I just got this text message from T-Mobile telling me that OnDevice is actually an improvement and that Hotspot service uses too much network resources. Just curious, I entered into an agreement with T-Mobile, okay month to month, but I an not able to alter the terms, why should T-Mobile be able to make them? I can't say: Hey I am going to optimize your bill by paying 10% less next month...
-
That was super fast because we had to wait 45 days to get a tower fixed in Hayward, CA. Okay Sprint gave service credits but still, 45 days is really bad.
-
I will be in town tomorrow and I hoppe there will be some B26 love in downtown too. Sprint always had some issues indoors in downtown. The rest of the city is pretty well covered with B41.
-
There are some issues in the East Bay with B41 being really slow and we had to kill B41 in our Netgear backup router because it was 2G speed blizz
-
I had Edge before crossing the river into Baton Rouge from the west but between the Texas border to Baton Rouge, there is a lot of area that is very badly covered. I had some massive problems around the Hollywood Casino in BR. Denham Springs was pretty bad as soon you drove into sub-devisions and I got always NO SERVICE, no fall back roaming.
-
Verizon has AWS in the area and has gotten better.
-
So I took a business trip from Houston to Baton Rouge in I-10 and T-Mobile was not up to the task. My Verizon iPhone with Unlimited data was working without any issue 99.9% of the time while T-Mobile dropped down to EDGE several times. Even in Baton Rouge, LTE data on T-Mobile was extremly slow and not working at times. Ran several speedtests and T-Mobile was at or around 1MB down. Sprint was working well, not as well as Verizon but close and even into Denham Springs, you were able to see what a difference Sprint made in a year. B26 all over the place and areas that had 3G last year are now running B25/26 & B41.
-
I just checked and according Sprint's coverage map, Jean is still 3G. I know the signal from Primm reaches quite far, almost to the Jean court house but not inside the Casino. I will be in the area during CTIA and I may do a drive-by after the show.
-
Jean has finally LTE? Last time I was in Jean, the network was just 3G and LTE (B25/41) was in Primm.
-
Ah, the American antenna tree, which holds the fruits that connects us to the world
-
Trust me, I see this currently in NoCal at my office and I am not happy with the lack of speed. A tower has been down for over a month and Sprint does not seem to be able to fix the problem.

Sprint LTE Coverage Maps via Sensorly
orangeblue replied to S4GRU's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Well, that happens every year, but have you every been able to enjoy your streaming on 3G while stuck in traffic. But with all honesty, I don't understand why Sprint has not managed to get LTE running. 1x800 been running for some time. -
I like my cellphone network like my food: GMO free There is a need for speed...

How to Spot Clearwire TDD-LTE / Wimax Antennas & RRUs (Huawei)
orangeblue replied to lilotimz's topic in Equipment Spotting
Sprint has been really quick to remove WiMax equipment in Las Vegas and you see a lot of former co-lo's with empty racks spaces now. -
There is so much that needs to be done around LV, especially along the I-15 to Mesquite. Not much LTE love until you hit Mesquite after Moapa.
-
San Jose, Fremont and Milpitas seem all to have a B25 second carrier. The only issue I have is the very slow speeds lately on B41 in Hayward which are really sub-standard around .05MB down and 2MB up

I hope that Sprint is still adding LTE sites because I know too many areas that still have 3G only while everybody else is running LTE. Sprint has really dropped the ball on some of the high traffic freeways, especially the I-15 between LA and LV. -
is there a possibility to see 10 Mhz FDD B25 in NorCal? How much spectrum has Sprint available?
-
I have seen this too. At times B41 is not providing any data at all. Very bad and it seems Sprint is working on the network in my area. No but I have attached a picture taken today. https://postimg.org/image/p523at0t3/ Would be nice.
-
Today for the first time I have seen a B25^2 carrier in Hayward, CA. Not sure how many other sites have been upgraded. Even B41^3 is very stable in the area and I hope my next phone will be able to make full use of the network. 2CA feels so 2015
-
Verizon seems to have the same issues too according to the down detector
-
Nothing new and between LV and LA you find a lot of 1x800 sites and I'm sure more are life now.
-
I was around CSN Cheyenne. There is a tower very close by but speeds are not really great in the area. Not sure what causes the slower speeds.
-
Where have you seen this speed? I have been around CSN next to a tower and there is nothing past 35MB down!
-
I have never seen really high speeds in Las Vegas even on 2CA sites. Not sure why but Sprint never made it past 40MB down.
