Yeah I know its not a tower issue but i feel like with all the new types of cells sites and proper real estate things like this can be fixed. I could only image how bad it was before sprint had 1x800. People probably didn't even have 1RTT signal inside.
-
Has anyone here been inside stuyvesant town? Coverage outside is fine but once you go into any buidlimg and apartment you drop instantly from B41 LTE to 1x800. According to sponcer maps there are towers all around. I always report it on Sprint Zone. From what Ive noticed its not only sprint that has issues. Att users get 1 bar of 4G (NOT Lte). A friend with tmobile had 2 dots on a non b12 phone but couldn't use any internet. And I'm pretty sure Verizon only had 3G on 850mhz. Seems like a prime spot for more mini micro cells or something else. Everyone was asking for the Wifi password Sorry for all the post. Ive been busy and finally got some time off.

Has Sprint announced or made any sort of PR about 2nd carrier or 10x10 B25 when rolled out in other markets?
-
Does anyone know what the plan is with the second B25 carrier. Do they plan on deploying to everytower or just areas with congestions? Is it just a slow roll out like CA was and that's why we are only seeing it on a few towers at this time. I've seen it only a few timesin queens maybe 2 sites and mostly in Manhattan on 3-5 sites
-
Been connecting to 2nd carrier b25 at work when my B41 signal drops off. 33rd st and Madison. Speed tests are 10-15mbps Edit: on the 10th floor
-
Is that at the subway station or street level?
-
I've also noticed slightly better signal and coverage and speeds on the tracks at Penn station
-
Just saw B25^2 on my phone for a few seconds between jamaca train station and valley stream station. Came here to tell you guys but looks like it's know already. Hopefully this makes it ways to Long Island does anyone know the 1900 spectrum break down there?
-
is it possible you were getting a signal from the site accross the street? If its 100% from that temp site I'm thinking there is work being on the roof of the building causing them to turn off the site temporarily
-
i was walking on madison ave and between 23rd st and 24th street there are two smalls cells. I wasn't connected to either and based on the Wimaxx site map they weren't old clear cells. I guess both ATT and Verizon are deploying small cells pretty rapidly too. I don't think I've seen anything about t-mobile using them in NYC but they deff have the most macro towers. One block over on 5th and 23rd street there is a clear site according to the map. I checked google street view and its deff a small cell. I'm going to see if its been converted yet to LTE. I would think it is since its across from the flat iron building which has a Sprint store at the bottom. Im going to use the old clear map to try and find other old clear sites that might have been converted or hopefully going to be. edit: if anyone is there before monday let me know about it please
-
edit: i don't know if i've ever seen a sprint device roam on Verizon 3G 850MHz either -
if you can't get it to work with a verizon device then it isn't a sprint problem. Does any provider have service for the area?
-
I also went to B&H today and one of the first things you notice out side is the t-mobile store right across the street with huge Cell antennas on the room. they are basically on the roof of a one story building. The building behind it is about 3 stories and has what appears to be 2 different sets of antennas. The next thing I did was check my phone to see the signal. I was connected to an awesome B41 connection. So then I went to S4GRU premier section to see Sprint site locations but Sprint didn't have a site here. I then check Nextel but nothing was there. Last I checked the Clear WiMax site locations and boom it was a hit. But why did Sprint swap out the Clear equipment that could handle LTE and use the new LTE B41 equipment for a B25/B26 only site. I guess its possible that they went ahead and did a full Sprint build there. I didn't think to drop down to 3G and I can't force my phone to B25 or B26 (LG G4). While I was trying to figure out which antenna belonged to who I notice another small cell on top of the light post on the corner. Could this be the Clear site that got convert? At this point I'm not sure cause it showed Sprint B41^2 on SCP and on all the other small cells it only shows Sprint. Can anyone identify the equipment. I'm guessing its a safe bet to say the equipment on top of t-mobile is for t-mobile, they might own the property. Heres a picture of all the antennas and my speed test.
-
there really is no way to tell. the fiber most likely gets ran up thru the poll just like the electric does. edit: or ethernet connection
-
Here are the pictures and screen shots i promised earlier. 1st: small cell that isn't Sprint, I thought it was until found the Sprint one around the corner. Which is the reason i had a weak signal (I'm including this to show how similar both look and its almost impossible to tell them apart. The city must require the unifrom case to hide the equipment.) 2nd: signal when i was near the wrong small cell. 3rd: The correct Sprint Cell on 34th and Park 4th: Speed test from right under the cell.
-
Your location was correct thats why my signal was weak. Went to 34th and Park and got an awsome signal right below it. Speeds peaked at 55mbps and the ping was 13ms which I still can't believe.
-
It's got to be I pulled 45mbps
-
Majority of sites have b25/b26. The remain 3g only sites are primarily stelth sites. There are a few other that just have ancient hardware on them. They need more macro sites to till in suburban neighborhood gaps. The more retail areas need small cells and neighbouring macros with B41.
-
Just found one on park and 33rd st. Signal was weak but I pulled 45mbps and SCP had no clue what band it was. It was in front of Success Academy High School of the Liberal Arts. Ill upload picutes and screen shots later from a computer
-
I hope they are working there way down midtown. Like I said earlier the 29 to 34th street range is really congested
-
are these cell more aim towards people on the street and ground level in buildings or do they have vertical range to for people higher up in buildings. either way it will relieve the stress on macro cells and remove congestion.
-
yepp thats its, the google street view is from september 2015 and i see a box and antenna on the poll but the placement and size is different, im guessing this was a clear wimaxx mini cell. edit: doesn't show up in the maps on this site but one does for 59th and park, maybe thats its.
-
Yes i've noticed that as well, they select the best on based on ping. I usally see like 29ms ping and speeds at like 1-3mbps on auto select, if i switch to my perfect servers like towerstream, or optimum, the ping goes up to like 35 but the speeds will double.
-
Just got some information about 2 small site being planed for Rockville Centre NY. there was planing for 2 small cells in March but nothing has been done since. PM me if you want to know the locations. That's all I know. The placement is perfect, can't wait to see these install and turned on. They are well needed for the area.
-
gonna have to explore for it, i work on 33rd between park and madison. I've noticed major congestion all over midtown from like 29th street to 38th between 7th and park ave. im always on clearwire B41 someones a second carrier or CA and i never pass 5mbps download. hopefully sprint swaps these site out for 8T8R Sprint B41 so they can have a 3rd carrier and a 4th carrier when the time comes.
