It might be something in your area with traffic routing. In Syracuse, Sprint has better ping times than AT&T or Verizon. Usually 20-50 ms on Sprint vs 50-100 ms on the others.

I normally may get 90 ms on B26. Around the same on B25 too.

Sprint lte seems to have a slightly higher ping than all the other carriers could this be a result of backhaul, or could it be a result of something can someone explain?

Just curious, what were you using to check the signal? Your profile says you have an M8 in addition to the GS2, I would figure you would use the M8 as your daily driver.

You may think you didn't. If I drove around Ocala with a Triband device, is 2Mbps going to be the typical result? If not, you cherry picked the results to make a point.

 

Also, you also know that in Jacksonville and Tampa, a Sprint Triband device holder would likely have an equal or better result than a Tmo subscriber. Agreed? In Tampa and JAX, Sprint LTE coverage is better indoors and outdoors than Tmo. And Sprint on B41 meets or exceeds Tmo speeds.

 

VZW is a way better provider in my area than AT&T. However, I can go around my area in real places and make a narrative that shows AT&T is better. And I bet there are some people in my area who really have usage patterns that would appear that AT&T is superior and VZW is awful. L

 

Sprint LTE is very competitive in Florida in places with 2 LTE bands, and among the best in places with 3 bands. And there will always be places they aren't the best. But in Florida currently, there are far more square miles where Tmo is not good or even available, but Sprint is. And that's a fact, Jack. Even if it's not at your house.

I can back you up that B26-25 duo are very compareable in FL too.

Back when I had my S II, I could get a decent signal with wimax in an area. But one day I tried using WImax the signal seemed to be weaker (This area had the best wimax signal too). Can anyone tell me if this means that sprint is making it into a sight with B41 or just upgrading it into a whole new sight?

Thanks!

I'm psyched too. Thanks for the info.

I live on the around the north side of Sarasota and the coverage seems a bit questionable. Whenever I look around where I live on the NV map there seems to be a huge hole where there are no towers. Can anyone tell if sprint can solve this in some way?

When will sprint start the optimizations?

What would I get for donating $10? Would it give me access to the interactive maps?

Found some band 41. But speeds were kinda bad

It can improve through optimization over time. I can't tell you for certain what will happen, but I can tell you anecdotally that in my area, 800 LTE performance was initially sub-par.

Okay, thanks!

Full acceptance of all five 800/1900 Network Vision upgrades on a cell site is a prerequisite to Nokia's rollout of 8T8R band 41 upgrades on the same site. That doesn't mean that 800 LTE is indicative of a band 41 upgrade coming soon, just that it won't be possible otherwise.

800 LTE seems spotty, will it improve?

Im noticing 800 mhz LTE in the SW Florida area. Does that mean spark is coming to that area? Or is it just plain 800 mhz deployment. Plus I'm noticing a slight change in coverage but not a big difference.

When will spark be coming to sarasota?

What kind of speeds would I expect on the 800 band?
