I see the 5G icon, but zooming into Chicago loop or Washington DC on the mall only shows 4G, even with the v50 selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the official four launch cities. 5G coverage is displayed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkyeager Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Four launch cities: Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Kansas next round a few weeks later: Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix and Washington, D.C. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAvirani Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 It looks like Union Extended LTE has been added to the Coverage Map in Wyoming. It only shows up on the 5G coverage map though... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notsrealinc Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Sprint updated the 5G network performance page: Quote 5G network*: Expect to experience download speeds of 115-255Mbps and upload speeds of 1-5Mbps with an average device to network edge round-trip latency of 30-56ms. The average speed and latency of our 5G network is suitable for video and audio streaming, web browsing and other general Internet usage consistent with Sprint's terms and conditions. * We expect network speeds will continue to improve as we optimize the 5G network and add new capabilities. https://coverage.sprint.com/important_coverage_info_popup.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber5.0 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Parts of Omaha showing 5gWhat device did you select? That is probably the old LTE Plus map. Some devices seem to be incorrectly showing that, and will just show LTE if you click through to the coverage tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verizon's MM-WAVE 5G has horrid coverage, in reality cant really compare, but Sprint's using 40 or 60Mhz block of 5G NR thats peaking around 800mbs... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The benefit of Sprint's 5G network is that at least you have contiguous coverage, both indoors and outdoors and even while driving around. With mmWave, if you aren't within direct line of sight of a cell site, your speeds will drop to below Sprint advertised average speeds. Also mmWave signal is pretty much non-existent if you have so much as a pane of glass in the way. Peak performance ≠ Average performance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Sprint just aggregating multiple 20Mhz blocks on LTE and calling it a day? For LTE yeah. Sprint has real 5G NR, just like everyone else. The difference is VZW/ATT/TMobile are aggregating multiple (4 and 5) 50/100MHz channels. Sprint is deploying 60? MHz for 5G. Nothing wrong with the 60Mhz since we are talking UHF vs K/Ka bands. Pros and cons to both deployments. Edited June 28, 2019 by red_dog007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
