No IPv6 on my iPhone 6 either (except when connected to my home Wi-Fi network). Maybe it's being rolled out on a market by market basis?
-
A lot of B25 only devices in the area?
-
My MiFi is currently picking up B41 at the shopping center off the 805 at Mira Mesa Blvd.
-
Sprint has gotten a lot better here. Before, I wouldn't be able to stream Pandora at all while driving. I would spend way more time on Wi-Fi than 3G because the latter was pretty much unusable. Today? I was able to stream Pandora pretty much all the way from Ramona to Claremont Mesa Blvd. with no hiccups. Now to finish upgrades in Clairemont (especially in the Balboa/Genesee area since it's still bad enough there to have to switch to Wi-Fi for data).
-
I don't think it's supposed to say on the modem's page. Which modem are you using?
-
I have TWC and they definitely support IPv6. You'll have to get a router that supports it/turn it on in your router's settings but it is there.
-
Another thing to keep in mind that even though a website may return IPv6 addresses in DNS, the DNS servers that the website itself uses may be v4 only. This isn't a problem now, but could be in the future if we start having Internet connections that only have v6 addresses.
-
I actually spent significant time getting IPv6 working on my home connection. test-ipv6.com gives me 10/10 and I think I can turn off IPv4 on my laptop and be able to access IPv6 only websites with no issue (currently untested). Would be nice if Sprint supported it though, but they may be thinking that CGNAT would be perfectly fine for phones.
-
Being able to get LTE inside my house would be great.
-
It's also possible I have really low standards. Sprint was extremely bad here before (to the point where there was no point not having the phone on Wi-Fi the majority of the time), so LTE speed tests dropping from 15mbps to like 3-4 probably wouldn't be a big deal for me as long as latency was still okay.
-
My phone has LTE only on B25 and I've seen a massive improvement in service though.
-
Two years ago I was seriously considering jumping ship because Sprint 3G was so ridiculously slow. Then I found this site and decided to give Sprint another chance by upgrading to the HTC One. In short, I'm glad I did--San Diego has improved massively over the course of the last 1-1.5 years and even when I'm not on LTE, 3G is perfectly usable. Is there room for improvement? Of course! For one thing, it would be nice for the IBEZ stuff to finally get resolved since my phone falls off of B25 LTE fairly often. But once that does...
-
I'd prefer B26 but that's not realistic Supposedly my house gets LTE but I currently have to walk a couple of blocks to pick it up. (I'm on Wi-Fi at home though so it's not that big of a deal.)
-
D'oh. I knew it was in the 40s at least.
-
Hmm, I do have the MiFi 500 and it's set up to prefer B46 first. There's not really anywhere convenient to park that doesn't have the risk of not picking it up though (due to the nature of B46 and all).
-
What did the update change?
-
More than usable. Then again I just went today and not any of the other three days. Last year 3G was unusable, so a definite improvement.
-
Wait, I thought Mexico and the US came to an agreement. Wouldn't help with Canada but still.
-
It seems weird that they don't install the 800MHz RRUs in the IBEZ even though eventually 800 will be available in that area for Sprint to use. Seems like it's unnecessary extra work for the installer techs, no?
-
Is it me or did the latest update go back to using LTE/EVDO strength for bars instead of 1x?
-
Giving it a shot now. I've been having some battery issues lately, possibly around Google Maps since there's high CPU usage while I'm driving (and not using navigation or any other phone features).
-
I'm pretty sure any recent Android phone is dual-stack, but not necessarily on LTE. I was tunneling IPv6 at home for a bit and test-ipv6.com was working on my HTC One (which isn't Spark capable).
-
Do you know if the Sensorly maps update as more data comes in for areas already done? A lot of the mapping was done pretty early on in the LTE deployment here.
-
It's one thing for a city to issue a permit. It's another when AT&T says "we can't fit you in for six months". Not saying that's what happened in my tower's specific case, but yeah.
-
For example, the tower near my house is actually on top of an AT&T building. They need to coordinate with AT&T in order to get access to the site.
