-108dBm indoors from almost 5 miles is not shabby for PCS! I have similar signal strengths and I am under a mile from my sector. Will

If i go outside my home I can get a -85dBm signal, inside I hover around -105-110dBm. I see varied speeds 1-5 mbps average, but occasionally I have pulled in low teen figures. One issue is that the tower on Boyd & 24th which is marked as live does not, and has not broadcast since it's completion in September. Since Sprint has "lit" the OU water tower I suspect that the Lindsey and Classen site has fallen in priority since they are within a 1/2 mile of each other. Is that speedtest from inside your home? -Will

Sprint coverage VS Verizon coverage as of Today in my neck of Norman. -William

all lemons aside, between a weak LTE signal & a weak Wifi signal I can see the drop-off in battery life. -William

I hope that we have an update soon for Tri-band support, and that we have long term support as well.

Only thing that could be better is Tri-band signals to use! The battery life shot was from being off the charger from 7am until night time, and I am a heavy user; averaging 7-15GB of monthly mobile data alone. And I'm a talk & texter too . -William

My brother at Columbia in NYC chose the 5S as well and is missing out on the TDD site perched across the street from the building he lives in. Either way the band 26 experience will provide a solid signal and reasonable throughput depending on sector traffic & backhaul. -Will

I have been all through Dallas twice in the last 4 months, neither of those times did my LTE experience prove to be any better than it is here in OKC or Tulsa. Many huge gaps still exist throughout the metro. If he is Tri-band equipped he should see the benefits Band 26 soon & Spark . -Will

Houston and Olive-r? 81st & 129 E ave? I have never picked up CDMA 1x-800 in Tulsa and I traveled around most of the metro over Christmas break whilst running a Prem sponsor PRL. -William

Tulsa may be in for an interesting future with Sprint, As many of you on here are aware; Tulsa was a Clearwire protection market and deployed 3 sites in the metro area. Since then 80% of Sprint's native footprint in northeast OK has received some form of network vision 1.0 upgrades. Many of you have experienced some form of LTE connectivity throughout the state and in addition been covered with HD voice over PCS. If you are following the continuation of Sprint's network vision as we enter into phase 2 or "NV 2.0" it should be noted that Sprint is deploying band 26 in Oklahoma this year and this will extend LTE connectivity indoors as well as fill in any gaps in coverage that have not been addressed in NV 1.0. Sprint is deploying a 5x5MHz FDD carrier for band 26 nationwide; however Tulsa will only receive 3x3MHz coverage which will still yield a modest 21.75mbps max download and provide the indoor relief subscribers are looking for. Additionally Since Tulsa is the 47th largest city in the US and OKC is the 42nd largest our market should be bumped into the 3rd round deployment from Sprint Spark and 20MHz TDD LTE. -William

Have you ever heard of MikroTik? -William

Engenius 1750 AC is a great mid price dual band router, wicked if you have some switches and POE sectors to play with . -William

Luckily Dave it's just around the corner, you should see the update by halloween.-William

Unfortunately T-Mobile lacks the quality and quantity of service offered by AT&T and Verizon. At either of my parent's homes in the heart of Tulsa T-Mobile only works if you are outdoors. Even Sprint who uses a similar frequency for LTE and Voice connectivity offers a certain marginal level of indoor service inside my mother's partial brick home. I had a T-mobile device for a few months both with a "real" T-mobile Sim and a trial of Solavei. The service even around town was borderline pathetic, and at my apartment in Norman T-mobile signals are again only usable on the patio. My neighbor Jon with a T-mobile iPhone 5S is sorely disappointed with their service. AT&T offers extremely high speeds in and around Tulsa and OKC. Verizon is crippled by USCC holdings in Tulsa but still offers a competitive LTE service and a mildly robust voice network over PCS. Sprint is somewhere in the middle. -William

In my brief experiences with HD voice it sounds extremely clear. Especially G2 to G2. No matter what anyone I know with the iPhone 5S still sounds tinny during the call, which leaves me questioning Apple's quality;again.

Robert I cannot quote a post that long. Hopefully members don't make the same mistakes as MasterTruth in the future. If he was a troll his koi attitude slipped me. There is a delicate line between learning and complaining. Im not going to defend someone on a mission to derail this site. And i meant NO disrepect in my postings. -William

In my discussion with him he seemed to be educating himself about the future of the network. Obviously disgtuntled with his service he turned to this site. He even learned about the signifigance of Tri-band. I emailed AJ and recieved no reply. I can help some of the "average" folks decide if Sprint is going to fulfill their needs,but not if there banned so quickly. Sprints 4G coverage is expanding and this will draw tech illiterate to the site as they ponder why service works in some places and not others. Hopefully future members do not slander so many threads, but there has to be a threshold. Hard to decide if he is a troll or a disgruntled customer so quickly.

I too get quite fed up with Sprint at times, his IP adress is from his AT&T MiFi. A device that actually works since his Sprint service doesnt cut it. Might as well ban me too if we can't discuss Sprint's current state and imperfections.-William

Where backhaul is sufficient you could see up to 120 on a 20x20 sector with a Cat 4 device.

Nope, just an old everything data plan.

My only point is that HD videos are not blocked over cellular for Sprint, you should check out the 4K bee video on your G2; it's gorgeous. If i want to be "big pimpin" i'll download a 4.1GB test file from the data center server on the master link over at the slave side on 24th ave when im back in Norman. If all goes as planned it takes under a minute. It's true nerd porn. -William

I watch 4K videos on my G2 over LTE
