If it was Comcast, go in to one of their Xfinity stores and talk to a customer service rep -- they will almost always roll back pricing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dean Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Is Sprint reporting data issues in the Nashville area? I can use voice and text but no data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ase500 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 MegabyteSo you have a 5gbps connection. May I ask who you get internet though and what router you use. Most SOHO routers will not handle anything above 1gbps on the WAN side and most wireless clients would never see above 1gbps at best.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know they offering more than 1Gbps (100 Megabyte) speeds for home ISP. 600MB/s is fast. We have 10Gbps servers maybe 10Gbps connections will be the new norm for home ISP. I have a 300Mbps (megabits) internet and Cox will be offering 1Gbps soon.

kg4icg Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 ISP's states there speeds in megabits, not megabytes, storage oem's like western digital and Samsung state there capacity in megabytes not megabits, people get that confused. So 603 megabits per secong is 75.365megabytes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 My university's internet makes out at a symmetrical 1Gbps while wired but I know it can go higher since I've seen it peak at 1.2Gbps. Over WiFi it'll reach about as high as 400Mbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingenium Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Not sure that is even possible to push 600MB/s (6Gbps) on a home Wi-Fi wireless. It is 600Mbps (megabits)? It isn't possible. 600 megabits is about the limit of 802.11ac in my experience.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony.spina97 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Quick question. I'm going to Canada (Vancouver) in a couple of days. I recently moved off of my parent's account and to my own, and am now on the Unlimited Freedom plan with Sprint Premium International experience. I see that I get included highspeed/4G LTE data in Canada with this service, and I was just wondering if anyone knew how much data I get? I will only be there for 4-5 days, so I probably won't need a lot, but I am just curious. Thanks! -Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer speeds are in bits storage are in bytes. Confusing the two causes some outsiders to also be confused by what speeds you are talking about due to the 8x difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like central Jersey which is a part of New York City? And the LTE has gotten quicker here...but what about filling in the LTE gaps here.... serious work still needs to be done with The LTE service Gaps. But overall network quality has improved along the main highway. So far so good...just improve the coverage off the main highway and I ll jump back on Sprint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyroned3222 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I just wanted to ask with the merger still on going..how far behind is sprint still ? I can only speak for my market and although sprint is moving here with upgrades they still lack density in the area.. sprint announcing a few more 5G markets.. means they are seeing the plan through .. which in any case they would have to Incase the merger doesn't get approved. What are sprint current pops on LTE without any roaming Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
