Cat man.

That awkward moment when you forget Florida is a place, lol I'm sorry. Hm. Perhaps something about Louisianna's geography?

Probably not willing to invest heavily in backhaul in case of hurricane.

Congested in your market AND irrelevant? I wonder how it got congested
-
That's not what he's suggesting. He's saying this is a forum where we report Network Vision improvements, because Sprint is improving. Band 25 Is bound to be congested, this is a fact that you could have picked up on if you did a little more reading. Band 41 is the saving grace for congested markets, as well as PCS spectrum for refarming. Haven't you noticed how much better a Sprint phone calls sound, or how there are less issues with texts, or how LTE coverage improved? Because I have. And I'm so happy it's not like it was 4 years ago.
-
iPhone 6 here, similar issue. I'm pretty sure this is just how iOS is, it's somewhat delayed a good chunk of the time connecting to LTE.
-
Of course! This is expected with the concept of a nationwide network connecting millions of people, it's just the fact they're second slowest as of right now, and Sprint is well on the way to overthrow them It's all about our carrier moving up!
-
Unfortunately no. From an older article in July, we can tell AT&T is working on it's own Network Vision to get WCS out and available in more markets, so perhaps it can be more reliable in the coming months.
-
I look forward to the day we get a post on the wall stating how Robert and his entire family are now on Sprint experiencing 40Mbps
-
As far as what I've seen and heard from friends, band 4 is MIA in NYC. As for band 5, that's very far down the pipeline due to the fact its main service is for voice. WCS appears to be entirely missing as of right now, especially since even the newest iPhones lack support for it, so we don't know when or where people will be covered with that.
-
AT&T's network tends to be very consistent in many places, this is true. However, with band 2 here in NYC, the difference between speeds on Staten Island and Manhattan isreally disgruntling if you're a commuter. Yes, this is a factor that must be taken into consideration, but another is the fact that T-Mobile has access to wideband LTE; 15x15MHz, vs AT&T's 10x10MHz in almost the entire US. This gets especially worse in 5x5MHz only AT&T markets.

I can't wait for band 41 in the most congested and popular markets. We're gonna wipe the floor with AT&T, hopefully ending the reign of the duopoly!

https://twitter.com/FierceWireless/status/541987694025662464 ^ According to the tweet above, FierceWireless confirms using data gathered by RootMetrics that AT&T is now the second slowest network in US, following our beloved carrier, and that T-Mobile is now the fastest network nationwide. This is based upon maximum downlink according to the tweet, not average downlink. Of course you need to be part of the newsletter to see the entire article mentioned in the tweet, but I think this is some big news. With Sprint ready to launch second carriers on B41 as it rolls out among the most popular markets in the US, we're poised to actually be faster than America's second biggest carrier, a duopoly member! I think this is some big news, and I'm kinda really excited. My AT&T subscribed friend, not so much. Thoughts?

WOW rural much? Is there any hope for the future? Or is all hope lost?
-
The awkward moment when you realize the hero of your preferred Sprint news site and forum is an AT&T sub.. :'( /s Hopefully Sprint builds out something for you and your family soon, or perhaps you strike a gold mine and move to Chicago to enjoy that fine fine network Sprint built out there?
-
Shadow people.
-
Damn, that's pretty far off and unfortunate to hear. Oh well! I still got relatively decent band 25, maybe I'll get lucky and they'll throw a second carrier to keep me occupied until they complete optimizations. Thanks Robert & Koeller!
-
Is there a set time frame after a tower is upgraded? Like if a tower was finished today, does it get optimized 2-3 weeks following or something?
-
God save the queen, queen Marcelo the fifth. Can't wait for my tower to get optimized for band 26, seems like such a far away thing though. Most places I've been to, now including Woodbridge in Old Bridge, NJ, is totally unoptimized for band 26 as band 26 will hold a -105 signal, 2 bars, then drop to 3G. It's odd.
-
Damn, must be more Sprint users there than I had originally imagined. This is in Mariner's Harbor in Staten Island
-
I saw 50Mbps down at an 8T8R site 2 months ago, but now it sits regularly at 20Mbps, still band 41. FIT testing perhaps?
-
Currently in Woodbridge; Band 41 is live and it is FAST. here's a speedtest from INSIDE Wegmans on band 41: http://imgur.com/bHU3Z4h
