Was out friday night at green turtle in arrundel MD, across the street from the new casino. When my buddy noticed his phone went to 4G but dropped back to 3G...so i rebooted my phone and yep...my phone went to 4G also then 3G again....did a test with dslreports and saw the following even though it said 3G in the signal bar..strange but true...attached pics.

 

Notice i was in arrundel, but the server says Washington DC, and not Baltimore. also says washington DC BETA!! Network says LTE.

 

hope its good news for the next few weeks.

 

anyone else saw or experienced this?

Or can anyone explain why it would say WASHINGTON DC BETA and not Baltimore if i was catching a bmore tower?

The server name and location are coming from Speedtest. It is just the remote server that Speedtest app is using to measure the upload, download and ping. This location has nothing to do with the Sprint network.

The tower you were connected to is definitely in the Baltimore market. The server listed has nothing to do with Sprint, it's the SpeedTest.net server you were connected to. The SpeedTest app selected a server called "Washington DC BETA". It has nothing to do with Sprint LTE. I can even see it and select it for speed tests here in New Mexico for my work ISP, my Sprint phone on 3G, or on Verizon LTE. See pic below:

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By cooltech6597 · Posted

      Been in Japan for the past few days, and I'm about to leave today. Google Fi/Tmus roaming in Japan only had Softbank LTE, so it was pretty slow in busy areas, especially HND (albeit usable in most places). When I got to Osaka, I bought a KDDI native SIM from Aerobile, which is an esim reseller based in Taiwan. With this au/KDDI SIM, I could get NR, and that really improved the network experience here. Even though my phone is missing many ENDC combos here, having b1 + n77 or b3 + n77 or b41 + n78 really helps out with the congested LTE network here. As a bonus, 4cc n257 also works on my s24, and I've reached peaks of 2gbps with it. I'm heading to China today, so hopefully Google Fi supports 5G on whatever carrier they roam on in the mainland. If not, I'll probably be stuck on congested LTE like the first couple of days in Japan.

      Mike, I just noticed on my S22 Ultra when connected to Verizon n261 SCP is reporting it as n257. I don't see mmwave very often and I didn't notice it at the time I was connected to it. Not sure if it matters but I'm on Visible.

      Here's my personal best, as well as the maximum speed I was able to get over 5gbps USB tethering. Millimeter wave is definitely a lot of fun, and I wish AT&T and T-Mobile would deploy a lot more of it.
