Network Vision/LTE - San Diego Market

[Matthew9543]

I just did a speedtests near Mission Gorge and got Ehrpd..

[bookertdub]

I'm getting some really good 3G here in Ocean Beach by Hill Street & Cordova Street. That's probably the best 3G speeds I've ever encountered in San Diego.

Just ran a Field Test on my iPhone 5 on NAS North Island and we are still on 1xEV-DO.

I wish my speeds were that good.

[bookertdub]

Where I live (I-15 & Mira Mesa Blvd) my speeds indoors are usually between 400-800kbps (not that it usually matters since I use my home WiFi anyways) but when I venture out to the car park at my place it'll range anywhere from 600-1,500kbps. I really do think Sprint is starting to make an effort to improve their data speeds in San Diego County.

I haven't seen too many speed increases in north county. It looks like Sprint is following that lame strategy of starting in Chula Vista and working their way north. They had stated that they would spread the upgrades out so that different areas could share in the benefits but if you take a look at the network.sprint.com site, it becomes obvious that they are following Verizon's strategy of south to north.

[GW1973]

Yeah, but the problem is that instead of using the South to North for all of CA. If so, North County would have been getting something by now. Instead, LA has some & so does Orange County, but NC, budkiss...oh well. Guess NC was not worth WiMax & now it is the red headed step child of SD county.

I was looking at San Diego's network updates and it showed I new tower, but I zoomed in to where it said one new tower, but its not there! Could anyone help?

Where about is this magical tower in San Diego?

[Matthew9543]

Near the border

[bookertdub]

Must be a bad day in Mira Mesa. I haven't seen speeds this slow or ping times this bad in a rather long time. (Mira Mesa Blvd at Westview Pkwy)

First post for me but I've been seeing vastly improved 3G speeds lately in San Diego. Mission Gorge Rd. at I-8 I've been hitting 1.5-1.6 Mbps down, 0.62 up. In Solana Beach I've been at 1.58 Mbps down, .5 up. Been as high as 2.35 down, 0.93 up on 3G in some parts.

 

Not to say I haven't had my fair share of slow speeds too but I think there is hope.

That's good to hear. What I'm going through is maybe just a hiccup in Sprint improving their data speed.

I just did a whole bunch of speedtests on the app, each time, my ping was low and the speeds got faster. Idk if it has something to do with 3G going on and off, or just something else. Also, I just got a few network communication issues, I swore I saw a 4G symbol, but I doubt it since I haven't heard anything about 4G happening in San Diego.

[bookertdub]

Getting some real good speedy 3G by the Sports Arena (aka the less well known Valley View Casino Center). Off of Midway Drive and Wing Street.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/30/ezu5e9yv.jpg[/img

 

I remember just a few months ago around July, the 3G speed was abysmal. Granted that was around 3pm then, and this speed test was taken around a few minutes before 9pm tonight

Just did a speedtest and its gone back to EvdoA

[TD99]

I'm at Mira Mesa Blvd. and Pacific Heights. Just ran Speedtest for the first time on my "Black Friday S3 special".

[bookertdub]

I was visiting a friend at La Mirage Apartments off of Santo Road (right above Interstate 15 & The Friars Rd offramp in 92124 zip) and noticed this. A flyer talking about some sort of meeting about a conditional use permit with regards to Sprint's tower here. Can anyone read into this if this means LTE is coming sooner rather than later?

This is most likely for a new site. New site planning and permitting can take 6 months to a year in a place like California. Most likely San Diego will be well covered with LTE before this site goes live.

Thanks for the clarification Robert! I usually never pay attention to those notices but I'm glad I found it. And was even more stoked that it was Sprint related. If that site does get approved in sure it'll be aimed towards the Murph (Qualcomm Stadium as everyone else knows it as). The 3G gets overloaded on gameday even in the parking lot.

Many approved sites now in San Diego this week. Good news, LTE is just around the corner, I hope Christmas we see some towers with LTE! I have a tower near my house on schedule map to be ready by October but is yet to be accepted. The speeds are always above 1Mbps so NV is definitely completed.

The sites completed thread in the Sponsors section that you have access to?

[Matthew9543]

Is there any other updates on the San Diego Market?

[simonyahn]

Hello,

 

1st time posting, long time viewer.

 

I feel there has been a more stable connection at my office, (Kearny Mesa off 163 between Balboa and Clairemont Mesa Blvd) throughout the day. Hopefully the LTE switch will happen soon, I (like many San Diegans) have been waiting for beyond 3G speeds since WiMax was introduced and nothing for almost 3 years now.

 

Are there any further updates to the San Diego market?
