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

Your best bet is calling up Sprint stores until you find one. There's plenty of options where you live.

You will have it very likely for the next 2 years. It's only an extra $100. I look it at like its unlimited possibilities and I enjoy my phone a lot more knowing I can basically download and put anything on my phone.

 

You can't find a job to make a $100?

 

I know your in school, but I'm sure you can find something for it.

 

You'll really enjoy it :)

Taking the 7 train as I do daily, the only time I switch to 3G is when pulling into Queensboro Plaza. Coming above ground going into Queens on my way home, I see my phone latching onto LTE relatively quickly.

Yeah they sure do. The 5s is worth like 320$ at the Sprint store. Apple buyback is different, they only give 180 for a 5 and I don't know how much for a 5s.

I got $353 for my 5s the day the 6 Plus came out

Not bad. I believe apple is doing a big restock of iPhone's around the end of this month beginning of next month so I'm gonna be on the lookout [emoji102][emoji102][emoji102]

What happened at LaGuardia Airport? According to o root metrics:

 

Sprint’s median download speed decreased from 18.3 Mbps to 3.8 Mbps, and its median upload speed fell from 3.1 Mbps to 1.0 Mbps.

 

Ref: http://www.rootmetrics.com/us/rsr/lga-airport/2014/2H

Simple B25 saturation! Im pretty sure they connected to only B25. Right now its already a different story, with NY speeds being excellent!

Boys and Girls! we have 8t8r lift off!!!

 

I bumped into at least 10 8t8r sites ALIVE and KICKING! My home site is already broadcasting!

 

 

Speeds were hovering between 20-30mb on all sites!

 

That seems to be the top speed at the moment on any 8T8R deployment. As soon I hit a Clear convertion, I am able to hit speeds between 60-70MB down.

Many of them are provisioned the same backhual speed as the 5 mhz carriers so they mostly top out at 40mbps as 5mhz FDD tops out at ~37 mbps.

 

The backhaul providers will be busy delivering more bandwith for the new carriers soon enough. It'll be much easier this time as they're mostly fiber based or other types of easily scalable backhaul. There's already a number of sites starting to hit 60-80 mbps after it was turned on and initially provisioned 40 mbps.

Question, when did Sprint say they were going to be done rolling out LTE or even fully upgraded 3G. Legacy 3G just suckys butt Tbh

 

I don't think they gave a definitive date. In NYC, I think it'll be around summer next year when Sprint will hit the 100% NV completed sites mark and around year end for 100% LTE conversion.

Hello all, I just registered hoping to get some information. I'm in the 11242 area in Brooklyn, and my LTE service is pretty embarrassingly slow. I'm talking .15 down with 495 ping(vs .72 down with 95 ping on 3G only mode). I've put my iPhone in field test mode, and I think I saw it connected to band 25?(I could be wrong, as I'm not too familiar with the iPhone FTM). Its frustrating that I have to force it on 3G to even do anything, I've even updated the PRL (currently on 51103) and still no go.

 

I just want to watch Game of Thrones in glorious HD on this beautiful screen :(

My question is does Sprint pay backhaul vendors by fiber bandwidth? Otherwise why don't lay down the top bandwidth from beginning.

      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.
