Is there still Test going on here in Miami. The 4g is Horrible. When at time on I 95 it was reasonable.

are you looking up at the rru?

Over the weekend I saw crews working on the tower on NW 195th St and NW 57th Ave (about 2 miles south of the turnpike). I didn't think anything of it since there are several carriers on that tower. But today I saw them working again but now there were Sprint LTE panels up! Woot! Hopefully it'll start broadcasting within the next few weeks.

 

I also saw 4g flash on my phone going into the Walmart on Red Road just north of 826. I've never gotten 4g there and the closest to there I've gotten 4g was either further south on the south side of 826, or to the north at the Target. Not sure where that was coming from.

I saw the guys also. Are you talking about behind the Sunoco. right.\? I took pics on Saturday Morning.

its so bad its sad. Miami will be last from what i see to get the NV.

Anyone have any word On Miami. Sitting here patience with Slow 4G.

I don't think they put Miami in this project. Can wait for Miami to be a part of something

What you have to realize is that if your phone latches onto a LTE signal that is poor the connection will be flaky or even nonexistent. The latest updates to my S3 now allows my phone to hold onto an LTE signal at -120dBm signal which for me, basically has no internet connectivity. Once coverage become more consistent these issues will go away. I honestly wished they had kept 4G threshold down to at least -105 dBm until our market is fully launched. That way your phone would jump back onto 3G. But this can all be avoided by just putting our phones to EVDO 3G Only mode.

I started putting my phone on just CDMA 3g to avoid the no data connection. I just wonder is Sprint going to come back and make those 4G connection active. Seem like a waste of money to send a tech out to put the connection up and send another one to complete the actions. But so far the 3G is working pretty good now.

Or maybe the Sensorly contributors for VZW and AT&T are much less dedicated than we are

You got a point.

OK so how can I become this primer sponsor. I'm not trying to bash sprint. We pay the money went the service. They say "Truely Unlimited" Can't half use it. I thought living in Miami was a Big city like New York, California, Atlanta. Only way I can use my phone is to turn the 4g off and use the 3g CDMA. Don't ask it works.

How do I become Primer Sponsor.

Not worth it Here in Miami. Only able to get good 4g on the Major Highways. 1 area in my neighborhood gets 20+ MB so sad. As soon as sprint start to do a data cap like AT&T and Verizon We may start seeing faster speeds.

I starting to believe its not correct. Cause My phone can say 4g and send a report to Sensorly that is has 4g in the area. But the speed of 4g is so slow. 4g logo on my phone doesn't mean I have for get. These towers are broadcasting LTE but not download or up loading. The Latency is crap.

When did the 183rd and 57th Ave tower start broadcasting 4g?

For about 2 weeks. In my house I can my phone says 4g. I used a app call Netmonitor. It shows me a map of the tower i'm connected to . But that tower is slow. Sprint need to do something.

Yesterday I went to the Chicken Kitchen right there on 152nd St but I didnt feel like going in the car and thought I would enjoy some walking. So I walked from 124th St all the way to 152nd St via US1 and all the while I held a 4G signal mapping it on Sensorly and basically connecting all that section of US1 which was unmapped before.

 

As you said, all the way there the signal stayed between -105 and -110 and was basically useless. Websites wouldnt load etc. I switched to CDMA mode only for a sec and did a speedtest on 3G and got 1.8/1 which is very fast for 3G. It was just the 4G that was useless.

Same thing is going on North Dade and Miramar area. 4g is being broadcasting from the towers. But the speed is so low.

183 and 47 ave that tower puts out 25+ Mbps

183 and 57 ave tower.1.5 to 3.0 if you lucky.

Miramar Red Rd and miramar parkway. 0.2kbps

Note Signal to all these tower are good. Within -80 or so but the bandwidth is slow. Such a Tease.

Jaggery remember i was talking about spectrum I read that the 1900MHZ doesnt go that far. Which is what sprint is building on. But when they come around to the 800MHZ the specturm of the signal and the speed will come farther. Which I guess they are building on to the nextel Spectrum which they have. Can't wait Cant wait to tell the Verizon People to Shut Up. lol

i'm noticing the same this I'm new to sprint. I see a light at the end of the tunnel with this new Vison. The first Month was hard coming from Verizon. In my area I'm now picking up the 4g but the speeds isn't that high can be due to still tuning for more is becoming live. My phone calls are alot better. Just with I can find something about Downtown Miami around the court houses and AAA. That area is really in need.

whats up with Downtown Miami. Around the Court House and Miami Dade County Government Center. No 4G any towers or feeds going to this area?

Having 4G there would be nice. My phone gets it at that intersection from time to time, but barely cuz it's pulling from that tower on 47th. I'll get it sometimes in that Target there also. I'm surprised you only pull down about 18 to 20 mbps when you're at 183rd and 47th; when i went there with my phone I consistently got around 28-30. But that was a few months ago.

Well yes I was being modest when I said 18 to 20 you are right its alot more.

Im starting to wonder how far is the Spectrum of these Towers. Because the signal decrease less then half a mile. I'm still monitoring in my area.

Any info on 183 and 57 ave? At the intersection of 183 and 47 the 4g is nice. Pull about 18 to 20. Downtown Miami Has no towers around anything about this?
