In my experience, rural northeast Missouri Sprint does really well especially with being able to roam to us cellular and get 3g with a corporate prl. T mobile has poor coverage even in Troy and wide farther north, Verizon isn't as good but should roam fine and at&t is good till you get a little farther north and the price difference is significant.

Thanks to the selflessness of one of our members I now have a new shiny HTC ONE to play with! I am speechless! Its only a loaner but this is amazing!

Last night I had the Mifi at Urban Chestnut for an event and was pulling crazy good Band 41 LTE. I was feeling cocky, so I challenged friends with a Verizon phone & AT&T phone to a speedtest.

I'm in the Lake of the Ozarks area and get a lot of LTE but most of it shows I'm connected to it but can't get any data from it. Also all outside when I go inside it reverts to 3G. Before it goes live etc do they turn it on but limit the data or something or what's up with that?

Check out the NV Sites Complete map. There's only one site live at the Lake of the Ozarks. (2 if you count the site halfway to Eldon.)

 

It's covering a lot of ground, and handling more connections than it is meant to. When more sites go live (end of the month / early March according to reports) that should help with coverage and data saturation.

 

The fact that your phone switches back to 3G inside means you had a pretty weak signal to begin with. Additional sites will help with that.

Good explanation. I figured they would be lit up real soon. Looking forward to that!

Around the Steak and Shake area where the sprint store is at and in lake Ozark by fired up BBQ. I live right behind there. Down HH where the live tower is is great.

I'm pulling 16 Mbbs INSIDE a FedEx terminal building! That has never happened before

I pulled 22 down inside of tuckers place at 141 & Manchester (on valentines day, had a chance for a speed test due to the wait lol). It was band 25 too, I made sure to check.

I work out of it everyday. The nearest tower is Vinita Park I do believe. Maybe they fixed something there.

 

It likely wasn't 800 LTE, but check your engineering screen next time and see what your UP/DL channels are. It's possible a second carrier was added. It's supposed to happen in areas where there is severe congestion, but we haven't seen any proof of it yet.

 

It's also possible that something happened to lessen the load on the site finally. Are you still on a GS4 or N5? I don't remember.

Not able to screen capture/upload but maybe this will help...

 

Serving CELL: 63  BAND: 25

 

Swipe side of palm across the screen. 

 

Looking for the Upload/Download channels. That will tell us if they added a new carrier, or if something just got fixed.

So there is a power outage in the area of I-64 & Rte 141. Do the tower have generators to run off of? I ask because my building I'm at has been running on generator for the pass 3 hours. I am now noticing that my phone is roaming on Verizon with no data. Two of my coworkers have ATT and they aren't getting service at all.

They usually have battery packs that they run off of.  I don't know how long the batteries will last for though.  I think they are a few that may have generators on site but as far as I know, the vast majority do not.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're price for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
