FACTUAL coverage comparison (Verizon's LTE comparison but using sensorly data)


Recommended Posts

Posted

The existing network footprint should be pretty much fixed by the end of this year, but perception always lags reality.

This is how people think. Well if Sprint service is bad right here, it must be bad in the entire city. In reality, 90% of the city is covered and you happen to be in an area with 2 towers undergoing upgrades. Oh I'm inside the Sprint store and I have 5 bars and LTE, but the tower is less than .5 miles away. Of course you're going to have excellent indoor penetration. Therefore, all buildings will have great indoor penetration (specifically b25)....Wrong. Which then leads to complains online. (Tmobile is even more familiar with that) on why they had good coverage the sprint store but not in a movie theater. Tricky tricky. 

 

And this is why Triband will be so useful. Most people won't be able to go anywhere without either having amazing LTE, or exceptional CMDA

Appartentlly I have 2 accounts on this site that I totally forgot about, I am unbale to log in to my account I use when I am on my computer so I guess ill post it with this account since I am using my phone at the moment ( live near Rochester, NY I post fairly often, j...............13, I am sure you could find me if you looked (I purposlly left out some of my username on purpose beacuse I dont remember my whole username with out opening a new tab and searching for myself here on my phone....lol)..... Anyways I just got a new phone from work today (8/4/2014), and I had issues with this carrier before and I knew they didnt change since I had them last.  Yes this is a flip phone but even the new smartphones are the same here at my place.... It is a 1X/3G phone the 3G SOMETIMES does show up, but that only happens when I go outside.....

It would be cool to see an updated comparison of all 4 sensorly maps....

    • Was it like only 1.2MB?  I had a tiny one last night but no date change as I was already on November here.
    • A new apartment building in my neighborhood is getting a 4G/5G DAS installed. No idea if it's going to be carrier agnostic or if it's going to be just for one carrier. The antennas they are using cover the full range of spectrum from 600MHz-4.9GHz so no telling by equipment alone. I noticed a ton of Cat6E ethernet being run in the garage a couple of days back and then I saw a guy running the ethernet through the ceiling yesterday and didn't think to ask what for until I noticed this antenna this morning mounted on a wall outside near the ramp but with nothing connected to it at the moment.     The garage attendant told me that the phones that are provided to them by the parking management company are on Verizon and they're the only carrier without coverage down there so the building management told them that they're "installing something to fix it". So as far as I know, this will work on Verizon but I'm curious to see who else will get a boost too. — — — — — Without exaggerating, I have mapped a new at least one new small cell on my way to work every day this week. I don't know who the regional network managers for NYC and Boston are, but other cities need to take a page from their book about small cell buildouts. And it's not just upgrades of existing small cells, it's new ones too. Not to mention pings near 10ms on all of them.
    • Yep, 562.51MB December 1 sec patch just found here tonight as well.
