Not to mention their famous claim of "we cover 96% of the population". They always forget to add on, "with EDGE or GPRS". Those claims of they have HSPA+ as a fallback are bogus because of you don't have HSPA+, I am 99% sure you don't have LTE.

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 got -98dbm to -99 dbm indoor in my condo in LIC. but the signal was going from 4g to 3g constantly. i thought they were working on something there. The signal was not weak enough to drop.

I'm seeing "2 data speed upgrades" popping up in Nassau County, 3 near Port Washington & 1 in Carle Place.

 

Of course, it may or may not be NV, but 3 in one area is an eye opener.

 

Edit: I see some out in Suffolk County too, 1 in Babylon & another near Mt. Sinai.

T-Mobile is going to modernize their whole network much like Sprint is. They just don't have to move as fast. Not many people in rural areas ever had them to start with.

Only their urban areas where they have HSPA+. Rural areas have no plans as far as I know.

I suspect T-Mobile will have to do something eventually, or start selling off rural markets. If they upgrade their whole network starting now they won't have to do that later.

 

There's also the matter of keeping AWS spectrum...

I think the only thing t-mobile and sprint have in common right now is truly unlimited data. Is that the only reason all of you are on sprint? This question is for everyone! That's the reason I am. (The only reason)

 

Im on Sprint cause my Grandma has been with Sprint for 10+ years , they consider her a valued customer & tbh Sprint's service isn't that bad , but before I was on Sprint I had AT&T but I didn't know all the facts about there data & the unlimited services and stuff , I don't think i'd go back not unless they start offering Truly Unlimited Plans like Sprint & didn't Throttle .

Been with Sprint since March 2001 and never felt the need to switch. Price has been fine and service was always good where I've needed it. I've been through the good and bad service times and now it looks like great times is on the way.

I joined Sprint in June 2010 for the EVO. I stayed because of the unlimited data, corporate discount, and was able to get the GS3 for $4 when I renewed my contract.

I really have noticed 3G getting faster and faster everywhere I'm going. I was browsing the other day and forgot I was on 3G and then noticed I was on it. Pretty crazy stuff

LTE back on in LIC/Astoria....mapping now

By looking at the Sensorly, the tower that has lte must be facing north east since it has good solid purple on the northeast side than the other? Too bad my condo is on the other side of the town

I redid my phone recently and couldn't find it by searching the App Store. When I go into the store though, their is a option to download all apps you have previously downloaded with your App Store ID. Their is a complete list from all iOS devices and sensorly was in there and I was able to redownload. But sensorly seems to be gone from the App Store. Not sure what happened
