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

Its probably Sensorly mapping out future soon to be announced LTE towers or unactive LTE towers

Sensorly does not do this. Sensorly uses crowd sourced data. The info on their maps comes from users of the Sensorly Android app. That area was mapped by real Sprint LTE customers. So the service was live in that area when it appeared. Most likely during testing.

Hey Robert,

 

how much effect does updating PRL have on LTE signal? Since 3G/1x can come from a separate site, would updating the PRL and Profile help with picking up better signal wherever you are..Im currently getting pretty crappy voice signal, when before i was getting excellent voice in the same place. But, unfortunately I am on a AOSP Rom (CM 10.1) without a way of updating my current PRL.

Updating a PRL will do nothing for even your 1x signal. All it does for you right now is cycle your radio. Only real change you will see in a prl update is when 800smr is added to your market.

So your saying that cycling airplane mode on and off does exactly the same thing??? I thought something else entirely different.

Since PRL's don't change all that often, running the PRL update is pretty much a roundabout way of cycling your radios, it forces your phone to re-scan through all the frequencies, checking first for LTE then 3G. Much easier to just cycle airplane mode.

Thanks for the info, that kinda makes more sense, I just figured since sprint is actively upgrading now as we speak PRL updates might be a better way to have the latest list of updated towers. Plus, I ride the subway very frequently, and am a firm believer in airplane mode on the subway as a way of conserving a ton of battery life, and also receiving signal instantly after getting off the subway.

PRL's don't actually list towers, or even update when new towers go up, or towers have LTE turned on. It lists more groups of towers, by geographic region, rather than individual towers. If a new tower is added in your area, you phone will connect to it automatically, assuming it's given the same regional ID as the other towers around you. That's a basic explanation (I hope). Digiblur is the PRL expert. If I messed anything up, I'm sure he can give you a better idea of what a PRL does.

Just mapped LTE along Snyder Avenue in Brooklyn. It lasted until I turned the corner onto Utica. I should mention I was going east coming from Downstate. I guess that would become self evident in a couple of minutes when it appears on the map

My LTE speeds. I was moving so speeds fluctuated greatly. In Brooklyn. Those uploads aren't so great besides the 5mbps upload.

But look at those pings! that's what makes everything load nice and snappy, Just think, in a few months you can probably say bye bye to those 300ms pings and 100k/s downloads..

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.

      FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.

      Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.

      MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.

      I am lucky to be served by an excellent fiber ISP and that is the only reason I haven't tried TMOs FWA. Once you go fiber, it is REALLY hard to go back. The choice of sub-10ms ping times is a very artificial bucket, FWA will seldom get much below 10ms ping times but fiber regularly gets me 1-3ms ping times. Basically, at around those times, the speed of light and the distance you are from the server become the limiting factors. As an aside, my internet provider, ZiplyFiber, has been awesome. They peer like crazy at all the major IX in the area and, as a result, you end up with what essentially amounts to direct fiber connections to the vast majority of major data sources. While it isn't sexy, it makes my 1Gb/1Gb connection load pages significantly faster than my works 10Gb/10Gb connection. On the "sexy" side, they are also fastest ISP in the nation. They offer up to 50Gb/50Gb via a direct fiber connection to the router, albeit for an eye watering $900/mo.
