pslee Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 No reception at all in part of flushing. Hope it is a good sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pslee Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Very frustrating when you really need data but you are connected to very weak 4g and get no coverage at all. Cant complain since there is always a smile when I see 4g sign but sometimes it is annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pslee Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 There is definitely a tower live near Corona. I get good 4g signal on the 7 train near 103rd st and cor9na Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keitarou Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 When I was passing that area yesterday, my phone showed -113db. Wasn't strong enough of a 4G signal. I have yet to see 4G signal in the -80 ~ -90's range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be coming from flushing also maybe it is from flushing but it is odd to have 4g signal when i didn't have it any other day. download speed was around 5mbps and ping was awesome. i didn't have to chance to check the signal strength but it was actually usable 4g. maybe because i was above the ground level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaiahL Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 This is the only reason I'm not upset about 4G going in and out. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Thats the best 3G connection i've seen on Sprint thus far , the closest i've ever gotten to that was 1.91 down , & .90up if Sprint had that kinda 3G everywhere people would be alot more happy . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best of all the major carriers. Everyone I know on VZW doesn't get remotely close to those kinds of numbers on 3G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaiahL Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Probably the best of all the major carriers. Everyone I know on VZW doesn't get remotely close to those kinds of numbers on 3G. Yeah Verizon 3G sucks everyone only goes to Verizon to get their amazing LTE speeds , AT&T 3G or HSPA+ is okay I think out of the 3 companies AT&T has the best 3G out of all the carriers . After Sprint complete's the NV project I think they'll have the second best 3G as for LTE we will see when it's fully developed, but from the looks of it every carrier has the same kinda LTE speeds average for the carriers would be id say around 30-40down & 20-30up Edited February 12, 2013 by IsaiahL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wfmets45 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I must say that I am surprised that NYC had 81 updates today. First time I see a number like that. I guess Sprint really is pushing to launch NYC soon. They still have a lot of 3G updated towers and very few 4G towers, except in the bronx but that is fine with me since I have the 4S and I cant upgrade to the iPhone 5 till July for LTE speeds but I have been having much better 3G speeds around NYC. Can't wait till my tower is updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCHitman1 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I wish it was easier for AlcaLu to work on the UES. I'm just patiently waiting for LTE coverage to spread towards my office on E 70th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyNYC1 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 How do you know the numbers of updates for today? You need to be a sponsor so that you can be able to see the updates and the towers lit up!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyNYC1 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Do any of you guys know if Westower Communications is working with sprint to do the 4G LTE upgrades? I saw them near my house by the sprint cell site!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTEBrooklyn Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm getting this box with a little o next to the sprint bars. it's literally in most places in brooklyn and then it finally goes to 3G.

Paynefanbro Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I believe that means that you are on 1x. When I get near an LTE tower, my EVO drops 3G sometimes and I get no data signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
