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.

I posted that same video on the NYC Market Thread , unacknowledged as always -_-

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.

One of the very 1st In depth iPhone 5s review at Anandtech... benches screen, fill rates of gpu, wifi speeds and cpu and battery against other iPhones and Androids.. good review.. and a strong showing by Apple overall

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

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
