Network Vision/LTE - San Diego Market

When will we get any LTE love in El Cajon? Are there any LTE towers out here? There's been a lot of work going on regarding service and towers out here in the past month. Sometimes I have service, and sometimes I have not one bar on my iphone5. That a good thing?

I did some mapping at the 805 and Palm Ave. today. The South Bay is starting to look good.

 

Scary thing is this is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait 'til Sprint completes its 4G LTE deployment. It'll be magnificent.

I drove all over Imperial Beach and on the 805 yesterday to try to find 4G but couldnt :/ but this morning I have noticed faster 3G speeds in Eastlake. I usually get .05-.15mps on speed tests on average but this morning im getting .5-.7mps.

The strongest point of LTE in IB is on Palm Ave between 16th Street (Rally's Burger) and 13th Street (Carls Jr).

Screenshot is Sprint 4G LTE deployment a tad over a month in San Diego County. Still a lot more to be done but so much to look forward in the coming months. In my opinion this is very impressive in just that short amount of time that this much has been activated at one point or another. I'm not an expert, but in my opinion at the current rate, provided there are no delays, I think a majority amount of the populated parts of the county will be covered in 6-9 months.

i was up and down palm avenue in IB and all over that area delivering pizzas for 4 hours tonight and my EVO 3D didnt pick up any 4g :( I think my phones allergic to 4g

 

I could be wrong, but I believe the EVO 3D is a 4G WiMax device, not a 4G LTE device. That's why you're not getting 4G LTE on that particular phone. Unfortunately there are are only 1 or 2 WiMax "protection" sites in the county, nothing widespread unlike LA & Orange Counties.

I can help map East County if someone notices LTE and cant update Sensorly, just let me know.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
