And the Band 41 marches on...in the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus for Sprint
in The Wall
A group blog by The Wall Editors in General
I have the iPhone 5 and my cell service and data is horrible where I live in the Chicago Burbs. Would upgrading to the 6/6Plus be a great improvement? I'm thinking it should but my house is in the middle of 2 towers and seems to be in a dead spot. I do get 1-2 bars, but my phone cycles through 1x, 3G, LTE continuously and it just kills my battery. I've gone though dan@sprint.com and it was escalated up the chains of command but they said they did drive-bys and the area is getting great reception/data.
Thanks,
Tony

So I ended up purchasing the iPhone 6 Plus, and have to say that speeds for data are much better. The phone shows LTE rather than 3G/1x and speeds have gone from .10 to.30 DL speeds to .98 to 2.27 in my area so at least internet is usable when I'm outside my home. Inside my house I've had Ping:152, and 4.60 DL/1.77UL speeds. Pretty darn good, I'm not looking for 20-30 DL speeds just usable data, with the phone not timing out all the time.
Thanks for your input,
Tony
