1. Samsung SPH-A660 (2005-2006?) 2. iPhone 4S (2011-Present) The first one was my first phone, I couldn't imagine having to go back to that.

Sprint's speeds are suspiciously low.

Sprint Announces First Tri-Band 4G LTE Devices
Sonic13 replied to marioc21's topic in General Topics
I agree, but I wouldn't rule it out, I believe there are a few European carriers doing 800/2600Mhz LTE. Not supporting it (again) would be a pretty stupid move. -
South Jamaica, Queens; surrounded by LTE on 3 sides lol.
-
I typically see 0-350k DL speeds with 400-700ms pings, which is fine for web browsing, tweeting, etc. I try to avoid anything data intensive, it'll either stall or kill my battery quick (or a combination of both) or just not work altogether.
-
Yes, I know it isn't. I was basically stating that being in an area with strong LTE coverage isn't always a guarantee of getting NV 3G.
-
I'm aware, but I just fail to see how the NYC Market has had a "complete 3G overhaul" when only 50% of the sites have seen NV upgrades. If anything, it should be just that, fifty percent. But I'm no expert.
-
How can the 3G upgrades be fully complete if only 50% of the sites in the NYC market have seen NV upgrades? And if a site has been upgraded but the backhaul isn't ready, I don't see how it can be considered complete. I'm also referring to just NYC (Queens/Brooklyn), it seems like I'm almost always connected to a legacy site, even if I'm in an area with strong LTE coverage (which, I know means little), but that's just my luck, of course. I'm not complaining or anything, I know the wait is almost over (hopefully).
-
There's no way that's true, the NYC market is only 50% complete. Most places I frequent still have slow 3G.
-
I don't really care who arrives here first since both should have LTE when it's time for me to upgrade/switch in the fall, I just expected Sprint to be first. My main concern is with the 3G. I live in Queens, but I'm in the Long Island market half of the time.
-
I said the same thing lol, and it's looking like that will be the case. Not that it matters to me, since I don't have a phone capable of LTE, but still.

Next group of rumored cities to launch Tmobile LTE
Sonic13 replied to ericdabbs's topic in General Topics
I see T-Mobile is turning it's LTE on in parts of NYC, I guess a launch shouldn't be too far away. -
I noticed that I've been losing 3G lately along the Southern State Pkwy between exits 17 and 20, I wonder if work is being done around there.
-
The lowest dBm I've seen was -42, the highest was -136 I believe.
-
^^^Hillside & 168th Street.
-
What a difference 6 blocks can make. Hillside Avenue: Union Turnpike:
-
I had no idea that the sites were that close here.
-
Cool, that's only a few miles from where I am at the moment, too bad my phone doesn't support LTE.
-
I'm not surprised, AT&T's 3G was also spotty for me in Queens, compared to T-Mobile and Sprint anyways. And looking at some old speed tests, the 3G was in the same ballpark as Sprint's 3G. Definitely don't miss AT&T at all.
-
That's the exact same thing I go through everyday, especially during rush hours, I've done the airplane mode cycle so much that I can do it without even looking lol. But today it just kept cycling between "Searching..." and "No Service" no matter what I did. If it's NV, I wouldn't even mind, they can keep the tower offline for as long as they need lol.
-
I had no service for about an hour this morning, and when it returned, 3G wasn't usable until I left my area. As much as I want it to be due to NV, I doubt it is. On the bright side, I'm getting stellar service in Long Island today, in an area where pings in the thousands were the norm not too long ago.
-
Is there something preventing them from having the downlink on 1700mhz?
-
The Long Island market is nearly 1/4th complete. Whether there's LTE or not, idk.
-
T-Mobile to launch LTE in 30 cities by end of June (maybe)
Sonic13 replied to danielholt's topic in General Topics
I cringed. -
Southeast Queens.
