    Robert can you tell what's scheduled to be done on these sites in the near future NY60XC155, NY05XC315 Sprint tells me upgrades are to be performed on June 14. I can't even complete a speed test when in the vicinity of these towers. Thanks.

    Sprint says one of the towers in my area will be getting some upgrades on June 14. Do you have the ability to check and let me know what kind of work is being performed?

    I don't understand how these guys can take such grave risk with their lives.

    I was about to post this, just finished watching it online. It's ultimately up to the technician to follow safety procedures but if he stands up to his/her foreman and say something isn't safe they will probably just get rid of him and replace him with someone who will do it. OSHA seems to only go after larger companies with deep pockets they can levy large fines on. The carriers distance themselves from the sub contractors they hire so they cannot be held responsible for safety violations. I work for a major north east utility and safety is paramount. Technicians are suspended if caught not following safety procedures. OSHA is always inspecting our job sites to make sure we are following safety procedures.

    What's fine to you? Just trying to get better feel for what your trying to describe. I had a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon back in december and battery life was terrible. Granted I had LTE on all the time, I had to charge the phone by 2pm everyday.

    I'm getting just below 1mbps up on 3G now so it's highly unlikely that wimax would be capped at 1 and 1.5.
  7. GregSmoov
    It's been a while since i've seen decent wimax speeds but I was definitely getting higher than the speeds you quoted.

    Now who's not reading? I said if I was able to get 5 megs down and 2 up consistently that would be great. The most data intensive app I use is Plex to stream my media from home which only has 2 MB's up so 5 down on my mobile is good enough.
  9. GregSmoov
    Well don't blame me for jumping straight to the screen caps LOL The screen caps you just posted are much better. I guess it will be sometime before LTE gets strained. When the OG Evo first launched I used to get 10Mbps down and 5Mbps up. Now it never goes above 5 down maybe 2 up, which is great if it was consistent but it's not sometimes 3G speeds are faster. Hopefully the capacity and operation under load will perform better than wimax does.
  10. GregSmoov
    Not that impressive considering you are probably the only person on the tower using LTE. If this is what it looks like under load I would be very impressed. Hopefully it's due to the weak signal.

    Not really, I consistently get 1 mbps+ download speeds from the tower I connect to at work.. The only time I ever saw 2 mbps or better was at home with the Airvana. If i disconnect the Arivana at home I can't even complete a speedtest and the rare occasion that it completes a speed test it's usually around .15mbs down and up.

    This must be a Network Vision tower even though it doesn't show on your maps
  13. GregSmoov
    Ran a slew of speedtest today at work. This is the only place i've seen usable 3G from Sprint
  14. GregSmoov
    I gotta say though in certain locations my 3g speeds have improved greatly got over 2 megs down on a few occasions so hopefully Network Vision in already underway.
  15. GregSmoov
    Nothing in the Bronx?

    How much of a donation does it cost to become a sponsor and have access to the build out maps?
  17. GregSmoov
    Is anything on this site official LOL. I was hoping for some LTE love by the summer since NYC was added to the 1st round market build outs.
  18. GregSmoov
    bump!
  19. GregSmoov
    Hi I live in NYC and pre-ordered an EVO 4G LTE and was wondering what's the status on Network Vision build out in my area. 3G speeds are atrocious and would hate to have this awesome phone hobbled with poor data connection. Thanks!
  20. GregSmoov
    I've been having bad data speeds way before Sprint got the jesus phone so that is not the reason
