    Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

    Zero difference, they both possess the capability to do all three bands of LTE sprint offers. We haven't gotten the spark update yet though so they aren't enabled out of the box yet, hopefully its soon like sprint said(see the n5 thread for background information).

    Have any of the towers been down ? Cause they are working on putting up LTE in the whole city if you have dropped calls and all that its part of it

     

    Dropped calls have never been a problem for me, even now.

    And the issue is across too much of Brooklyn for me to buy into one or two towers being the cause. Seems most towers round here cover about .5 mi or less..

    I guess it depends on where in 11234 because I have posted several speedtests where I get over 1mbps. I haven't seen a speed lower than 800kbps in a long time. At least when I am outside.

     

    I'm mostly around mill basin out bay ridge. I don't do too many speed tests, I can just tell when my data is snappy and when it isn't. When Google maps takes 3 minutes to load up traffic, and I'm already in the entrance to the Belt, and that happens timer and again.. Well, it's just not working out..

    Sounds like my service in Jamaica, I hardly do anything except browse the web, other tasks are either a hassle or impossible. I think the tower near me is overloaded, it was a recipient of a data speed upgrade (not related to Network Vision) but even when I'm within 100 feet of it my DL speeds are generally around 0.3 Mbps (while upload speeds are just under 1Mbps), it's better than what I get closer to home but it's still slow.

     

    I'm don't plan on leaving Sprint though.

     

    Yeah man, I feel your pain. I forgot how often my words are also "upside down" with upload beating downloads.

     

    I've been very loyal to Sprint for quite a while. I don't plan to leave Sprint for too long I just can't wait as it is.. If they'd been more forth coming on their schedule or got off their asses and band-aided theit current equipment (heck if they'd have followed up on my tickets and given my complaints more than just empty lip service and empty promises) I might have been inclined to stick around.

     

     

    Now they'll have to impress me enough with NV if/when it gets here to make me switch back. Moving to Tmo prepaid will drop my bill from $120+ to about $65/mo. so NV will have to be very impressive then to woo me back. All because of weak customer service and weak customer relations.

     

    I'll continue to monitor these forums from time to time. Much thanks @Robert for this place. Sprint should thank you too. If not for the info here I'd be leaving with my back turned for good..

     

    Bye for now,

    Kinda surprised by your answer. My 3g Svc is generally pretty crappy. Not just at home but out and about around here. I rarely get better than 400kbps and often closer to 100-150 kbps. Driving around my phone often won't keep up with a YouTube stream (not HQ!) I've even had issues streaming from Play Music. I'm on the edge of bouncing to TMO prepaid. They Have a deal ending today I might just jump to. Bottom line: if I'm gonna have sub par svc, might as well pay cheap for it. That's why I'm asking about 11234.. Will it get better in a few weeks or is it gonna be a couple of months

    Is there any insight into the rollout for Brooklyn (mostly around 11234 and 11209) I'm real happy for y'all in the North half of the 5 boros but we need help down here desperately.

     

    Still looking for 3G improvements cuz I won't drop for a new contract to get more of the same abuse.

     

    Show me the network and I'll show you the money Sprint! (and a contract and new GS3, now hustle!)
