I didn't mean over 5mbps Lol. I've seen some towers in Manhattan and parts of brooklyn where full bars of LTE cannot even run the speed test app at all lol.
-
I still never see 800 on my S3 either.. lte is getting better as they turn on more towers. There are spots in Manhattan where it is unusable though because it is so overloaded (if No neighboring towers are lte also) which is quite annoying.
-
Really? I thought it was preferred over the 1900? (I have s3). Sometimes when I go into a building and am losing signal it flashes to full bars but then switches to roaming, I was wondering if it was connecting but then dropping the 800 for some reason...
-
Is anyone picking up widespread 800? There's a lot accepted But I have yet to connect to 800mhz.

I have noticed that in all the areas of the city that have Cablevision (Brooklyn, the bronx) 4G is much farther along. You can literally draw a line in Brooklyn to divide where TimeWarner is and where Cablevision is, and see that all the sites in cablevision areas have 4G. Same deal with the Bronx Being far along. Wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Sprint Launching New LTE Cities Oct. 29
Ace41690 replied to Dkoellerwx's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
There is literally like 1 tower turned on in the entire financial district and it is so overloaded it is barely useable. Not to mention many locations where there is a strong LTE signal (<90rsrp) and speeds of <1mbit. You are going to launch service in Manhattan when there is no singal on Wall st? Again, LOL -
Sprint Launching New LTE Cities Oct. 29

Manhattan is not ready for launch. lol. -
Thats surprising since The Ikea had Horrible service last time I was there. Had signal but couldn't do anything with it.
-
Its horrible down here. 3g also does not work at all. And even for 1X voice If you just watch your phone the signal bars go 0-1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1-0-1-2-3-4-5 and so on. Very unstable! Hope they are working on the towers.

Wow what a difference on a weekday when everyone is at work (apparently on their phones not doing work). Went from 10mbps down to 300kbps, 500ms ping, upload FAILED on LTE in fidi. Guess theres only one tower active and a million people on it.
-
Today, I learned they will be knocking down the buidling across the street form where I work. This building has a sprint site on the roof Somehow I feel sprint is oblivious to the fact that this is even going on.. Will they move to another building and be proactive about it or are they going to wait until their antennas are in a pile of rubble??? I am not looking forward to no longer having service at work!

I fail to see what is wrong with posting a speed test. First of all this was MY thread about a specific site that was hijacked and turned into the "New York City Market" thread some time ago. ~whatever~. So if I wanna post a speed test, I'll post a speed test! Second of all, I, and I'm sure many others, would like to know what the LTE speeds are like in New York so far. You're ignorant if you think the way Sprint's network is performing in other places in the country would be the same as here. There is no other place in the country like Manhattan in terms of cell site density, number of people, etc. New York City is SPECIAL. Oh and also the center of the universe, don't forget that.

Getting LTE today form site NY25XC800 (the one that started this whole thread...)! Corner of 69th and york. Its been marked 3G accepted for a while. Finally! 3G speeds still suck from this tower. Less than 200kbps. LTE is pulling anywhere from 6mpbs to 15mpbs down (avg about 7...) and about 3mbps up with RSRP -64. Ping 36. When I go deep inside the building it drops to around 3mbps down 1mbps up with RSRP -108 (places where 1X signal is about 1-2bars). Not sure why the 3G is still so poor. From what I can tell by the engineering screen there are three sectors on this tower 4099, 4098, 4097, and three different channels 650, 675, 450. In any case, i'm just happy I finally have some LTE.
