ab30494 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Just curious what is everyone's download speed of you home ISP vs Sprint's This is with cox Slow day for me. I usually get around 5 down average at my house. Go a few blocks down and i get 20 mbps down often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckinohio1 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) i get about 1.5Mbps down and at least 768K upload on sprint. home ISP is Time warner with the 30/5 package. when or if sprint ever launches LTE here on 1900MHz it would probably be faster but just because the upload would be faster.

S4GRU Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Sprint is a long ways from getting near my 200Mbps download and 30Mbps upload I have at home with Midcontinent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JossMan Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I think we should refrain from comparing speed performance on home ISPs to cellular data networks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrknowitall526 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Sprint IS my home ISP at the moment and it's usually around at least 1 Mbps but it really does depend. The other day it was like 300 kB. Of course this is all on 3G. No LTE here yet. Supposed to be able to get Verizon DSL in two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckinohio1 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) now that i think about it i am questioning the relevance of this topic. maby once or IF sprint ever gets into the wireless broadband industry seriously that we can start comparing coverage and speeds to other home ISPs i think this would be a great thread. but right now? hmmm im not so sure. OP im not bashing you or anything its just i think this thread should be saved for the future of "if" or "when" sprint becomes a serious ISP. it is interesting to think about though.

IamMrFamous07 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Sprint is a long ways from getting near my 200Mbps download and 30Mbps upload I have at home with Midcontinent. Can this be achievable next year once they agreegate 60mhz of spectrum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxyguy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Sprint is faster than my home ISP. Fastest speed I can get through Shentel dsl (only wired ISP in my area) is 10 down / 1 up. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 My home ISP hits speeds of 127 Mbps down and 50 up. Sprint peak speeds in my area are 80 down and 14 up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonsteele Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm using a Netgear LTE Gateway 6100D and Sprint as my ISP until TWC gets up off their ass and repairs the damaged cable feed from the curb to my house. This is a speed test on B41, the tower is about a mile and a half from me 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahum365 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Pretty close as far as the download speed. FiOS 50/50: Sprint B41: Edited October 12, 2014 by nahum365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexgencpu Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Cool thread, my ISP and my Sprint speeds are almost equal... Cablevision 60/30 Sprint (B41) 30/15 peak times 45/15 off-peak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try ookla speedtest, tends to be a bit more accurate due to closer servers. that ping time is definitely not quite right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanm1978 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 My home ISP = AT&T DSL...just waiting on something better to come along (likely, years from now - even with fiber under my drive...) http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3821991987 Sprint band 25 (no 41/26 near me..but I do have a couple 41/26 tests...41 from Atlanta and 26 from McComb, MS) http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/940776041 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxsilver Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 This is from my home in Grand Rapids: Comcast Residental Cable Internet : AT&T dry-loop DSL for Business, now-rebranded "Uverse" : - - - Wireless - - - My Sprint LG G3, on -90dbm of Band 26 LTE : 0.32mb down, 1.16mb up My T-Mobile Nexus 5, on AWS LTE : 20.04mb down, 11.89mb up I don't know if this counts or not, since it isn't my device. But a friend has been playing with his new iPhone 6 on Verizon here, and we got their "XLTE" AWS LTE service around the beginning of this year: 114.91mb down, 31.22mb up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockerengr Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 DL speeds, my home internet (Cox) is usually much faster, but uploads however, Sprint usually matches and sometimes smokes my home ISP. (5-6mbps up for home internet, 4-20 up on Sprint) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlbattagli Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Local DSL provider (Iserv): 0.64Mbps up / 0.34 Mbps down / ping 49 ms Band 24 (@ around -112 dBm): 2.13 Mbps up / 0.22 Mbps down / ping 87 ms 3G (@ around -83 dBm): 0.54 Mbps up / 0.23 Mbps down / ping 96ms DSL is the *only* option (other than satellite) for broadband in my neighborhood. The local ISP was the only one that would offer DSL to my house at the time, and they warned me not to expect top of the range speeds, as I was at the limit of distance from the CO. I signed up anyway, and have had excellent service from them. The funny part is, they resell service over AT&T's line, who had told me that DSL was unavailable in my area; 18 months later, I started to get spammed relentlessly by AT&T, wanting me to switch to *their* DSL . Just one more reason to hate AT&T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshieZ Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well... My home ISP is through my little Sierra 250U modem (yes I know, I should upgrade to the router, but don't have the extra $$ at the moment) since I live out in the middle of no where, where there is no cable or DSL available... maybe someday. Lets just say I'm VERY thankful for Sprint! So this is what I get through my Sierra 250U modem & Cradlepoint MBR95 router: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/1003883122 And here is my LG G3 at a -79 signal on B26: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/1003874804 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
