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.

I agree, LTE coverage is very good in South Jersey as long as you stay north of Depford and south of Mount Laurel. Elsewhere, it seems like there have not been many LTE improvements for the last several months especially in the more rural areas.

 

Voice and 3G perform very well in most parts of South Jersey. Did a T Mobile test drive for a week. Dropped many calls in the rural areas and Edge data speeds were useless. However, wherever I did have 4g, the speeds were quite amazing. T Mobile LTE coverage is even more spotty than Sprint.

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

You are 100% right. Of course I'm just south of Deptford and have really spotty LTE coverage but like you said 3G does perform very well around here.

Yes, and of course, I am north of Mount Laurel and Mt. Holly where solid LTE ends.

Hopefully they start paying more attention to these areas of Jersey. It gets annoying when I keep dropping my LTE signal or not having it at all and people I'm with have no problems with other carriers.

I hear ya. I'm trying to wait it out and stay with Sprint cause they have improved in a lot of areas. Now I'm just hoping our area is soon.

I got the same exact problem. All the towers except the one I'm always connected to seem to be upgraded around here too. No smr either.

All in all though I gotta say there have been many improvements by Sprint. Most of the time when I'm driving around here I am connected to LTE especially as you get closer to the bridges to Philly so it's not all bad.

hey let's wake this thread up :( we need to get people posting again

Im actually surprised how quiet this thread gets, especially based on how crowded Jersey is. My area is still the same. Most has been upgraded to LTE but there's still those areas that drop to 3g like my home tower. The 3g is decent though, 1-1.5 Mbps.

      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....
