  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. its an embeded facebook post, might not show on mobile.
  5. saw this the other day, not sure the location. anyone have an idea where this is?
  6. After 2 failed attempts at trying to get an answer about the DAS at Penn Station I finally got an answer, I hope its correct. I'll keep an eye on the antennas that are visible in Penn, I'm curious if the current ones can handle LTE or if the existing wiring can. IF the DAS is actually updated to B25, B25, and B41 it would 100% put Sprint as the best provider in Penn since all other carriers just have Macro sites pointed into the station.
  7. Just got this update from Gunther about JFK. Pretty interesting new. Im going to try to find out about Penn Station next. n
  8. Similar issue on LI. Phone was on 3G so I cycled it on airplane mode. Now it's stuck on no service no matter how many times I cycle it. If I put my phone in CDMA mode only it connects to 3G no problem Edit: it's back now
  9. funny they included Alaska in this graphic. Any update on any native service on Alaska?
  10. I hope this is the start of something much bigger. There are way to many GMO site in the upstate NY markets
  11. Does every Carrier have there own DAS? I spotted this in penn station. really macro sites? didnt think signal from outside could penetrate that far underground. View post on imgur.com http://i.imgur.com/zma7gOq.jpg
  12. Does anyone know who provides service in Penn Stations? Is it though a Sprint DAS or is it transit wireless. I believe Sprint is the only carrier who is still only 3G in Penn. I wonder what the hold up is in such a heavy traffic area.
  13. could this be prep for a second b25 5x5 carrier or even 10x10?
  14. I was at barclays center on Monday for an Islanders game and picked up Sprint B41 inside with a second carrier. Unfortunately i'm using my Nexus 6 until my G4 is fixed so no CA. But I was still able to pull 15-20mbps download and up 8-15mbps upload most of game. Dipped to 10-12mbps in between periods. Does anyone know if the stadium has a DAS or is there a macro site pointed right at it?
  15. Every time I'm in the subway I am impressed by this. Although I think its only 5x5 B25 (there might be B26) I'm always hitting 10-15mbps. I just wish they had service in the east river tunnel for LIRR commuters. I believe only Verizon has service there. Sprint roams on 1x but now its roams on EDVO but I can never get the data to work. Im pretty sure ATT doesn't have service and of course T-mobile doesn't and they wouldn't be able to roam on ATT anyway. The main terminal of Penn Station has great 3G just waiting for that LTE upgrade.
  16. i hope sprint gets all the second carriers sorted out before rootmetrics comes to town for Q1 2016 report. I think they can really be #1 this quarter if they play there cards right. If not defiantly by Q2 2016. In my opinion the only thing potentially stopping them from achieving this is that rootmetrics also includes the surrounding areas where B41 isn't as dense as NYC and the boroughs. Hopefully increased deployment should increase soon with the weather warming up.
  17. I picked up a 2nd Clear Carrier in Queens today along the Cross Island Parkway near Belmont Park. I noticed kind of late and was only able to snap a screenshot of SignalCheck Pro
  18. yeah i can see the tower. what i was trying to say was there is a section of roaming along i-35 on sprints coverage map. I guess what your saying is sprints coverage map just isn't accurate. im just used to it overstating coverage not understating it.
  19. The gap doesn't even show 3G coverage. So unless the map is inaccurate with the range of coverage this is a prime location for a new tower on a Nextel site. Or rebuild the surrounding GMO sites so they have B26 for farther range. the location more specifically is south of Huxley and north of Ankeny
  20. based on the Sprint coverage map there is a decent size gab of coverage along I-35 between Ankeny and Ames. Just curious is that accurate or do the towers north and south of the gap reach out far enough?
  21. Yeah, I meant Western nassau. The only CA site I had connected to in the past was by UA Westbury Stadium 12 off Brush Hallow Road. The site for Roosevelt Field Mall didn't have CA last time I checked, Im going to check later today to see if it changed. CA is now live on the Freeport water tower off Babylon turnpike & New Hyde Park Road and LIE service Road & the site off Northern State exit 29a to the LIE West. For those 3 sites I would only hit 15-20mbps now I hit 35-65mbps. I pass a few other sites on my way to work but the signal is weak and short so no time to track CA
  22. Seems like Wimaxx in NYC was also stopping CA from being active in West Nassau County, Long Island. Got back from FL this Sunday so I missed all the NYC CA launching. But the 5 or so sites in LI that I connect to have increased speeds and show a secondary carrier in the engineering screen. The only time before I noticed CA was West of the Wantaugh State Parkway. Signal Check Pro does't show the little 2 though. EARFCN are 41078 & 41276 I would love to get a some sort of community sourced mapping going as far as B41 towers for Long Island. I would have to start a thread in a premier sections. Any one interested in this?
  23. How have coverage and speeds been at JFK airport? I've had terrible experiences a few years back where I couldn't even get calls to go through.
  24. Might be alittle of topic but with the recent shut down of wimax in NYC do we know if there were any single mode Wimax sites that can now be switched over to LTE? I know most clear sites can do LTE and Wimax but do sites like this exist? If they do, I wonder if they will be replaced with new equipment first then turned back on with LTE or just turned on with one carrier of LTE Also on my way home from work I monitored SCP while driving through queens. Of the 5 or so sites i connected to they still had the 39... EARFCN
