gman561 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I live in boca raton an tonight im waiting for the presidential debate so i decided to do some speeds test an cam across very slow speeds. This has been going on for a while but its getting worse. Is it because lte is being installed? Even though i have not seen evidence of it. What could be the reason. At the end of september i was getting 1 to 2.6 mbps now i get 0.14mbps-0.28mbps. I cant down load a movie with out wifi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerxx Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 How can this be a good thing? When upgrades started on NV in the Chicago Market, you would see slower than even the slowest speeds before. Might mean upgrades have started in your area. There is one 4G tower relatively close to you. You should donate and become a sponsor, you can see the maps!

Where should the modem or what ever u call it should it be behind the pannel? Also should there be a difference in the cabinet size at the bottom of the tower?

More here. whole shite thats a great pic. lol i kinda want to go look at some towers but i feel like i would be waisting my time. i heard people say deployment is under way in boca raton. but i live in west boca raton(more inland) and i only found one tower that was being upgraded to lte an i just happen to walk up to the tower an there were guys working on it an i asked if they were installing lte an they said yes but i didnt ask what carrier cause the one tower has several carriers on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
