This is not directly LTE related but are any of you guys/gals having issues with MMS still? I recall a nation wide issue last week where people were having issues but its been a good 8-9 days still.

 

Upgraded to latest modem L710VPBMA4

On latest PRL 25010

 

Tried on bone stock rom and Cyanogen 10.1

At the Nationals Game today! My iPhone XS automatically connected to a private WiFi network “provided by Sprint” at Nationals Park. Check out the data speeds here during the game. Nice

I continue to be amazed at how quickly upgrades are occurring.  Yesterday I drove to visit my parents and then today I drove back.  On my way down, I had LTE all the way from my home next to the Hunti

Hey does anyone know the Network Vision status in DC?

 

 

 

Thanks,

Rob!

 

It's an active deployment area. Each site goes live after it completes and passes inspection. Some sites go live every week. That will happen until the whole market is covered.

I noticed that my phone goes to roaming when I am at home for the last couple of days. I used to have a very good signal while I was at home. May be they are upgrading the towers nearby. I live in Reston near the Reston town center. Waiting for the market to go live to upgrade to an LTE device.

Been seeing some LTE pop up in Manassas on sensorly. I have an appointment to do my taxes there this week so I'll probably roam around a bit and see if I can't pick up any new points.

 

Starting to wonder when/if they'll "bridge the gap" between all these spots in VA. (Front Royal, Manassas, Herndon, Reston, and DC). It'd be nice to smoothly stream spotify while driving around the area.

Any update for LTE in the Bethesda area? Thank you so much for your help and updates!

As Sensorly indicates, if you want to see LTE then roam in the area of Liberia and Wellington, near Harris Teeter. The tower closest that location is confirmed live.

I too had full LTE service at the Convention Center for the auto show. It was awesome. Downstairs not much signal, but upstairs and outside full signal.

 

Also, I saw crews laying fiber for WA33XC928 today in Reston.

Its just curiosity lol i cant go there just wondering cause in map looks like almost al sites are nv complete

From what I can tell there's not a huge difference between downtown DC and up north in MoCo as far as 3G goes. I don't have too many complaints in either place. Where there has been LTE deployed downtown though... that's a different story! Hop on the red line and get off at Chinatown. You'll see.

I didn't see much LTE on Saturday at the Auto Show besides in the convention center itself. 3G wasn't bad in MoCo though. Had no problem using Tapatalk while we were at Chipotle in Silver Spring.

4G just came online near exit 160 on I-95. This is the Occoquan/Woodbridge area.

 

That site was just accepted yesterday. It's already on our Sponsor maps too. Thanks for the report. :tu:

it varies tower to tower depending on the load. Just like in my area (Riverdale) two towers close by one I can pull down 2mbps while the other I can barely hit 200kbps

Been getting 4G at home in the Hyattsville/Mount Rainier MD area since Friday! Almost didn't want to leave the house lol.

 

I did go to the Car Show Sunday, I wasn't expecting a 4G signal so I set my phone to CDMA only while I was there :( .

Why flip from CDMA/LTE mode? I see no difference in battery life at all nor ever have.

      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....
