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

And by the way, I think the closing of this topic was kind of unnecessary.

Where specifically? I passed through Columbus circle earlier and it was fine.

 

Then again that's more midtown.

 

Wall Street area. Way way downtown. Seems to be back up and running now. Don't know what happened though.

Well, I completely disagree. Now you guys completely understand what our tolerance level is. Pull the same crap again and you can expect the same or worse. We ain't a business and we don't have to tolerate the crap. Understand?

Not to sound like I am arguing but, the post before it got closed had to do with someone trying to connect to LTE and then when it closed I was confused as to why. That was all, and that's why I thought it was unnecessary. We got a warning when talking about the iPhone vs Android and then we stopped, and then suddenly it closed.

The remaining posts do not paint the picture. It is the removed posts. We even had to ban a member for his comments. I don't appreciate it.

Oh I did not know.

 

Thanks

 

Same. I was at Applebee's on Marble Hill in the Bronx 225th. No LTE and sluggish 3G. Very strange because that area was one of the first in the Bronx to get LTE if I'm not mistakened. About a week and a half ago I went to planet fitness and ran a speed test while resting. Got 21 Mbps down and 3 up. Could they be readjusting it?

Yeahh , the topic was i couldn't connect to LTE & you guys were trying to assist me then some random douche comes & here & brings up the iPhone vs Android topic but he was being hostile about it & I didn't like that so I cursed him out , but being the douche that he was he kept on going & it irritated me so i got a lil bit angry & didn't rationalize my thoughts which was out of order & I apologized & even changed my comments then the thread randomly gets locked when we (excluding that guy) were actually talkin about LTE .

That's the problem. There are moderators here for a reason. If some "Internet tough guy" comes in here trolling, don't respond. If you report it and continue on with your conversation as if "Internet tough guy" doesn't exist, that person will be dealt with and the thread will continue on without issue. If the moderators have to clean up pages and pages of worthless garbage and pissing matches, everyone is guilty.

 

It's not that much different than if in real life, someone punches you with a cheap shot. Do you call the police and let them do their job? Or do you, and the other people around you retaliate and beat up the person? In example 1, the only person being arrested is the person who threw the punch, in example 2 everyone involved is probably going downtown.

I don't think u should apologize for your feeling. Things happen and ppl get under your skin. You are human. I didn't find it offensive. Some people are very irritating and no matter how much u ignore him, it's hard.

Kind of mad right now. I walk 5 blocks north, south, or east and I pick up a weak LTE signal but as soon as I get home, I lose the signal. It is at -124dbm when I reach the block my home is on and then it drops.

 

I don't think LTE will work inside your house even if u had a strong signal. I get LTE a very strong signal outside on my steps, but as soon as I walk in my house, the signal is nonexistent.

That's because site density is not good enough. I am sure it was that way when Evdo first came out on Sprint. As more towers cone online you'll have a stronger signal, especially if the tower you are connected to for 3G is the same as the one you connect to for 4G.

Even though right outside my house less then 10 feet away I get 4 bars of LTE?

I was able to get WiMAX indoors before so that's interesting

When I had the EVO 4G and Epic 4G Touch there was huge difference in speed and strength between being by a window and 15 feet away from it inside my apartment. Lots of people complained of WiMAX's lack of indoor penetration.

 

That being said, just realized 3G is on the same 1900 band so lack of towers is more likely the answer.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
