LTE is live in Alexandria/Pineville.  Don't know how long it's been up and running - I just upgraded from an iPhone 4S to a 5S and boom, LTE.  

 

Outdoor coverage is good from about I-49 out to the airport, including the mall and downtown Alec. Solid LTE signal, my speed test showed 6-8 Mbps down and 1-3 Mbps up.  Very impressive.  Surprised they deployed here before Lafayette though.  

why don't ya become a sponsor and you can see all of the Louisiana Market that have LTE 

lte been on there

Yep I did the spreadsheet too also I'm gonna call the guy I know at sprint tomorrow to check see what others was turned on too

So I'm in a good mood cuz my home tower is on lol

it really depends on "you" if you wanna go for it go for it 

Well at least Monroe has uncle Si.

Do we have anyone in the Lafayette area that can do some mapping? I ask because I'm not seeing any purple on the maps...gotta get more purple on the Louisiana maps folks!   

got the signals on johnson and ambassador but i have iPhone 5 so cant map the purple i really want to 

head over to sponsor forms of Louisiana market to see my LTE pics of service in Lafayette

 

 

One of the best descriptions of ping ever! Good post.

Well said and very true

 

This is what a lot of people don't seem to get. They just see bigger numbers and think it's better. That doesn't necessarily mean it is more stable, more consistent, etc. It's all about e-peen size when it comes to speed tests.

The average user doesn't need much more than 1Mbps on 3G, and 5Mbps on 4G for what they expect as far as speed is concerned. These numbers are probably high even, for most users. Latency is what you actually think of when you think speed. How long it takes to load after you click a link. You can have a 30Mbps connection but a 500ms latency and your connection will feel extremely slow, because it literally is taking half a second before your click even registers anything due to that latency.

One of Network Vision's requirements is sub-100ms latency on all upgraded towers. For reference, 100ms is roughly where a person can start to detect the lag, hence why anything less than 100ms is good for gaming for instance, the lower the better. Even with a slower connection, it will feel much faster if the latency is lower.

I agree

I still think the old wimax system, where you had a voice bar AND an additional 4G bar was the best thing ever,

There are new network updates can you add to the list to be up to dated?
