  1. It's OK to ask if plans are still available and legitimate ways to get them. It is not OK to ask ways to circumvent rules/laws, defraud or deceive to get them.

    Roberto!  How are you doing man?  I since have left Sprint and SERO.

     

    How is the Sprint LTE deployment?

  2. How are you all doing ???

     

    I left Sprint last year because I got frustrated with the LTE (I prefer SIM card too)  and I cant get my HTC Evo 4G LTE to work with all these spotty LTE signals that I am getting.

     

    I been using Tmobile prepaid and was using Nexus 4 and now I just got my HTC One last week.  Paid $650 for it with tax. (No more expensive plastic phone and front loud stereo speakers.  S4 and S3 cant do this).

     

    Now Tmobile just turn on LTE signal in Atlanta about 2 days ago.  I see LTE briefly few days ago (south Atlanta) but it goes away about 1 min later each time.  I dont know how to make the LTE signal stick.  I remember reading here u have to do ## something.  I wonder if that work in this HTC one phone.

    I am back in the same boat again waiting for a good LTE signal.  I am ok with 4G. (HTC Evo can only get LTE or 3G).

     

    Hello ROBERT and and themuffinman and  ATL!  What you all up to man ???

  3. There is new expanded LTE coverage where I live.

     

    I was running at the Jester Creek Pathway and I got LTE coverage right behind the Lee Elementery school and toward Tara Blvd and I map it tonight.

     

    Now I can Skype my friends and family when I am at the pathway, its more like a trail. :lol:

  4. Because WiMax is a full deployment in your area and the nearest WiMax site to you is much closer than the nearest LTE site is now. As the deployment completes in Atlanta, you will find LTE coverage to be far superior to WiMax.

    Thanks Robert. Once I get LTE inside my office bulding, my life will come full circle. I already got consistant LTE at my house.

  5. My Comcast promo ends this month and it will go up to $72 for Blast.

     

    I might just get the Performance and it is $62.

     

    That is very high.

     

    There is ATT DLS in my area, but the uplaod speed is only 512kb and I am not going for that. ATT is qutting DSL. They are not expanding Uverse here.

     

    Is Clear going to have LTE on mobile? I am running a forum and FTP on my home PC. Will it work on mobile?

     

    Where are all the competition?

  6. Users per tower as well as what the users are doing. If you have 100 people on a tower checking facebook, it will be a lot less load on the tower than 100 people streaming netflix in 720p resolution.

     

    Each sector is broken into resource blocks. The more data intensive the usage is, the more resource blocks it hogs. Once the resource blocks are all being used, the cell has to start taking away resource blocks and allocating them to new users. Then everyone slows down. Once the NV rollout is complete, the network could also recognize that one cell is starting to become overloaded and push some users onto a neighboring cell with less load.

     

    I see. So its like cable modem technology. The more user the less the speed.

     

    Another cell tower with less load may not have the fastest speed as it is further away.

     

    I wonder if they would throttle someone that has been downloading for the last hour on that tower.

     

    I am sure there is away to hack the phone to select the tower you want, the PRL you want. That is why I like root.

  7. I do have sensorly app, there was no 4G mapped where I was talking about until I mapped it.

    Yes, that is how you know when there are new coverage. It looks like it take a day before you see the refresh on their server.

     

    Did you all have 10 update on this app for the last 2 days?

  8. How does the amount of city bypasses have anything to do with LTE deployment? The amount of cell sites has to be enough to support the population of the market, sprawling or not.

     

    The dates are forecasted by using the current rate of conversion applied to the remaining sites in the market.

     

    I didnt see the sprawling vs capacity part. :lol:

     

    With LTE, the more people get on it, the slower the speed or is it limit by how many LTE users per tower?

  9. I noticed yesterday that around the Forest Park, Morrow, and Lake City area, there is more 4GLTE coverage. They must have just turned on some 4G towers in that area. I had 4G connection from my house in Lake City all the way to downtown ATL. Today I went from my house all the way to Mt. Zion shopping area (Best Buy, PetSmart, HomeDepot, etc.) with 4G all the way. I couldn't do that before. I never had 4G at my house before and when I went to Mt. Zion area, it was always in and out.

     

    Install Sensorly app. That is how I find out if there is LTE coverage there or not. I always turn it on when no LTE has been map there before.
