Found this video posted on youtube on sept 1st 2013..

 

Guy in Tampa Bay Florida hits nearly 50 M/bits down on his iPhone 5 using Sprint LTE & you can see wifi is off..

 

I've run my share of Speedtests before, but man talk about overburdening a network...from what I understand about Sprint's 5x5 LTE deployment, those speeds aren't even possible which means that has got to be a jailbroken iPhone where the user changed the carrier name. Maybe once band 41 is deployed that could happen and we all know that the 5s isn't capable of that band, but especially not a 5.

Really?? Second post and we're already starting this?

Guys...let's be respectful of people's choice of smartphone platform. iOS is a perfectly viable platform for many S4GRU members. There really isn't a better OS, there is just a better one for you.

haha sorry.. this is by far the fastest speed Ive heard of considering ( I mean ) over 1900 LTE

Yeah that has to be it..

 

The fastest I've had  in Columbus Ohio ( Only 2 towers active within the outer belt ) was around 18 down..most test revealed around 12 to 16.. which isn't bad

posted you above, but have you tried to single LTE in Akron ?

Well, I'm not immune to running some Speedtests - I drive by the tower at Rt 18 & I-71 in Medina pretty regularly and of the tests I've run I get upper 20's down and between 5-8 up, but that's typically off peak times.

It is possible to see these speeds using the Speedtest.net app. It does not mean you are actually getting these speeds. I have seen this happen on my phone before. What is happening is either the Speedtest app is flaking out, or there is an issue with the server being used for the test. Come back later and you don't see those speeds, use a different app and you don't see those speeds.

The local news covered the line in front of the Apple store in Jacksonville. Apparently, the Apple store is giving out free Sunny D and pop tarts to everyone in line. I wish I got free Sunny D and pop tarts when I got my Evo..

What, no Hot Pockets?  Nothing goes better with high fructose corn syrup and only five percent juice than some dirty meat inside a pastry.

In a time of desperate hunger I ate a ham and cheese hot pocket. I'll never forget the day that plasticy, molten, unchewable ham burned my bottom lip as the sun-like cheese leaked onto my finger cuticle. I have no doubt that ham and cheese hot pockets deserve to be added to the banned chemical weapons in the Geneva Protocol. I did not finish the so-called "snack" and resorted to eating a pack of lifesavers which truly were worthy of their namesake.

So to bring stuff full circle, in all honesty, the idea of not having tri-band support really shouldn't hold anyone off from buying the phone, especially if they can use the One Up program.

Unless you live in the IBEZ where 800 won't exist (for the near future anyway) and band 41 is already active...maybe I'm the only one disappointed it's not tri-band.

You're not, I am extremely displeased that it lacks band 41. My brother in NYC will never access the band, and it is deployed to his doorstep.  He however doesn't care, wooh IOS 7 & a shiny iPhone  :frantic:

Screw you buddy, go tip some cows :P

 

Wait, is it a required social convention to tip COWs?  Is there a tip jar placed nearby?  What is the expected percentage?  15 percent?  And is that 15 percent based on pro rata monthly bill or actual usage that day?

I got up at 3am and hit up my local Sprint store around 3:45. Was first in line, and got the phone I wanted (64gb Space Gray). I LOVE being able to use LTE finally. My first speedtest was 10mbps down. I creamed myself lmao! So far the phone is great :D

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By wispiANt · Posted

      Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Starlink (1900mhz) for T-Mobile, AST SpaceMobile (700mhz and 850mhz) for AT&T, GlobalStar (unknown frequency) for Apple, Iridium (unknown frequency) for Samsung, and AST SpaceMobile (850mhz) for Verizon only work on frequency bands the carrier has licensed nationwide.  These systems broadcast and listen on multiple frequencies at the same time in areas much wider than normal cellular market license areas.  They would struggle with only broadcasting certain frequencies only in certain markets so instead they require a nationwide license.  With the antennas that are included on the satellites, they have range of cellular band frequencies they support and can have different frequencies with different providers in each supported country.  The cellular bands in use are typically 5mhz x 5mhz bands (37.5mbps total for the entire cell) or smaller so they do not have a lot of data bandwidth for the satellite band covering a very large plot of land with potentially millions of customers in a single large cellular satellite cell.  I have heard that each of Starlink's cells sharing that bandwidth will cover 75 or more miles. Satellite cellular connectivity will be set to the lowest priority connection just before SOS service on supported mobile devices and is made available nationwide in supported countries.  The mobile device rules pushed by the provider decide when and where the device is allowed to connect to the satellite service and what services can be provided over that connection.  The satellite has a weak receiving antenna and is moving very quickly so any significant obstructions above your mobile device antenna could cause it not to work.  All the cellular satellite services are starting with texting only and some of them like Apple's solution only support a predefined set of text messages.  Eventually it is expected that a limited number of simultaneous voice calls (VoLTE) will run on these per satellite cell.  Any spare data will then be available as an extremely slow LTE data connection as it could potentially be shared by millions of people.  Satellite data from the way these are currently configured will likely never work well enough to use unless you are in a very remote location.

      will this work for service in a plane?

      T-Mobile owns the PCS G-block across the contiguous U.S. so they can just use that spectrum to broadcast direct to cell. Ideally your phone would only connect to it in areas where there isn't any terrestrial service available.

      So how does this whole direct to satellite thing fit in with the way it works now? Carriers spend billions for licenses for specific areas. So now T-Mobile can offer service direct to customers without having a Terrestrial license first?
