LTEBrooklyn

I found out what was slowing my Optimum internet speeds significantly! It was my router, it has througput limit. It hits 35 Mbps upload but won't go past 50 on the download.

 

For Christmas I asked my mother for a new gigabit capable router (I'm no ordinary teenager) so I can get my actual speed out of the ISP.

Thought u were older. Btw thought u had the 50/25 package. U upgraded to 101/35!!!???

I forgot to post this yesterday, but this was done on my Aunt's GS3. This was done INSIDE of the Optimum Store on East 45th Street in Brooklyn.

 

Has anyone ever gotten a ping this low on LTE?

 

 

I have gotten 22ms before. It's rare, but I guess it's a possibility

I must say, driving on i95 , watching my phone hand off from LTE tower to LTE tower going 55MPH without breaking a sweat does bring tears to my eyes! LOL! Hope all of you enjoyed your holidays..

Where u coming from?

My ping at home is 10-15, my LTE ping is 30-70 but LTE still seems more snappier & faster.

Maybe it's in your head it's also possible the things you do at home and out when you have LTE are different, like where ping actually matters.

Happy ThanksGiving To You All.

Happy Black Friday! All phones are on sale if anyone is doing upgrades.

Smh , It's Google not Apple cause I can stream HD on Netflix over LTE lickity split. McTube no longer exist in the App Store, well I didn't find it at least.

Get "ProTuber" on App Store. That will do it for u

No real point in discussing something that isn't going to happen.

Hope your right

I could never switch to T-Mobile. They work great in the city, but their horrible outside of it. Signal drops like a sack of bricks and data is slower than legacy 3G. They can throttle me to 1.5mbps, but lower and I would switch to Verizon.

Chances are if the throttle, it would be at 2g speeds. I have the s4 with tmobile right now and the speeds all over ny are amazing. Was also in jersey and most places had lte at 25-30mbps speed. Occasionally it went down in some areas to 4g hspa which still gave me a solid 5mbps.

I have a poll for everyone. I wasn't going to start a new thread.

If sprint started throttling users let's say after 3gb, how much interest would you actually have in Nv, etc?

I think speed to the point of spark is really useless and actually not beneficial at all if they ever start with slow downs.

Did you know if you downloaded at a full 60mbps for 8-9 minutes, you would already be at 3GB!!!

I know I would go straight over to TMobile. What do u guys think?

We need signal check for ios please!!!

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.

I have a dual band LTE phone 800/1900. Yet to get 800 yet.

Any new reports?

I'm getting some nice pings here in Jamaica, Queens:

 

Nice

New ipad will have band 26!

Yess it was in Elmont , it lasted a couple seconds but it shows that testing is happening. Yay ,

That's awesome. It was such a short time that you couldn't get a speed test?

Isaiah, We have the same background on both our phones. That's pretty cool

Elmont?

Happy bday guys...unfortunatly both you guys are iphone owners. Cause im sure Band 41 on a nexus 5 would have made an amazing bday gift. You can still look forward to Band 26 on the iphone 5s.

Thanks! Got the 5S! Band 26 please hurry up!

Happy Birthday & we can all dream. Funny thing my Birthday's today (Oct 18) hopefully i'll get LTE all around town lol.

Happy birthday! That's cool that our birthdays are 1 day apart. As for LTE all around any time soon, good luck!

Happy Birthday!!!

 

The city will likely be done in the middle of next year.

Thanks! Sprint projected end of 2013, but we all know that's not gonna happen. Mid 2014 maybe end 2014 likely

Great to see that NY & L.I. has had so many LTE approvals.

I was hoping by my birthday, (which is Today) NYC would be all complete. Oh well

In other news, I felt like I was in the future today while I was in Ikea's eating area. I was connected to LTE and CDMA 800 at the same time.

Lol you go to ikea a lot. You need that much furniture or is it the actual 800 connection that makes you come back so often?

It's a real shame. Everyone thought that TD-LTE was just a simple software switch, but apparently not. They have the spectrum available and they should try to utilize it ASAP.

"While the data is free, it won't be particularly fast. Customers can expect network speeds at around the same level that they get in the US after they are throttled. Chief Marketing Officer Mike Sievert said the average speed customers would get would be around 128 kilobits a second.

 

It's not enough to stream a video well, but can handle streaming music, e-mails, and social network status updates, he noted."
