  1. The last time I checked the average Home ISP in America has download speeds under 6Mbps. However, some cities are really blessed to have much higher speeds. I agree that people need to keep Sprint LTE performance in perspective.I also live in a market that will not begin deployment until next year. Unless Dan Hesse decides to upgrade the site in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, NM early just for little 'ol me. ;)Robert

    Oh Robert, I like ya but really...you know your last for all of this :)

  3. I don't have any details on it. What I'm referring to, is to me it is obvious that Sprint cannot make the 4G LTE live at this site. To me it seems insane to just deem the site "not worthy" to have the 4G LTE enabled. There is something else going on that is not clear.However, I have said on a few occasions where Rickie has talked about this site publicly that the 4G LTE on air dates for this site are not until September. So this is something Sprint has known about for a long time, since they have built it into their schedule this way. My guess is that is related to the 4G core the site is connected to. As the new AAV backhaul at this site is already live and kickin' according to the schedule.Robert

     

    Also I should of mentioned this in the story, 2 weeks after the install on this tower, I went back and got 150ms pings and over 1.5 mbps download. Now when I wet back this Friday to test 4G LTE had over 500 ms pings and below 500 kbps download.

     

    So either they had it on for testing and I somehow got in, or just caught the tower at a low useage time. Plus the coverage for this tower is not any better now than before so I am thinking more #2 now.

  4. Good review....I would recommend this phone for maybe my mom who is in the market for a new phone but is not really tech savvy. For $99 bucks you really can't beat it.

     

    Yes very accurate, the phone is really my wife's but she let me play with it so I could write this. She just needs to learn the swipe to text and she will like it more!
