This is not a question specific to Tucson but I arrived to Dallas today with my new iPhone 5S and although LTE is everywhere the speeds I have seen so far are anywhere between 400k and 4mb down and 200k and 4 mb up, I was sitting inside a restaurant and my LTE brought down 600k while my friend VZ brought down 23 MB, are these the speeds we should expect from Sprint? Not a rant but truly an honest question.

 

Thanks

No. That is not typical. But there are already areas that need a second carrier. High traffic areas in Dallas, Houston and Chicago especially. Sprint is deploying additional LTE carriers in three bands to improve speeds.

 

Even Verizon speeds were plummeting below 1Mbps in many areas. They are deploying a second carrier now too.

naw, I pull 23 down 6 up inside my home on the far east side and my friend on verizon gets less than 1 down 1 up, that's if he doesn't get the *network error* message.

Verizon was getting really bad here too. But once they deployed AWS LTE, it improved. But it sure is nice when you can outperform the Verizon groupies. In some places, VZW LTE 750 is dog slow.

If its the one located on 3E and 40th. Sprint is located on the second tier; the top one is At&t. If the crews are working on the second tier, they might be making final adjustments to the antennas to go live. Same thing happened to the one on Atlantic Ave before it went live. The crews were adjusting the location of the antennas, then about a couple days later the site went live.

It was not that tower then I saw the crews working on. It was the one a little further north (like 1/8 mile) off 3e, right by the little shopping center and Jack in the box and Chevron.

If its the one right across the street from that shopping center, then yes it is. Should be just on the other south side of the street on 40th street. There are two carriers on that site. Top one is At&t bottom one is Sprint.

I have noticed a LOT of cell tower work in Yuma, for all carriers.

The towers on Pacific & off of Riely have workers on them. (Not sure as to which panels they are working on). 

It is nice to be "Official" now.....    :rasp:  :lol:  :tu:  :o

 

Lateck,

Lateck,

AT&T is very active in Yuma. They are working in a few towers simultaneously, including the one on Riley Ave. They have crews on that one, I8 and 10E, San Luis AZ, Gadsden, Somerton Ave and Co 12 1/2, and Ave C and 8th Street.

 

Maybe that's why Sprint don't have anyone working locally, AT&T has them all employed.

Sorry to burst the bubble. The crews are working on the at&t top rack. That psych pass been 3g accepted with new NV panels for over a month. The bottom rack where the cres are working are the Sprint's NV panels.

Dang, could have sworn I saw them working on the 2nd tier at one point. I am getting older though, mind must be playing tricks on me

      SignalCheck Beta Crew Forum

      I was traveling for a couple of days.   Sunday evening, I upload from 3 phones.  A S-22 and two Moto 5G phones.  Everything looked ok.    How do we explain that?   One person has issues and another person does not.  All my phones have the latest update.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.
