Getting amazing 3g speeds in Chelsea at 23rd 8th!

 

[AndyNYC1]

I went to Hoe avenue today to test LTE and it was very spotty. I was excited to see the 4g icon, but I couldn't even finish a speed test. It would start at LTE and finish the speed test in 3G. It's not ready for prime time, but hopefully it's a sign of what's to come.

 

 

For reference: I'm on a Galaxy S3 running JellyBomb 4.3 Jellybean leak.

 

That also happen to me when i was up there they have some towers with LTE but some on not on yet they are just testing them that's what sprint told me and also it might be spotty since theirs more 3G thowers then LTE live now

[JohnnyAwesome]

Wow not a bad result in Midtown/Chelsea!

Goods speed i get good speeds also it just depends what time of the day it is my area has a lot of people on the towers and tends to get slow around 12pm

LOL. I was at 23rd and 8th yesterday waiting for the bus. I didn't run a speedtest but I guess next time I am there I will!

OK that explains a lot. I could always reconnect , but the speeds would slow down quickly and kick me back to 3g. Hopefully we get a prelaunch within a month.

I am back over there on Tues. Will check it out. Where on Hoe? I was near the Laundry Mat on the corner of Hoe Ave.

I had to put my iphone on air plane mode and then turn it off to get LTE but it would last about 1 min and then go away

[CorruptionDee]

Same as Andy. I switched back and forth from airplane mode. As for location, I was on 175th street in front of the Laundromat and next to the train station . The signal was the same in the plaza with all the stores as well.

[Aprilgrl920]

Oh ok.. I'm so impatient, looking for LTE to pop up in my area. With LTE its like I have a different phone.

I don't know if it makes a difference but I was on 174th and Hoe in the direction of going towards Tremont Ave. Near the storage place.

You guys and gals, a PCMag author tested the LTE in the Bronx.

[Paynefanbro]

Seems like Sprint may outperform the #1 U.S. carrier in the #1 city in the U.S.

[QWIKSTRIKE]

Damn I have been all over the Bronx but my phone is not always in front of my face. In Throggsneck I thought I saw a 4g signal for a split second and then it was gone. I have achieved up to 1.9mbs in many areas including Queens since last January, but like U.F.O's I ain't never seen on o dem 4g LTE signals yet. I have even tested areas where Wimax was strong and no LTE yet.lol

 

I am now jealous, and must travel with my phone in my windshield mount now.rofl

[AndyNYC1]

Today i had 1 signal bar and it said extended without 3G on my iPhone and what Sprint told me was that this was happening since they are getting ready to launch NV LTE in your area and they are working on the towers near your house . They said it should be ready for the 19th

[mrradic]

Only 3 days away, we can only hope!

[AndyNYC1]

I went around the block from my house and I saw Crew workers from alcatel lucent working on it

Go talk to them!! I'm sure we would all like to hear how much they have progressed around the city.

I would take that wiht a huge grain of salt LMAO

 

Reps are very unreliable when it comes to this or most any kind of info

[Aprilgrl920]

I'm on 174th its switching from 4G back to 3G. I guess their still working on the network. Omw to work, driving down Southern Boulevard I spotted 4G.

Here is a revised map update for my area https://network.sprint.com/NY/New-York/

Here is a revised map update for my area https://network.spri...om/NY/New-York/

 

what's interesting is the viewing a close-up of that map shows absolutely nothing happening for those of us in Morningside Heights. I have no idea if the "data speed upgrades" and "data capacity upgrades" shown have anything to do with Network Vision or not, but according to their own map, nothing is happening in this neighborhood.

[CorruptionDee]

Its funny you should mention that , because I was thinking the same thing. We know for a fact that there's at least one live lte tower in the Bronx yet I don't see that listed at all. It seems as though Sprint's own website is pretty useless for detailed information regarding lte updates. Its very vague, mentioning only "speed upgrades". What does that mean? Asfar as I'm concerned that simply refers to standard increases in 3g speeds as part of NV upgrades. I know they're in a tight spot and are playing catch up in lte upgrades and coverage compared to AT&T and Verizon , but I wish they were more in depth with their info.
