I think I found a new personal speedtest record for Sprint 4G LTE in San Diego County in terms of download speed. I got this on the corner of Camino Ruiz & Mira Mesa Blvd in the Mira Mesa community of San Diego.Posted Image

Yep. The tower is the flagpole at the NW corner in the shopping center.  :)

I seen an LTE update on sponsor map that went live in San Ysidro. The many times I've been to the outlets down that way, data, voice, and service was pretty much useless. I wonder how it is now after the LTE went live just recently?

Over here at work in Encinitas, it looks like crews recently tweaked a site around the corner (Garden View/Via Montoro) compared to the low 20s up, and 4-6 down speeds since May. Average up speeds are ranging between 25-28, and down speeds ranging from 7-10 on many occasions.

Try a San Diego speed test server.  I get over 35Mbps on many sites in San Diego  :tu:

Did some mapping in PB and MB today.  Only PB showed up with LTE active at around the Rec Center on Diamond.  I have been checking for the last few months since I mapped a weak signal at Crown Point which is now stronger and also a signal on the east side of Fiesta Island (via bicycle).  It's clear from looking at the Fiesta Island Sensorly map just how effective the 6' high sand dunes/berms are at blocking the LTE signal.  

 

Anyone in PB?  Any LTE signal there?  There is a site there with "2 data speed upgrades"

 

From my observation since we started getting LTE, all "2 data speed upgrades" are confirmed in San Diego with LTE.

 

I also mapped some new LTE on Voltaire near Catalina in OB last week....it's spreading.  Voltaire speed was 8.73 down.  This is the first week that it has shown up so I'm hopeful for the near future

 

Here is the Speedtest from Voltaire

How do you like the new version of the speed test app?

I like the new look, and bigger to read. I wish it stored more test results, and the location where tests were made are totally off.

Can some of you gurus tell me what I am looking at here?  

 

This is in San Diego and is right next to some current telecommunications construction in Mission Bay Park.   There has been an ongoing trenching and construction project for the last month which might well be to bring fiber to the Sprint site on the Hayatt hotel .  In what seemed like overnight, these 2 sites located on brand new street lights appeared.  I'm fairly sure that one of them is Verizon but would appreciate feedback about what I am looking at here.  I'm trying to figure this out.  I'm guessing that some other carriers are taking advantage of the fiber backhaul that Sprint is bringing to the area.

Went to the Cowboys/Chargers game on Sunday, sitting in Plaza Section 20, Row 20, under the loge level overhang and I was sitting in a cell phone blackhole. I was in the mindset of not botheing to use data, because with any venue of that size concentrated in a small area, data is going to be overloaded. I wasn't even that much surprised about having text message issues in trying to send them. What I was surprised with though I've never seen my phone go from roaming to native coverage so much. The only thing I can think of maybe because of my seating location, was causing all of the roaming issues.

I had the same exact issues last Dec when I was at the Panthers/Chargers game. I was in the field section. Data was useless, couldn't text, couldn't make or receive calls either. Outside of the stadium, data was super slow and lagging. About a mile away from the stadium, all was fine.

I saw this news about sprint service in San Diego, it's not really news because were all frustrated by the slow progress throughout the county.

And I see they've been getting the same typical response we've heard from Sprint reps for how long now? It would be interesting to know what cell services other police/emergency agencies use, and have contracts with throughout SD county.

And San Diego is not getting 800Mhz anytime soon which cannot cover the gap. 4G coverage has not improved for the past 3-6 months.  They need to hurry up with the 4G coverage.

 

Voice hasn't been so great lately, getting too many drop calls.  Pre-NV we rarely drop calls, now today when driving cannot even hold on a call.

Totally agree! For the past 2 1/2 weeks, I can't use my phone that much at home, due to very poor or no service. I've called Sprint about the issue many times, and everytime I call, I'm speaking with someone from overseas on the line explaining the issues I'm having. No credits given toward my bill, no effort to which towers are down and/or upgraded.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No specific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
