  1. In other news, I am staying overnight at Gettysberg College. I realize that this is a Shentel area, but the speeds are gorgeous. 4G is everywhere even indoors! I love it!
  2. Alcalu also has more sites online than the other companies though. I think that they are doing really well. Their towers virtually only have to wait on backhaul. Once backhaul is in place, they can just throw on 4G easily. I think Chicago isn't a good example because the reason they are so far ahead is because of compatibility issues with the equipment there and NV equipment.
  3. Have you ever seen a ping like that on 3G? http://db.tt/SkhknQTP
  4. Yay! Knowing Sprint, a few weeks after the international One X gets it, so will the EVO.
  5. There are a few subway stations where you can get signal in NYC. I know 72nd Street and Nevins Street stations in NYC have strong sognals. That's only because they aren't that far underground.
  6. Its bonus when it looks just as nice as it works well.
  7. I just like the new UI more! I'm always up for a UI change as long as the app runs smoother. The current app on Android does not run as well as it did for iOS.
  8. That was the Windows Phone version. They got that version first then, iOS, and now hopefully Android.
  9. I'm so jealous. That app better come to android soon. We havent had an update in lord knows, or whoever you do or don't believe in, how long.
  10. Close enough, shouldn't make much of a difference. My aunt's GS3 was at -86 or so while my EVO was reading -98
  11. Nope, whenever I roam I go into my phone's network settings. Under operator, where it would normally say Sprint, it shows these numbers.
  12. When I roam, it shows these in my network settings as operators. I noticed the correlation between carriers and these "names". I looked it up and many people who got 31000 as their operator realised it was Alltel. Also many have noted that Alltel customers that got switched to Verizon, had 31000 instead of their normal operator name. For them it did not change until they updated their PRL.
  13. I only know 2. I don't know if it is the same on other devices, but this is true of HTC the Evo 4G LTE. 123456 is Verizon. 31000 is Alltel
  14. My undertsanding is that the EVO has an exceptional 1x radio. I often keep 1 bara weak signal inside of buildings whereas other phones like the GS3 would give up and roam.
  15. Not to mention their famous claim of "we cover 96% of the population". They always forget to add on, "with EDGE or GPRS". Those claims of they have HSPA+ as a fallback are bogus because of you don't have HSPA+, I am 99% sure you don't have LTE.
  16. I need to stay away from android for a bit. I initially read the bottom of your post as sent from my JellyBean iPhone4S. Then I was like, what? After about 5 seconds I realized it was meant jailbroken.
  17. As stated earlier that won't be the case for NYC. They will only have a 5x5 here and other large cities due to spectrum restrictions. I think that they are going with a Verizon/AT&T rollout with completing the market before being able to use it. The only thing is, the large city folk can't complain because they will have signal whereas all of the rural folk will stay pissed because they never will have 3G. LOL!
  18. I'm doubtful. They only have HSPA+21. I think that for now, their speeds are adequate.
  19. In RootMetrics testing, Sprint 3G network beat out Verizon's in terms of speed. They seemed very confident in Network Vision on that they recognize that 2013 will be a turning point for Sprint and they only see them going uphill http://rootmetrics.com/special-reports/lte-performance-review/
  20. I am on my way to Greenville, North Carolina right now. Sprint has way more LTE than expected. I have recieved LTE in and out, every half an hour or so. When I passed by Baltimore, Washington D.C., a small area in New Jersey, now I am in Virginia and my phone switched to LTE suddenly. Where I didn't have LTE the legacy towers were fast. I had pings of about 120ms but the speeds were always upwards of 1.2Mbps
  21. Doesn't this create an inconsistency throughout the network because some people will get above 40Mbps and others will never see that number ever.
  22. I thought they were deploying a 10 x 10? All of the reports seem to point to a 5 x 5 LTE network. A while back a report came out of Kansas City that they were testing a 5 x 5.
