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.

Okay, so I think I may deactivate the One and go back to the GNex. Comparing the signal strength between the 2 of them the One always seems to have a lower signal strength between 7 and 10dbm less than the GNex at the same point. I have discovered that even with a deactivated phone you can still map with sensorly. I hope this holds true with the One because of the LTE sim card. I will try and let you guys know.

Numbers can be deceiving. Compare the readings when both become unusable before you decide. One may read - 110 and be unusable and the other reads - 118 and still getting good data rates.

Made another delivery to a rural area near Waterloo and the LTE speeds were ridiculous. 35+ up 12+ down on 6 different checks over a 3 hour period. I was surfing the net like a BOSS!

If you are still down that way if you could grab engineering that would be great

Hey, is there any map that shows all of the Sprint towers (both upgraded and not) in a certain area?  network.sprint.com seems to show some info, but I'm pretty sure it's not showing every tower location.

 

 

In fact there is! In our Sponsors section we have maps that show every single Sprint site in the market, and Lilg has put together a map that shows which sites have received upgrades and which have not. You do have to be a sponsor to see these maps, but it's very much worth it!

 

Network.Sprint.com only shows sites that have received work in the last 6 months. Once an update is older than 6 months, it falls off the map. Sites that haven't received any work at all won't be on the map either.

Can anyone try doing some mapping around Wentzville?

I will try to get some tomorrow, my shop is off A but I drive all over the metro. Should have time after work to plot n,z, etc

The crossed lines have gotten way worse. Tried to call a client who has Sprint today and we got someone completely wrong and apparently the recipients phone said that we were calling from their house. That would be creepy.

Does anybody know if that purple just north of 370 near hwy B is a active tower?

Nothing really close to there. I think we are going to find that plot came from a site a long way of. Maybe down the river, maybe even all the way from Winfield. When I first saw purple there if followed the rail line or whatever that track is. Since then its grown some.

 

.... Stevo beat me to an answer...

No thats fringe

 

So I went out there prior to you responding to check it out and I definitely was able to get a LTE signal. I didn't get to go far in there because there was a private road sign and I had my daughter so I didn't go back any further. I didn't have the EVO with me so I couldn't get the SCID that you guys want but I did get the one from my S3.

Will go back in the day time to get the SCID with the EVO. Just don't know when.

That's the Buccheit site....impressive. And no need, we already have the Hex.

!

44 matches what I call Cottleville one.

 

That is pretty impressive. But what I don't get is if that tower is reaching that far why wouldn't I get LTE in between there and the tower.

      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....
