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

I can also comfirm the small cell on 42nd street is 2xCA just hit 110mbs.

Sheesh... I need to go into the city and see those speeds for myself.

 

I switched back to sprint and I gotta say, HUGE improvement. I'm loving it..

Last weekend I was around Duane Park 7 pm in a Restaurant with some family.

 

My cousin is on T-mobile and another on Att. We did a speed test, the results were

 

Me (Sprint) - 40mb/s T-mobile- 22 mb/s  Att - 16 mb/s

 

All of course more then enough for any usage but it shows how much improvement Sprint has made.

Anyone know what this means on SCP. Its been showing up for me a ton in Queens and in Manhattan. I'm referring to the two *'s. Ran a speed test after seeing it this time and got over 40Mbps

 

Also unrelated question: Any one know of the status of the DAS at JFK?

Which terminal?

Fun fact, while taking my Uber today I found out T-Mobile doesn't have service in the Battery Tunnel. Meanwhile Sprint has Band 26 down here and I'm posting this while on it right now. It might be leaky coax or a DAS because the signal is really strong.

By design if I recall, same goes for the Queens Midtown Tunnel.

I've never had any luck at Terminal 4 and Terminal 5

 

I'm flying out of Terminal 4 tomorrow, will check on my devices to see how coverage and speeds are.

 

For the most part thanks to Hotspot 2.0, I'm on the secure WIFI rather than mobile at most terminals.

I'm sitting in Terminal 4 right now, gate B43, and camped on a perfectly usable B25 signal. Speeds are averaging 13-15mbps on the downlink.

I wish Hotspot 2.0 worked on Nexus/Pixel devices...

"Optimum to deploy fiber capable of 10Gbps internet to all customers"

 

Thanks Altice!!!

 

Here's a link to the press release for those wondering: http://altice.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Altice-pr-altice-USA-Unveils-Generation-Gigaspeed.pdf

 

As I stated in the comments, it's not as if they have to build out fiber from scratch. They more or less just have to replace all the coax from the curb to the premises. That's unless the current fiber they have deployed to the curb is not capable of 10Gbps speeds.

Perhaps I'm late to this but when did Optimum start offering 300Mbps residential internet?

About 4-5 weeks ago. I upgraded to the 101 package (which ends up around 120mbs down and 40mb up, loving the upload) for just a few bucks more.

I only noticed that myself when I was watching the knicks game, and I was like oh that's nice!!! They're also going to be doing some fiber to the home upgrades in the next couple years which should be interesting. I upgraded to the 200Mbps package myself. 300 just doesn't give u peak speeds unless its early in the day I found out. There links get saturated as would any connection being hammered by multiple users.

Really wish they were able to offer faster upload speeds. FIOS offers symmetrical download and upload.

 

I'm pretty certain it's a limitation of the HFC setup that they're using that uploads are pretty low. With the upgrade to FTTH, the upload speeds will probably increase quite a bit.

Haha yeah I've got 150mbps symmetrical from Frontier out here in Seattle. Works like a charm - I don't think I've never seen speeds fall below the 150 mark.

Yup same with FiOS in Pittsburgh. Never below 150 down. Up is usually 165 or so. I don't think I can ever go back to unsymmetrical internet long term, it's nice being able to host things from a home server (media, VPN, etc).

 

Now if they would just roll out IPv6...

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
