Lmao well since were talking about T-Mobile check this out

http://m.technobuffa...lte-hands-on-2/

whenever I see these kind of videos, i feel like i made a bad decision sticking with sprint. good job t mobile. they have strong HSPA+ in NYC and it seems like they are working hard on their LTE.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-25/softbank-to-spend-as-much-as-25-billion-yen-on-gungho-stake.html

they are looking for different business venture?

One thing I feel few people realize is T-Mobile didn't start deploying LTE recently but has been working on it almost as long as NV.

 

Consider this, most T-Mobile PCS HSPA sites are broadcasting blocked LTE. PCS HSPA started showing up early last year in small pockets.

 

So, T-Mobile's LTE deployment actually started early last year like NV. T-Mobile has sent crews almost entirely to big cities, so to me its obvious why T-Mobile is getting ahead in big cities, its because they have been working almost as long as Sprint has and they've been focusing almost exclusively on these areas.

if tmobile deploys LTE fast enough with good coverage, they will be the best carrier here in NYC. they have good alternative with HSPA+ with easily topping 10mbps and their LTE seems to be 10 X 10 in NYC when time comes. Sprint will be more favorable when 800mhz and 2500mhz actually hits the market with good coverage, but until then, t mobile sounds like a really good deal.

20 ×20 lte from tmobile/metro pcs merger from this article. Anything sprint will offer to counter?

TMobile is going 10×10 after metro pcs merger goes through. What do you guys think

i am not sure what sprint did but signals in Flushing got very strong.

Tower is back on on Roosevelt and sanford ave. Surprise to find out that galaxy s3 gets better reception than galaxy note 2. Note 2 gets around -105dbm and s3 gets -99dbm.

this is a population density map of NYC.

http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/pdf/census/mappl1.pdf

i see some similarity between when and where the LTE is being deployed first with high population density.

more "2 data upgrade" in flushing. will go and check out later after work.

LTE back on in LIC/Astoria....mapping now

By looking at the Sensorly, the tower that has lte must be facing north east since it has good solid purple on the northeast side than the other? Too bad my condo is on the other side of the town

Seems they turned off the LTE signal, it was on this morning and then it cut right off and doesnt seem to be anywhere else

i got -98dbm to -99 dbm indoor in my condo in LIC. but the signal was going from 4g to 3g constantly. i thought they were working on something there. The signal was not weak enough to drop.

Will it be on 1900?

1700mhz

t-mobile launching LTE. they have seen about 60mbps download max and 30mbps upload. they said 100 million people are able to use LTE by mid 2013....

are they deploying 10x10? sprint LTE seems to be on the lower hand. Sprint really has to step it up. the deployment seems to be very very slow.

I will do intense sensorly mapping tomorrow at lic when I get near my apartment

Just did some sensorly on the #7 train between queensboro plaza and 40th street.

Dark purple at long island city. Awesome

Has anyone used metropcs lte phone? How is their lte coverage and speed in nyc?

What site do you check to see when new towers are built & to see when there are Data speed updates .

https://network.sprint.com/

not everyone agrees with "2 data speed upgrade" = LTE ready, but it seems very reliable source when you match it up with sensorly.

2 data upgrade at long island city, a block away from where I have a condo. awesome. will find out if LTE is turned on this weekend.

Check it out to all my android users

Will gs4 capable using 800mhz lte? If it is, I am switching.

Looks like Rockaway has LTE

2 data speed upgrades seems to be very very reliable.

Speaking of horrible, I am having major issues trying to stay connected with either my Note 2 or my Tri-Fi Hotspot here in Hillcrest Queens. Specifically Parsons and 82nd drive. I've never seen it this bad. Its taking me forever to read and reply to posts or just surfing the net. wow. Guess they are working on that tower down the street.

little neck has pretty good reception at where i work but last week was atrocious. no reception at all indoor and 3g was non-existing. it got better yesterday with very solid 3g speed, but no 4g yet.

saw someone working on cell tower in flushing and i found this truck.

hard to see RRUs but the site is definitely sprint site. I noticed one site is shared by many carriers in flushing Queens.

http://dl.dropbox.co...%2016.13.02.jpg

 

BTW, this site is located 156th street and Sanford Ave in Flushing.

saw this truck at the same building this morning going to work. has anyone heard of cobra communication??

Absolutely horrible 3g speed in corona and elmhurst. This might be a good sign!

I'm looking at the Sensorly map (online) and there is alot more purple in that area compared to last month.

Its so weird looking at that Sensorly map of the city. major areas untouched are

Manhattan:

Midtown West, Lower East Side, The Village and Lower Manhattan.

Brooklyn:

Greenpoint, Carnarsie, Bergen Beach

Queens:

parts of Astoria, Sunnyside, Jackson heights Middle Village. College Point, Whitestone, Southeast Queens (St. Albans, Laurelton) and the Rockaways

Staten island:

Basically all of the borough.

 

What I find funny is that you see spots of purple in the middle of the bay (probably picking up a signal while riding the Staten Island Ferry) lol

In flushing, the lte towers are on and off. They are testing. I am still very surprised that queens and manhattan has so little action compared to brooklyn and bronx. Hope it picks up.

They need to move into bayside and elmhurst area. Large white area on sensorly.

Definitely. Astoria and Elmhurst is a very populated area and they must work faster there. I know that people live in queens generally favor verizon due to better coverage and I completely agree with them. Sprint/at&t/tmobile have work cut out for them in queens.
