The LTE upgrade didnt really hit Wildwood until after about the 10th of October, before that you could get very bad LTE in the center of Wildwood, The towers are located at Garfield and New Jersey Avenues.  BlueAngle, Im just about 100% certain you will be happy this Summer.

 

 Willm: Cape May is still being upgraded, though the area around the Lobster House restaurant is good, you have to use Sprint zone and document bad coverage when you find it to let them know the network issues

No, your post is what is wrong.  It violates S4GRU rules.  We do not host Sprint complaints.   http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1197-s4gru-posting-guidelines-aka-the-rulez/   So, one of our moder

You say that.  Yet the Northern Jersey market had nearly 30 upgrade updates last month.  More than most other markets.  And Central Jersey had a good showing with 13 updates.  It's still happening.  I

hmmm it seems to be going faster by you... but i think spark deployment in east brunswick is underway because i got 55 to 60 for a download speed and for upload i got 20 mpbs .....but their lte coverage still really lacks in my area of east brunswick.... the funny thing is evdo gets a better signal then 1X i m suprised ...lol and also i can atually stream internet radio without needing wifi :) they have improved lol but have a long way to go lol no SMR here yet for voice or lte yet lol... :)

Why does the 3g tower, I'm always connected to at home, not show at all on any of the update maps? Does this mean they are not going to update this tower at all?

sometimes they take longer to update other towers...i used to get crap for service when i had them....now i get better reception but i get a stronger evdo signal....but still no lte within a 5 plus mile radius of my house they have a long way to go lol but its a start

So I did this a couple times since you mentioned it. Are you supposed to hear back from them at all? Each time I've done it I've had no response.

Was driving around in the Mount Laurel and Marlton area the other day. Had constant LTE all over the place. Wish it was like that in Northern Burlington County where it is mostly 3G with some LTE here and there. I'm hoping Northern Burlington will be mostly LTE by summer.

From my past experience in Woodbridge, it seems like a good chunk of Clear sites were upgraded to support Band 41. Also to note, Old Bridge has band 25 and unoptimized band 26, experienced it at the Outback.

alittle while back ......i was in old bridge no lte...just 3g

How would I find the update information for a tower that I'm always connected to by my house, but is not on any of the maps? All the other towers around here have at least B25, but of course this one is just 3g.

Just came back from visiting my in laws in Monroe. It seems everywhere I went had slow data speeds. Almost like Sprint doesn't even care about this part of the state. Or perhaps Verizon has a monopoly in the area? I would think by now there would be resources to ramp up implementation of 4G LTE. Guess not... =\

This contrasts to the Boston area... most places i get a solid LTE connection of some kind... mostly defaulting to the band 26

It has been slow in this state. I'm from south jersey and you get good coverage as you get closer to the bridges to Philly but for the most part it's spotty. The 3g does work a whole hell of lot better than it did a few years back though.

      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 price 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....
