    Bits, not bytes :)

     

    That was Sprint. My FreedomPop SIM in my ZTE K88 tablet, on AT&T natively, hit 90-ish Mbps down at the same stretch of road, though speeds would probably be faster if everything wasn't being proxied via Jasper Wireless...or if the device wasn't as cheap (though it does CA).

     

    The roaming LTE appears to be throttled to on the order of 100-128 kbps, probably set that way to provide an experience that's always at least slightly better than 1x. Which, with the lower latency, it definitely is better.

    Ok :) and thats slow for lte roaming...iz there a lte data cap when roaming with freedom pop?

    Figure I'd chime in because I'm posting this from AT&T roaming LTE on my Sprint SIM. Interesting experience. Will post my SignalCheck screenshot later, along with a nearly 120 Mbps speed test I took earlier on this road trip between Austin and Longview. Maybe doable on 2xCA with the TD slot reconfiguration but maybe that was 3xCA? SignalCheck wasn't helpful on telling which at the time. Around 15 Mbps up.

    The 120 megabytes a second speed test was that on AT&T or Sprint?

    Network Vision/LTE - Georgia Market (Warner Robins, Macon, I-75 Corridor))

    Just to briefly update things, the straggler 3G-only site on the north side of Warner Robins on US 129/SR 247 was finally updated to LTE.  As far as I can tell, it's another GMO with the old PCS antennas still being used. I haven't had a chance to check any of the sites around Macon lately though.

     

    I haven't seen any evidence of any more band 41 deployments beyond the mystery site in Warner Robins, which still defies my efforts to definitively locate it.

    is it just a band 25 upgrade?

    I really thought this thread was going to blow up now with the noise being turned up.  Listening on the drive time radio show this morning on my way to work they said it was going to be $1200.  That can't be right.  Especially with the problems they had with Note 7.  Crazy.

    i agree thats insanely expensive i have to finance half a phone i m not paying half a grand for a phone lol....

    I live in good to great coverage -- because I have two Sprint sites one half mile north and south, respectively, and receive band 41 at -110 dBm or band 25 at -95 dBm inside my house.  However, one half mile east of my house, Sprint has a coverage challenged spot, where the perfect storm intersection of 3-4 cell edges leaves band 26 at -110 dBm or lower.  More recently, I noticed -95 dBm band 41 for a few blocks while driving through that same area.  I thought it possibly an anomaly, but I confirmed today that it is a Magic Box.

     

    That is how Sprint should be and is using the Magic Box.  Not just to appease Joe Schmo, who has adequate signal outside but lives in a masonry Faraday cage.  Sprint should be and is placing Magic Boxes with users in strategic locations to improve coverage for everyone.

    i m anxious to see what sprint does...they should do everything possible to improve service... i m all for an increase in monthly prices in order to improve its network...i have noticed serious improvements in speed at my condo..none the less i m on the third floor and with in a mile of a tower thats several hundred feet tall..it only has 2X CA but it gets 95 megabits down which is great...i hope to see continued improvements...

    At 3 Years later, Marcelo has done an incredible job so far with what he inherited at the time.... and it can be easy to forget what a mess it was.

     

    I'm excited for what lies ahead. I think Sprint will surprise a lot of people.

    i m excited for gigabit speeds!! i am impatiently waiting for 4 carrier aggregation the suspense is killing me ! but the pain us sprint users are going through now is worth it ! and i m impressed with the lte performance and i m looking forward to increased speeds and coverage. it takes awhile but hey you cant rush perfection :)

    Less intrusive..? You can enable whatever Alert(s) you prefer to have a notification tone, vibrate, or both. If you don't want anything at all, just disable them all.

    Oh I do have one problem though with it. On my LG G6 it doesn't show in the notification bar the signal strength or anything for that matter I actually have to open the app to see anything that single check Pro can get from the phone.

    Hope? I'm sorry the company will always be the black sheep. I still can't on my conscience recommend Sprint to anyone. I'll always have my sero line and be a customer. Thank God, its not my sole provider. Ain't see nothing yet! Yeah, your damn right. 6 years running after NV and I'm still having the same problems.

     

    its alot of money to obviously build out the network...tmobile was in just as bad of shape as sprint and it can be done for sprint to become like to tmobile

    I'm out of town this week and basically off the grid, but danlodish345, the advice David gave is correct. Go to the menu and select Preferences > Alerts, then uncheck what you do not want. For now the visual notification has to appear on the screen for it to work on newer versions of Android; I'm still overhauling the Alerts but hope to be able to improve that soon.

    ok thats fine i m messing with it...is there a way to make it less intrusive..
