That's not what that says.

Oh OK.......so what am I not understanding from that thread.  I've read so I'm confused.....which  BTW is easy done

Don't post slow speed tests for no reason.  Also, you only have one bar of a B25 signal.

I thought number of bars weren't an indication of signal strength per the following thread?

Need an internet connection for that.... The person you quoted doesn't have that option.

That's correct.  I called tech support 2 weeks ago and told me the same thing.  Plus the said it only works on 3g & voice and not LTE.

He means that since you rely solely on mobile data rather than having in-home internet, you are contributing to the overloading of the network. And yes, I see that you say you are out of range. You'll just have to hope that Sprint brings additional carriers online soon.

I somewhat knew what he meant but i had to ask if it was something else.  It's that darn rural america that I'm part of that's ruining it for everyone else.  

Band 26 is already equipped during the NV overhaul.  It is getting someone out to put in a carrier card and firing it up.  For Band 41, simply installing the antenna.

 

Speaking of Fresno, Band 25/26 equipment is already in place and just need someone to integrate and fire up the LTE side of it.  50% of the city is already covered with LTE.   We are probably looking at weeks or months instead of "couple years" moving forward.

that's good to hear.  At the last Fresno State football game, i notice antennas all around the perimeter of the stadium and the network speed was awesome.   

There is only 5x5 B25 in your area.  Soon as Sprint adds the 5x5 B26 and 20 Mhz of B41 in the area you will be stuck with the single congested 5x5 B25.

 

If you have a Spark phone, once B26 and B41 are available, you're looking up to 50Mbps+ speeds on B41 and up to 37Mbps on B26.

 

You can learn more about Network Vision and all the bands currently being deployed by Sprint.

I guess the million dollar question will "how soon" for sprint to add the other 2 bands but i know the answer will be a couple of years since there' still working on getting LTE up and running in all of Fresno.

Contributing to your own problem, I see.

not sure what you're stating.....enlighten me.

Hopefully you had a good reason to switch from VZW.

unlimited data from sprint.  I live just outside of comcast and u-verse services area and my only source of the web is cell phone for the family  

Newbie here from Kingsburg.  Switched over from Verizon about 30 days ago.

We have LTE in Kingsburg but it fluctuate significantly from a .30 to 4.33 mbps while standing in the same spot.  Last Tuesday, i was hitting close to 17 mbps for a couple of hours and then following day went back and has been the same since.

Just wondering if there's anything that can be down and truly don't get why I can't get that 17 mbps consistent.
