NaNa_Ch!LL Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Their okay im just use to seeing 10-20mbps up even for Sprint Seriously? Mind = blown. I'll be good with a steady 5-10 Mbps down and 2 up once fully deployed. By the way the rollout on sensorly is looking, this market is making huge moves.

Kudos Yeah Seriously , lmaoo , I like to have super fast speeds at all times , but I guess ur right anything over 10-30down & 5-20up is good with me . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa! 10-30 and 5-20 up? That sounds like a little greed. I would be happy with 10 down and 5 up and great latency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wfmets45 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Since we live in NY & Sprint is giving us LTE in the very near future , I think you should upgrade to the 5 trust me in the end it will be completely worth it . I would upgrade to the 5 but my upgrade isnt until July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it. I won't complain though. I think 5-10 down and 2-5 up is pretty darn fast for your everyday mobile needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTEBrooklyn Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I would upgrade to the 5 but my upgrade isnt until July. Maybe the 5s or 6 will be out then and LTE will be more deployed anyway, so u will get the full package by waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is. The only real reason for high speeds is for video streaming. Anything else u can think of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaNa_Ch!LL Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I would upgrade to the 5 but my upgrade isnt until July. Yea I'd rather wait another month or so until the 5s/6 comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deval Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The max upload you'll ever see on Sprint's LTE is 8mbps, if I'm not mistaken. The average will be 6-8mbps on the downlink and 2-3mbps on the uplink. Which is more than enough for any streaming app out there (Netflix, Youtube, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTE averages at 20-30 down when I have good coverage here. Sometimes 40. You're talking about the old skool 4G.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 I know what it averages, I get consistent 25-30mbps down daily. And there is no way anyone can actually get 40mbps down on the configuration that Sprint has deployed. Key work is average advertised speed. What I quoted is Sprint's advertised speed for LTE. Most users will experience faster speeds, but the consistent speed to be expected is within that 6-8mbps range.

I'll probably get the 5S since there are rumors that Apple will release a new iPhone at their WWDC in June. Can't wait for LTE speeds.

Dkoellerwx Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Whats up with all the gray splotches , when I click on it , it says no coverage https://www.dropbox....%2011.07.33.png Some phones report "No LTE" to Sensorly, which gets plotted as grey. Only a handful of phones do this. Most leave the map blank when they don't have LTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Sprint doesn't cap speeds. That is definitely a crowded tower or degredation in quality of signal. Bars don't tell the whole story as, I vs have 3 bars and still get near 2Mbps speeds. It can also be a backhaul issue or something wrong at the LTE core.

The average will be 6-8mbps on the downlink and 2-3mbps on the uplink. Which is more than enough for any streaming app out there (Netflix, Youtube, etc.) This is accurate, but to clarify, the 6-8Mbps number that Sprint promoting was figured on heat maps of anticipated burdened loads. Sprint is advertising what the worst normal speeds that will likely be encountered, which is at a seam between two sites that is fully burdened, but not overburdened. These areas have not only reduced signal strength, being farther from the site, but also have some interference occurring from overlapping signals. So if you built a heat map of NYC fully built out, based on speeds, you would see that near the sites speeds are 20Mbps+. In the middle area around a site, speeds would be 10-20Mbps. In the outer ring, you get 6-10Mbps. Beyond the outler ring, you would have a weak signal which may or may not provide service. Sprint uses the outer ring to base its averages, because a lot of people will experience this performance if they live, work or travel through these areas. All carriers do this, actually.

The average will be 6-8mbps on the downlink and 2-3mbps on the uplink. Which is more than enough for any streaming app out there (Netflix, Youtube, etc.) Thats incorrect bc places where Sprint LTE is already launched like Atlanta the download is around 20-30mbps & the upload is around 5-15mbps & thats why I said we should get 10-30down over here in the NYC . Sprint LTE shouldn't be any less than 10mbps & you guys are only saying you'll accept bc we don't have LTE all over the place & we've only gotten a taste of it .

Dkoellerwx Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 How do you map it on Sensorly ? Well, you can't. iPhones can't map for Sensorly due to a limitation imposed by Apple. They won't allow access to the information Sensorly needs to map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
