  1. Same here. I got rid of Spectrum about 6 months ago and moved to Sling. Never looked back!! I initially started with the fire stick but then got an AIrTV from Sling. it has the OTA Antenna, tuner and integrated TV guide. Plus the standard Android TV apps. never been happier to pay 39.99 monthly bill for my Fios 50/50 internet.
  2. LTE is back online in midtown. I am connecting to B25, 26 and 41. CA seems to be working as well.
  3. These are some impressive speeds my friend
  4. Back to Legacy 3G. Haven't seen these speeds in a couple of years .
  5. What I noticed is that the CA gets turned off when the data is not in use. I had to run a speedtest in the background to capture service mode screenshot. SignalCheck was only showing LTE without any band information.
  6. Looks like CA is being enabled faster than I thought. Below are the results from W55 st and 6th Ave in Manhattan. I used to get less than 1MB on B41 during lunch hours.
  7. I agree. And as I mentioned before, Sprint network in NYC has improved tremendously in the past 1-2 years. Outdoors you are almost always connected to LTE. But then there are problems with the overburdened sites especially in Manhattan, and lack of LTE in several suburban areas. I usually visit Hicksville LI, Marlboro/Edison NJ and Kings of Prussia PA. Although the sponsor maps show most or all of the surrounding sites have been upgraded to LTE, there is barely any usable data. The point is that the current state of Sprint's network in the northeast is not comparable to other carriers.This can of course improve in the next year or two.
  8. Thanks for the update!! My reception at home improved significantly since I upgraded to a tri-band phone. I get decent B41 signal and never drop a call. Forest Hills and Rego Park area has improved significantly in the past year or so. At work I connect to B26 inside my office and get usable 1-3mbps. Most of my problems are with overburdened B41 in midtown Manhattan where speeds fall below 1x level. And lack of any LTE on parts of LI, NJ and PA where I frequently visit my family and friends. Hoping that decommissioning of WiMax and NGN project will improve service throughout the tri-state area. Whenever I run speed tests on my brother's TMO, he almost always put Sprint to shame.
  9. The Sprint stock has gotten murdered in the past couple of weeks. Looks like the analysts and shareholders are worried about how Sprint is going to fund the NGN project. Some of the recent articles point out that the NV project was poorly implemented and NGN may not be the saving grace. I am rooting for the underdog and listen to what Claure has to say on August 4th.
  10. Looks like S4GRU is now causing the Sprint stock to rise. That's pretty awesome. http://www.bidnessetc.com/35659-2-reasons-why-sprint-corp-s-stock-rose-7-yesterday/
  11. Wow...10-15dbm improvement will make a world of a difference. I need to get my hands on a tri-band device.
  12. I know what you mean. I went to NYIT for 4 years. I doubt there is any place to build cell towers without encroaching into someone's mansion or country club. This is one of the richest places in the US. Lots of old money.
  13. It was called the Parkway hospital. The address and pictures are in the below article. You can see Sprint towers in the pictures. http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20140122/forest-hills/former-parkway-hospital-becomes-eyesore-amid-uncertain-future
  14. Where do you see this information aside from Premier sponsors map? We need B26 and 1x800 everywhere in NYC. I live in Forest Hills Queens and the tower I used to connect to was on top of a hospital that went bankrupt 5 years ago. Since then the building has been abandoned but you can see Sprint towers on the roof but with no signal. I can barely hold a call for more than 5 minutes and I am not sure if Sprint will be relocating the towers at a different location (its been 5 years). At work, I have LTE towers right across the street and I can literally see the panels outside the office window. But the signal is too low to hold on to LTE because I am close to the 40th floor. B26 will be a blessing for people like me
  15. I can only confirm band 25 because I have GS3.
