4g sighted again near aurbundale lirr station near flushing. Was moving inside the train so couldnt map it on sensorly. But it was there and I took some snap shots.

 

 

Can you map it on Sensorly?

Can u sponsors see which tower in flushing has 4g?

 

 

Can you map it on Sensorly?

I will once I get there again

 

 

Where in Flushing?

Northern blvd 155th street. Unstable speed and signal

I briefly pick up 4g in flushing!!!

finally in Queens?????

not really related to New York market, but it is a good article.

http://www.valuewalk.com/2012/12/sprint-clearwire-softbank-partnership-not-good-for-rivals/

just wanted to share.

"If the FCC accepts this transaction, Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE:S) will be the largest spectrum holder in the United States with an average of just over 200 MHz of the spectrum across the country. According to the National Broadband Plan, there is 547 MHz of spectrum useable for wireless broadband. Sprint, if the transaction is approved will possess more than a third of the available spectrum allocated by the U.S. government, but with less than one sixth of U.S. customers. That gives Sprint (on average 200 MHz and 56 million subscribers) the chance to use roughly 3.57 MHz of spectrum to support each of their subs. Compare that to a Verizon (on average 105 MHz and roughly 100 million subscribers) which has only 1.05 MHz of spectrum to upkeep each customer’s uses. More spectrums mean faster speeds, more capacity, and a stronger competitive position."

the most important phrase from the article

Is this a guess on your part ? Or did the same Sprint rep that told you LTE would be up by the Whitestone Expwy by Jan 11 tell you this?

 

If its not on the NV Map then taking a Sprint representative's word or even guessing on your own part is not helping this thread.

 

I am looking forward to LTE in Queens but I will not get my hopes up when someone on this thread makes a guess or quotes a Sprint representative.

 

iWait

too harsh

 

 

I am not sure, but I remember that's what everyone used to have and talk about. So I would guess they were once that good?

I am sure sprint will catch up. 2013 is their year to turn it over and if not, it will be a big disappointment. If it wasnt for this site, I would've dropped sprint and went to tmobile. I hope I made the right decision.

 

 

I honestly believe that depending on how well Sprint does in the NYC Market it will determine how well Network Vision changes their customers mind. If Sprint fails to deliver well I would expect the downfall of Sprint. By the end of february I expect LTE in more places, how ever I know NYC won't be half complete. By June I expect NYC nearing completion. I just want Sprint to claim #1 spot in fastest and most stable network, they once were king right?

Where they ever that good? I really dont know since I started using sprint only two years ago

 

There was rain on Friday maybe the work wasn't completed !

I am waiting for lte signal in queens but no luck yet. Places I been to last week are flushing, littleneck, bayside, long island city, astoria and also many places on the way but no lte anywhere.

The 11th came and went. No LTE and no speed increase.

A reason why I always doubt the Sprint reps.

yep. i live around a mile away from the DMV and no sign of LTE.

 

 

I would say the towers yes, but the backhaul is probably done way before. Unless that can also be done in less than a week that would be pretty amazing.

How long does it take for them to get the lte up for the towers that already has nv done?

I've delt with quite a few customers who are having service issues due to NV, so Flushing is being worked on.

you were right. from Monday to thursday, i was getting really bad reception at work but today, i get awesome 3G speeds near 2mbps down and 1mbps up. they work pretty fast. NV can be up less than a week?

 

 

I don't believe those dark panels are Sprint panels. Sprint panels are usually thinner in nature, and I've never seen a site with 4 panels, max I've seen is three.

I think few of those are definitely sprint towers since signals are very strong near those towers. And since I see clearwire panels, I just guessed they are sprint towers. I also see that that site on the network enhancement map for speed and capacity. Maybe its combination of both sprint and other carrier?

so looking at the map in sensorly, will LTE coverage be the same as the coverage in the 3g map?

if i am not mistaken, i heard people saying 1900mhz LTE has worse penetration than 1900mhz 3g signals? but when 800mhz LTE rolls around, things will be different.

 

The small round one looks like a microwave relay for Clear.

 

The white ones are probably the newer panels from NV.

do you happen to know if they are replacing the darker panels into the newer white ones or just adding more of those white ones?

I've delt with quite a few customers who are having service issues due to NV, so Flushing is being worked on.

yes. where i work used to have good speed in terms of 3g and 1X reception, but for the last week, i get one or two bars and the phone keeps on toggling back and forth to different towers and dropping 3g signals.

i find these towers near by my apartment. its on Roosevelt Ave and Parsons blvd in flushing. i get great speeds around 1.8mbps. i noticed there are different colored panels, some of them looking a little grey and some of them are white. of course the small round ones are clear wimax? what are the differences between each different panels?

I am still very surprised that manhattan isnt the first place the lte signals are set up. Who wouldve thought bronx is the first place with lte.

That means that your phone is switching between cell sites.

yea that is exactly what i thought. but the thing is if i ran three tests consecutively, first one is good speed, second one slow with very bad ping and third exam comes same as the first one. not sure what is going on. also when i am at home, the signal fluctuates so much. i get 4-5 bars -80dbm 8asu and seconds later i have 0-1 bar -88dbm 4asu or 2asu. the bars go up and down very often and i get very annoyed.

Those are awesome speeds! Perfect example of how NV makes everything better!

funny thing is, when i run speedtests in littleneck queens, i get these speed consecutively. i get great ping and speed for one test, and on the next test like 10 seconds later, i get 500+ping with slow speeds. very odd and i do not know why.

Im getting Great Speeds At the Barclays Center In Brooklyn. Currently at the Nets Game

I get better speeds nowadays nearing 2mbps download 1mbps up pretty much everywhere I go in Queens. I used to get creepy speeds but it certainly has improved overall

 

The first three tests

There should be heavy traffic.

Is this a sign???

LTE , I had to call sprint network ticket department since theirs a out in my area and they told me its due to NV LTE

I am about a mile away from the dmv. Any chance I will be able to tap into lte in my house?
