Im starting to notice better 3G speeds in a couple of place i go through out Jersey, mostly northern jersey. When i do speed test it will get a high as 1.8mbps down and 1mbps up but then without warning ill start to see terrible speeds. Hopefully this mean theyre doing some NV work in Northern Jersey, is there anybody that is seeing sprint do work around there area?

Also do the Mods know the NV status of North Jersey?

This is not Network Vision related. Its related to network maintenance upgrades. The ones tracked at network.sprint.com.

Robert - can you advise why the band aid fixes (the one this user is discussing here) seem to have this same issue? The issue I speak of is ranging from fantastic speeds (approaching 2mbps) and then, just as suddenly, jumping back to horrific speeds. I have the same problem here in Georgia and it seems to be common to the "band-aided" towers. Is there anything inherent in how this process works that might lead to the wildly varying speeds associated with these towers? Thanks in advance!

Most of the time when it says they are adding a speed upgrade, they are adding 1 (and in a few instances 2) T1 lines. A T1 line does not add much capacity. So in the beginning, it's good enough to relieve the burden initially from the amount of traffic the site currently carries, and speed improves.

 

But once users start to realize the site is running faster, they start using it more and quickly overwhelm the additional bandwidth added. There is no substitute to new high capacity NV backhaul. Additional T1's are not a permanent solution.

      A new 60MB GP System update was waiting when I checked my S24+ tonight.  And bringing it to a November 1 date this time.

      Drove by there and it definitely isn't on the Northlake property. It was very late, so I couldn't see much else though. Did some more sleuthing on GoogleMaps and I suspect it might be this powerline site nearby: Google Maps I will go by there in the next couple of days during the daytime and see if that's the case.

      Vinegar Hill is getting the Brooklyn Heights treatment now with regard to small cells. I mapped two more small cells in the neighborhood in the past few days so now T-Mobile is up to 8 of them in such a tiny neighborhood. While it's cool they're doing this since it means outdoors you get a consistent 400Mbps+ almost everywhere, it sucks because they're obviously deploying so many of them to make up for their lack of a macro site in the entire neighborhood. Because there isn't a macro, the small cells have a greater coverage area than you see in other neighborhoods and you often connect to them while indoors but coverage and speeds fall off indoors much faster on small cells than on macros in my experience.  Even Dish has better coverage than T-Mobile in Vinegar Hill since they added the site on top of the Extra Space Storage building alongside AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile needs to get in line with their competitors there.
