surprise, also the quality of the calls sound quite GREAT from sprint to sprint! (HD VOICE!?)

Can I just say that the bars actually showing LTE signal is very gratifying. It is great for comparing LTE signal with other devices. i find that on all bars of LTE, I got 30Mbps, but around 2 bars I got the 6-8 that Sprint advertises. I might get a new device just to have one that actually shows the correct signal strength in bars.

I have gotten 22ms before. It's rare, but I guess it's a possibility

I was curious to how fluid Sprint LTE works in a completed market like New York.  In my area, every time I drive I constantly get kicked back to 3g, and some LTE signals are weak.  In a completed market how good does it work?

NYC isn't nearly completed. It's around 50% of the sites that have LTE now. I think that it won't be great until about 60% which is he launch amount for T-Mobile. At that density, LTE should be near ubiquitous and the sites will be CSFB capable, so the Nexus 5 and G2 should work perfectly.

 

I would say I have LTE 70% of the time in Brooklyn and 40% of the time in Manhattan. In a billing period, I use more LTE data than 3G if that means anything at all. The towers in NYC don't broadcast nearly as far as in other markets because a single site can have a quarter mile radius or less. It's all about density here and much ess, how far can it shoot a signal.

I found out what was slowing my Optimum internet speeds significantly! It was my router, it has througput limit. It hits 35 Mbps upload but won't go past 50 on the download.

 

For Christmas I asked my mother for a new gigabit capable router (I'm no ordinary teenager) so I can get my actual speed out of the ISP.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
