Anyone near the “The Big Game” today? How’s the coverage/speeds?

Live network statistics from Tutela users available here.

Ookla found that T-Mobile's network was the fastest, followed by Sprint, then Verizon, and finally AT&T.

So data usage is starting to roll out.

Tmobile up 38% (which is starting to turn useless. Because they haven't released a real number for years.

Att 11.5TB in and around the stadium. They also have lots of other numbers with different sets. Like 2 mile radius and weekend data usage.

Here’s Sprint’s stats: https://newsroom.sprint.com/sprint-scores-for-big-game.htm

Plan ahead! 😀

2020: South Florida, Hard Rock Stadium, Super Bowl 54

2021: Tampa, Raymond James Stadium, Super Bowl 55

2022: Los Angeles, Los Angeles Stadium, Super Bowl 56

2023: Glendale, University of Phoenix Stadium, Super Bowl 57

2024: New Orleans, Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Super Bowl 58

Another interesting article: https://www.mobilesportsreport.com/2019/02/super-bowl-53-smashes-wi-fi-record-with-24-tb-of-traffic-at-mercedes-benz-stadium/

Very detailed stats on Wi-Fi usage and the “take rate”.

Verizon also implemented Wi-Fi offloading: “autoconnect in play”

[Flompholph]

Looking at the Wifi usage of 492MB per user that makes tmobiles 129 MB per user look very very bad. I thought the 129MB looked strange before but when we comparing it to what was done on wifi. No wonder tmobile never shows total data used number. They most likely were able to send the fewest amount of data through their pipes.

Great question @Terrell352. Would definitely be helpful if it launches before The Big Game.

Would like to know this also. Florida has been a declining Sprint market according to RootMetrics.

Which I don't understand lots of Florida has both 3x41 and 15x15 B25. Now Miami is 3x41 and only 5x5 for everything else but still

I know for the West Palm/Miami market indoor reception reception is a big problem. A lot of concrete and steel building and only 5x5 of B26 which wasn't deployed initially at the start of LTE deployment. Cell spacing isn't the best either for the more residential areas.

Well hopefully the super bowl is changing all of that
