pslee said "AS OF NOW". I agree with that. Spark isn't widely available in NYC yet either. I haven't heard from anyone here saying they are getting 60Mbps every where in NYC. I think I saw 1 person mention getting Spark one or 2 times. I took a look at the maps and still don't see any improvement in financial district or most of northeastern Queens. By far, the worst and I would stop anyone from getting Sprint as of now as well. 2015, could be different but not right now. And not especially for those who want and need iPhones.

Verizon isn't going to sell to it's main competition
-
Run..... joking... I'll come back in a year. That's what I would do. Bright future... but not now.

I agree with nexgencpu about the wires down here. I know Verizon is still working on laying fiber down here. Instead of just fixing the copper lines that were damaged, they decided that this was the chance to upgrade all the lines to fiber. That's why all of the stores around here that used Verizon Fios don't have service after a year later. Many have switched to Cable providers or other forms of high speed internet. That definitely slows down the progress sprint has been making down here. My opinion of the area won't be great until end of next year down here. The next 6 months will be bad... meaning dropped calls and text sending slow. That's how it was when I had Sprint service all of this year. But as nexgencpu said, you have a triband phone. And with SPARK in NYC, you will be better off than those with dual band phones.
-
I would say to give it another year... that's when Sprint might be ready for prime time. Not yet however. You will be disappointed if you came from Verizon or AT&T.
-
If we can blame only Sandy... but we can't. Other providers are all fine in the financial district. I lived through Sprint issues for a year here and that's what i've been dealing with everyday at work. Not looking like it's going to get better.
-
They can still do that and throttle. It's still "unlimited for life".
-
To anyone that might know... Will Sprint iPad Mini Retina have SPARK usable? Or will it be only LTE 800 and 1900?
-
What I'm curious is if anyone has a triband phone that uses the more widespread LTE on the clear sites in NY. How their connection is compared to before.
-
T-Mobile
-
Better than paying a lot of money for roaming international. I prefer free to use 2G than expensively prohibitive to use 3G.
-
I get the LTE signal where I am on Wall and Broadway but cant use it. It's a weak signal to here. But I am glad there is progress but 4 months too late for me. Moving to T-mobile next month. Hopefully Triband will be full blown by end of 2016 and might come back if there is unlimited data still.
-
It's amazing how lower manhattan is still a dead zone... Only 3 towers 3G accepted. Amazing... Bayside Queens is still LTE free... Almost at the end of 3rd quarter of 2013.... Amazing...

Unlocked phone without having to wait 40 days?

NV Completion pushed back to middle of 2014
Keitarou replied to mhammett's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
We are experiencing the complete opposite. Come test wall st and broadway area. That area is awful. All I know is my signal strength is awesome. Everything else is not. And even before sandy happened, I never got 900kbs. 500kbs was normal. -

Weekend isn't the norm in lower Manhattan. I work here and will say the speed isn't just bad, it's the worst. come here during weekday and do a speed test. besides, summer isn't the best time to do a test. So many people out of the offices. -
Who cares if an operator is considered ghetto vs not. If they work for you, it works for you. If it doesn't, then it doesn't. I never understood why people needed to defend "their" carriers. It's just a cell phone... geez.
-
Considering over the last two weeks we had only about 10 new NV sites, I would say they have been slow recently. And NYC isn't even half way done.
-
Did anyone get their statements? A $5 fee if you ever need a second statement mailed to you. However, if you go online to print, that's free. A material change in the agreement?
-
Yes I know they won't stop deployment. What I meant was that the pace at which they are deploying won't change in Queens and Manhattan due to this launch. I was hoping that all of the sites that went offline recently comes on at launch and that would free up the people to work in Manhattan and Queens more regularly. But with nothing being different after launch other then being able to call in for having no LTE, that won't make work faster in other boros.
-
So this just tells me I won't notice anything different for the next few months in Manhattan and Queens.
-
So are the towers that were on and were turned off now all back online?
-
So those of you in Brooklyn and Bronx, notice anything different??
-
Probably in another 2-3 years... For majority of us who live inside cities, T-Mobile did a fine Job. Give credit where it's due. For those who live outside of cities, yeah... no choice but to wait for Sprint.
