Was at Busch Stadium tonight for the game and had band 41 but wasn't to great. Had -112 dBm and pulled around 3.8 down with a ping over 100. Very weak signal but my nexus 5 connected with no problems.

 

Did you check your engineering screen to verify you are on B41?

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.

-112 on B41 isn't as bad as the same level on 25/26. That said, you should have gotten way better throughput on b41 at that level. Are you certain you had band 41 and weren't getting 25/26 from another site?

Two weeks ago I got 40+ down on band41 at Busch. But i was in the upper decks. One of those times being in the uppers was an advantage. Looked like no one else was on band41. I had to force lte cause otherwise it wouldn't connect to band41. Maybe they fixed the efcab issue so now everyone (with a triband device) is on band41.

I did not check my engineering screen just went by scp. Im thinking it had to be though because my friends that were with me on iPhone 5c didn't have any LTE the whole game until we left.

What baseband are you running on your phone? Also the N5 is suppose to be the best RF performer out of Sprint devices.

I don't know now I'm not so sure if it was or not I guess I need to check the engineering screen more often. The reason I say that is scp was saying I was on band 41 now but when I went into engineering it said band 25. Either way I'm kinda disappointed unless band 41 coverage or speeds will improve at the stadium.

That is actually pretty spectacular for a stadium full of patrons! Typically a DAS is setup to handle stadiums of people, if with a weak signal you were still able to pull nearly 4mb/sec, that in itself, is awesome. Most carriers go DOA during crowded events.

Completely stock so I'm on the .13 radio.

 

Reason I asked is like MC_Gusto said and I have also had to do at the stadium we had to force LTE Only to connect to the nearby tower and I myself pulled 45mb down myself.

Busch Stadium is on track for a WiFi install during the all-star break. Post-break, you should get complimentary WiFi as a part of your admission to the game.

 

After all, MLB wants people connecting and talking about the game/game experience...

B26 on old highway 100 that fills in a pretty big gap in LTE coverage!

According to signal check I have it turned on. I'll try to pull it and PM it when I get home.

      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 priced 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....
