Sensorly 4G LTE Coverage Comparisons

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.)

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.

To see the whole US, click the fullscreen button on the upper right side of the map :tu:

course, then you can't switch between providers

 

Not even if you pay the ETF :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

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.

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.

And they apparently haven't looked at the data usage. Very very little data is used.

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.

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 :D

      A new 60MB GP System update was waiting when I checked my S24+ tonight.  And bringing it to a November 1 date this time.

      Drove by there and it definitely isn't on the Northlake property. It was very late, so I couldn't see much else though. Did some more sleuthing on GoogleMaps and I suspect it might be this powerline site nearby: Google Maps I will go by there in the next couple of days during the daytime and see if that's the case.

      Vinegar Hill is getting the Brooklyn Heights treatment now with regard to small cells. I mapped two more small cells in the neighborhood in the past few days so now T-Mobile is up to 8 of them in such a tiny neighborhood. While it's cool they're doing this since it means outdoors you get a consistent 400Mbps+ almost everywhere, it sucks because they're obviously deploying so many of them to make up for their lack of a macro site in the entire neighborhood. Because there isn't a macro, the small cells have a greater coverage area than you see in other neighborhoods and you often connect to them while indoors but coverage and speeds fall off indoors much faster on small cells than on macros in my experience.  Even Dish has better coverage than T-Mobile in Vinegar Hill since they added the site on top of the Extra Space Storage building alongside AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile needs to get in line with their competitors there.
