If you had a handset as old as your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on VZW, you would lack band 2 and/or band 4.  On AT&T, you would lack carrier aggregation, band 29, and band 30.  On T-Mobile, you would l

Wow, came home today to B25 LTE! I am so happy, lol. Only got 4-5 Mbps down, but who cares right now about since I finally have it. This is the tower right near the 5 freeway and Red Hill in Tustin. J

Looks like LTE towers are still on, the one in Brea is working, and the ones in Garden Groove too. Did so mapping again but dont see any updates on Sensorly. :(

 

LTE in Garden Grove is sooo slow. I had to turn off the LTE because the 3G was faster. :unsure:

Really? I did a speed test yesterday and results were 11 down, 4 up. Not slow for me.

 

Also, there is only 2 sites broadcasting LTE, and LTE signal is more sensible than 3G so that might be the reason.

Lucky..haha I get about 2 bars of LTE. Highest I got was 5.65 or something for down. Just wondering, where do you live? Looks like your signal is way stronger than mine ahah.

Just registered on this board to let you guys know that I just picked up LTE inside my house with my Note 2! Approximate location of the nearest cell tower is 17th Street and Prospect Ave in North Tustin/Santa Ana area. I was picking up about two-three bars and got a good 5-8 Mbps on three seperate Speedtests and the signal comes in and out, but is good.

You guys do realize that the signal strength the top of your phone doesn't indicate signal strength of 3G/4G. That's just voice coverage.

Will do! Just an update, I went out of my house and down the street to the actual intersection of 17th Street and Prospect in Tustin and consistently got 20Mbps-30Mbps! Now that's fast!

I'll be at Angel Stadium this Thursday. I want to map out more of the area around the 5 freeway and Ball Road. There are a couple of purple blips on the Sensorly map that I want to verify. I heard 4g is not available in that area even though the Sensorly map shows otherwise.

Gah can't believe it's baseball season already. In other news, I dunno about everyone else but when I use sensorly online I don't see a lot of the area I feel should already be mapped out. I zoomed all the way in on the map and all the mapped areas appeared. So if you wanna see where 4g is truly, just zoom way in.

With the exception of a very small number of cell sites, all sites including ones labeled 3G will eventually be upgraded with LTE

I could give an exact number of those sites for OC, however I'd need Robert's permission to post that here since that info is only available in the Subscriber section.

      https://www.lightreading.com/6g/5g-advanced-arrives-with-3gpp-s-release-18 Wonder how long until T-Mobile moves on this? My guess is some by the Galaxy S25 in January or February.

      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.
