WHOA. Are you Florida folks still getting these speeds?

Yessir

Any logical explanation? I even restarted my phone and i was still getting speeds over 100 on my LG g3 (non spark device)

G3 is Spark enabled...

Does anybody know sprints roll out plans for Spark in Fort Lauderdale? According to the maps Sprint spark is available in many areas however my area Margate / Coral Springs has no sprint spark. Does Sprint plan on deploying Sprint Spark to these last few areas.

 

Orange is 4G LTE, Yellow is Sprint Spark

 

Yea, soon all the gaps in between will be filled in.

It's wrong. Speeds on Sprint aren't capable of getting the high without carrier aggregation. The speedtest app was wrong.

Yea I thought it was wrong too, till I just sat there, closing the app, resetting my phone, changing servers and all the results were consistent for 25 min straight. Then it went back down. I guess they are working on smtn in my area, for sure.

I just wonder why the upload suck so much....

That's not right is it? What device are you using note edge?

It's right alright. I'm using a G3.

 

I guess there's some work being done in my area.....wow!

 

This is by far the best B26 I've seen so far in Miami.

With all these B26 towers popping, where the heck is 1x800?!?!

$262 for 5 lines, all unlimited.

its simply because verizon has more towers in that location for some reason. also they run on 850MHz or something for 3G.

 

Also a properly tuned B26 site should easily best a 3G site. i mean heck i have read stuff on here with people saying they got 1x800 more than 10 miles from their location (and i have experienced it to) and i have seen my friends verizon phone on 4G KILL IT in terms of range.

Exactly....more towers. Sprint needs MORE towers....

Here's a 5 minute video I just took of what optimized B26 looks like at the edge of signal. It beats EVDO, and also rivals 1X.

 

 

The "action" starts around 1:40.

Incredible how Verizon has awesome signal at this location but Sprint just struggles ????

Well, you are saying that you are connecting to Band 26 outside, but do you know which Band 26 site? It could be a farther one away and not the nearest one at all.

 

And since no Band 26 is optimized in South Florida yet, it doesn't matter much. They fire up B26 at reduced power to minimize interference between sites. Then they go back afterward and increase broadcast power levels and fully optimize the site to correctly overlap adjacent sites.

 

So in your instance you can expect further B26 improvement. Definitely when B26 optimization occurs, and possibly also when a closer site goes live if you aren't currently connecting to the closest site. But it will not reach inside every building in every instance. No provider can guarantee that.

 

Where you currently receive B26, its strength and its speed is not as good as it is going to get. It's going to get much better all around South Florida. And beyond.

This helps, Thx! I just don't know why launch a frequency without optimization...

Does the nearest Sprint site have B26 live yet? And if it does, I can almost guarantee you it has not been optimized, yet.

It's live because I've seen my phone land on it before, but only on my lunch break outside the building.

I'm in the center of Downtown Miami. I've caught B26 here at my job. Inside my building I get ZERO reception, not even roaming. Att has 3 bars LTE. Why won't I get LTE inside, now with B26???

Clearly you are connected to b41, probably signal check fail to update but looking at it there is no way that could be b25.

I was at that address for over an hour and it was b25 all the time. As soon as I left to another area, it immediately showed b41, ect...

 

Can someone explain to me how in the world is possible that I got those speeds, on b25, and horrible signal?

Sometimes with the best signal possible I don't even get 10mbps down on b25!

Talk about Nokia showing up with their 8t8r, a record low ping Of 14 just WOW !! Anyone can feel free to to correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recap anything close to 14 being report in this forum.

Screenshot is on WiFi tho... Not sure if SRS.... [emoji52]

 

Decent speeds at my gym. LA fitness Hialeah by Okeechobee road.

Dumb question I know... But with 800 on now... It only connects to that one band, not 800 and 2.5 right?

 

Its been a while since i last focused on sprint stuff instead of school

It will connect to the best band possible at that location and given time.

 

My first citing of B26 in Hialeah FL. I've had 1x800 a couple of times but never LTE B26. It doesn't last for more than 10 seconds tho and it switches between 3 towers constantly. From eHRPD to B25 and now B26.

 

 

What up, new here but have been a long lurker of this thread. I just recently caught these screen shots of 1x800 at my house. It was consistent for a good 10 minutes, when it usually just lasts 2-4 seconds and drops back to 1xRTT. Anyone knows the reasoning this could happen and why it just doesn't stay on 1x800?
