Nice "sales" pitch - can we please keep it "short" and on subject!  Thank you.

 

Sorry, but you don't get to decide who posts what. Nothing he posted was against site rules, nor was it truly off topic. It was simply an introduction. If something is against the rules, one of the Staff will take care of it. If you think the staff missed something, please use the report button rather than calling someone out.

 

Thank you.

That's one of the two you reported Tuesday. Site 06E011, sector 01

I was very close to the Atlantic Ave site and I was getting great signal strength on signal check app. I was wondering if it was broadcasting already.

I see what you mean on sensorly... but none the less you reported that ID tuesday. I'd do a closer inspection of both sites.

Hey guys,

 

Quick intro: been watching this thread for a minute, but never really had anything to contribute until now. I live in midtown (Tucson) but drive all over the city. Electrical engineer, total nerd :-P

 

And now to the contribution... I was at Reid Park yesterday & got limited 4G (2Mpbs DL). Mapped it on Sensorly so it should be up by now.

 

Thanks to all ppl who have shared their 4G experiences on here...let's hope the love keeps coming!

Eliz,

 

Thank you for your contribution, but please be careful mapping with Sensorly using your Galaxy Nexus. It's got a bug where when the signal starts to fade out it will suddenly pretend it has really strong signal where it has almost none, and map it as such. This can be seen where you were eastbound on 22nd and your signal cut out at Alvernon. It's so noticable that when I glanced at sensorly this morning my first thought was "Aww crap, someone's mapping with a Gnex".

 

Even without sensorly you can still make significant contributions by getting LTE engineering screen shots and the locations they came from which we can use to determine if the signal you're getting is from an existing tower or a new one.

TechSmurf, can you check this engineering screen. I think another tower is up in Yuma.. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

We can only hope...... The 2 (?) currently up are hit and miss in the daytime unless your very close to them.

Yes, I'm getting spoiled with the LTE tease, I want more......

 

Hypeo; Thanks for keeping an eye out for new towers.

Again, thanks.

      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....
