    Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

    in Markets

    Posted

    Finally got Native sprint LTE at the train station I use the most, 34th street Herald Sq! Awesome streaming from my plex server while i wait for the train!

    After I read your message I was looking forward to seeing if there was anything at 42nd street on the A. Sucks cause the train came right away so I had to run for it. Couldn't test on the platform. But once I got on the train. I looked down and there it was, LTE in full strength! This was toward the front of the Uptown A.

    Was in the West village today and look who finally broke the 37 mbps theoretical speed.

    And then I used Ookla at the same spot. You guys were right. Big difference.

    Woo-hoo. Ok I'll stop doing speed tests now. I know how much it drives people crazy.

    once additional sites come online I don't think you'll have issues. Just gotta grin and bare it for now. I was internally super frsutrated myself but the benefit is two fold!

    Just about every site in my neighborhood is 3g/800/lte b25 accepted. Just hoping when more b41 and b26 sites come online my issues will disappear.

    where are you located in the city? Before they turned on band 26 I would drop down to 3G in my apartment when I walk to certain areas especially the back of the bathroom. but now the towers have been adjusted for tilt due to additional propagation of 800 lte and it stays on band 25 even when I'm all the way in the far corner of the bathroom which lead into the hallway of my building, in terms of location! So whenever they turn on additional cell sites they may adjust the tilt and you may continue to experience LTE throughout your apartment Or house! You have the s3 which is single band so if and when they do adjust the tower by you it should penetrate farther. Hope that is helpful!

    Yeah i have the s5 now. The s3 was a champ for holding onto LTE in my apt. I hope it's cause of b26. Cause right now my wife's q10 is embarrassing my s5. I'm in Washington Heights btw.

    So I'm upstate near Woodbury Commons. And my phone is locking onto LTE and not letting go. The signal is weaker than what I get at home. But it's not letting go. Why does my stronger signal at home keep going back to 3g. :(

     

    Both sites say 3g/800/lte complete.

    Got my 6 months free this morning. Logged into my sprint added the Spotify service with 6 months free. I got a text with a link. Opened the link and it asked me to either create a new account or log in. I logged in with my account credentials and I was prompted with a message saying my account with credited with 6 months of service at no charge. Easy...

    Its possible its coming from either the bronx or Washington heights! Or it could possibly be a cluster launch! What kind of speeds were you getting?

     

    Considering your signal is pretty good, Id bet on a Manhattan site..

    Couldn't complete a speed test before it switched back to b25. But download started in the teens.

    Use the Ookla app. Sensoly tends to have much slower results because they have to few servers and you can't pick which one you are using.

    I use both. For me the difference has been negligible so far. But will keep trying both.

    Getting great speeds on B41 a couple of blocks from Times Square. Near 60Mbps.

    Wow that's pretty good for tsq. I can't even get up to 30 mbps in upper Manhattan on B41. I feel alot of triband phones are being added each and every day. Which is great. Just surprised you can pull a 60 in such a dense area.
