  1. I get 20-30 with just an iPhone 6. Around my neighborhood i get into the 40's. Shouldent it be in the 70's at least most of the time?
  2. So is CA Band 41 basically live in all of NYC? What has been everyone's experience with CA devices?
  3. moving to a 6S is getting tempting.. I want that 2x CA
  4. 6 + not the S model. I may have spoken to soon actually. Some testing now shows similar speeds to before.
  5. Alot of people around here so I would get around 1-3 mb/s. Now im getting 10-15 with some dips to 5 now and then.
  6. I noticed my speeds at work have picked up. I am around City Hall area downtown Manhattan. My UARFCN is now 41078 as apposed to 39991 like before.
  7. Question guys, Here is the deal, I have an iPhone 6 that I bought new shrink wrapped from ebay around april this year. I wanted to trade the phone in to lease the 6S for $5 a month. The rep at the store told me the phone is coming up flagged as stolen/lost. I checked swappa and other sources and yes it is fagged. But how is the phone still working on sprint then? Shouldn't the phone be disabled? Sprint is confused as well. Any ideas here?
  8. Got a new carrier update today on IOS, maybe this will fix the band priority issues.
  9. Band priority is still messed up in Manhattan. I was sitting on a bench near 1 world trade. 1 bar of unusable B41, an airplane mode toggle locks me onto a 5 bar B26 with good speeds. 30 seconds later it's back to 1 bar of B41.. This is getting annoying, makes no sense why 1 bar of B41 is taking precedence over 5 bars of B26...
  10. Hopefully this will be fixed on the network side then.
  11. Band priority is still messed up on iPhone 6 (IOS9) at least. At work City Hall I'm stuck on a congested B41, its usable around 2-3mb/s but when I toggle airplane mode I latch onto a B26 that's giving me 10-12mb/s. It switches back to B41 after 30 seconds even though its 5 bars.
  12. Sprint needs to do better in some rural locations. Eagle lake, PA for example has LTE on tmobile but basically unusable 3g with sprint.
  13. I almost left sprint back in early 2013. I told myself I'll give them a year. I am now happy with sprint and glad I waited it out. People can trash sprint all they want because it's the cool thing to do. But what's fun is when my cousin on ATT can't understand why I'm gettingtwice the speed as him in nyc lol.
  14. Whats up with the Band priority? I was on lunch around china town and I'm stuck on a crowded B41 with speeds around 1mb/s. It's two bars but when I cycle airplane mode I latch onto a 5 bar B25 thats going a steady 9-10mb/s, but it goes right back to B41 a minute later. iPhone 6 if that maters.
  15. I was in Melville Long Island yesterday at a farm. Full B25 averaging around 18mb/s down. Some places just don't need band 41.
  16. Im usually on B41, but depends where on the boardwalk.
  17. I was in Miami several months back. I did a speedtest in my hotel and I was getting around 25-30mbs download, it was only band 25 which i found surprising. Would that be due to a 2nd carrier? Band 25 in NYC for me average is like 5-10mbs.
  18. What does a 2nd carrier do? Is that CA or something else? Im getting in the 50s and 60s on Emmons ave in Brooklyn.
  19. Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the difference between a B41 Clear site and B41 Sprint site?
  20. Will sprint be doing CA on the 5mhz? Or only Band 41 20mhz
  21. I noticed a new tower is going up around my neighborhood. Brooklyn, West 8th between Surf and neptune ave. Any idea if this is sprint?
