I get .1 Mbps  some times even .01 Mbps on LTE when near there. Been that way for a couple weeks or more. I am still on my Note 2 and its by far the slowest I have seen when on LTE. When its the worst Tapatalk has problems connecting while I sit there munching on goodies from one of the fast food joints.

Are you down in the Dierberg's plaza when having issues? I've noticed that when connected to LTE down in that sort of valley (relative to the tower) my signal strength drops to -100 or below and my SNR values are low, between 0.1-2.0. Haven't ran a speedtest in that scenario though. But when I come up onto Veterans Memorial or Zumbehl, my signal strength and SNR both increase along with speeds, even on the same sector. I've always wondered what the deal is with that, some sort of interference maybe or just the elevation change. But if you're having issues with the site on all sectors, I don't know what could be the cause of that because that has not been my experience (on LTE at least).

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.

Looks like there's someone up in the tower again by the old Chrysler plant off 44

Forgot to post, but it looks like work has started on the site at I-64 and MO River. Saw a crew there yesterday with ropes hanging down, and today the ropes are gone. I think the new panels are mounted but I cannot tell for sure, there are a lot of Ericsson-looking panels on the tower and I can't really get a good look driving by on the highway.

Look for 4 boxes shaped like computer towers behind each panel. Like this.

I pass that site every morning. What time of day was that so I can try to be there and test my phone on that sector?

So I got the Spark update yesterday and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with added coverage I now receive from Band 41. I have picked up 13 new B41 towers that I never had been able to connect to. Pulling decent speeds even when at like -115. Pulled 12mb down at that signal.

That's my favorite part of Band 41. Speeds are good even with poor signals. I once got 10Mbps from a -130dBm signal. And I once pulled 3Mbps at -140dBm RSRP. Gotta like that.

Agreed. I held on to B41 all the way to -132. Didn't do a speed test.

Where exactly were you when this was taken? It may be worth opening a trouble ticket if it's in an area that should have good coverage.

 

I will also need to see your engineering screen, or a signal check pro screen shot.

      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....

      Welcome back! That's similar to my best (1250ish). A few people have broken 2000 on good sites.
