tommym65 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I thought it might be interesting to compare the Sensorly 4G LTE maps of Sprint, The Dark Side (AT&T), and Verizon. Clearly, Sprint is behind The Dark Side, but only very slightly behind. Even Verizon, while it has very broad coverage, is rather spotty and incomplete. (Maps were collected at about 7:00 PM EST, Tuesday, November 20.) (Also, we should probably note that Sprint LTE mappers are obsessed, and many are likely to be deranged :jester: and may drive many, many miles trying to find that elusive LTE, while Dark Side and Verizon mappers may be slightly more normal.) (Thanks to Dkoellerwx for helping me show the full US map. Click on each image to see it in a larger size.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 To see the whole US, click the fullscreen button on the upper right side of the map course, then you can't switch between providers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahum365 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The coverage maps here in Baltimore are really really exaggerated. Sprint coverage maps show LTE in almost 2/3s of the market. In reality, it's about half that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpenceSouth Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Sprint is definitely in the race by the looks of it. Poor T-Mobile.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansltx Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Wouldn't call 'em poor. Most places they have DC-H+ right now is a switch-flip away from LTE-A, so I've heard. We'll see if that pans out in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesinclair Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 To be fair, if you look at the 3G maps, AT&T users dont do much mapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynyrd65 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 To be fair, if you look at the 3G maps, AT&T users dont do much mapping. Yeah, they have to deal with data caps. Sprint users could care less. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from a little old Note 2 Checked the data usage on my phone for sensorly last month. It had used 315mb of data, if you only get 2gb you might not want to use the program that much.

JohnHovah Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Did you have the "Report to Server" "Only Over WiFi" box checked? I don't think most Sprint users ever have to go that far 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
