Short rant about network vision

So they are doing network vision updates in my area.
The area's that are done are pretty nice. No boost in signal which is fine, but the data speeds are fantastic! Unfortunately that's downtown only. The rest of the city on the other hand though had it's tower's taken offline for the upgrade and the towers serving us is now just the ones downtown. At home i went from 4ish bars to roaming missing calls, texts and such. Wouldn't care but I missed a few phone interviews today and pretty livid about that.
Hopefully I'll be reaping those benefits soon, and hopefully they are deploying lte not just upgrading the cdma.
/end rant

There are some of us who experience no signal all the time and it's not from towers being taken down to be upgraded as well so cheer up

My "4g" experience with sprint, is 600ish Kbps at best down, yet somehow 1.2-1.4 Mbps up. Eh, at least I get descent call quality.

99% sure upload is throttled to 1.5 Mbps. Being the total capacity of each tower is not being hammered for upload you usually see the 1.4* Mbps like I do. Download on the other hand is getting hammered.
Before anyone compains omg throttled. That is how it is supposed to be done, when you have a limited resource you qos throttle it.

4g in my area LA works well. In doors its pretty **** but 3g is terrible

Because there are some of us that check coverage maps, before we sign a carrier's contract.
That is obviously Sprint's fault.

The coverage map for my area still shows Wimax as being available. 2 years later still nothing. So.... Some of us do check, and get done in by false or misleading info. Which ironically is sprints fault

Sprint LTE speedtest

Yes i know its only fast because hardly anyone is using it other than Evo lte and Gnex owners, but still its nice to finally get some decent data speeds... wats funny is that our U-verse at home is one third as fast as this...

I hate you lol hows the connection strength? Like does it disconnect alot?

How does lte work? Is it like wimax, based off of a wifi sort of function? Or is it a stable connection like 3g?

Lol, the connection strength isn't too shaby... It does disconnect often but that is because number one, the coverage is still somewhat spotty and two this phone has that "best connection" thing where it automatically picks the best coverage spectrum. So when i'm at home it always wants to pick my wifi since it's the strongest signal... the pic was actually taken while driving which was even more impressive... i wish there was a way to manually enable LTE like Wimax because sometimes you're in an area where u know there is 4g coverage cuz u got it b4 but the phone may not be scanning when u happen to drive thru that area. But once it is more widely deployed it will be like 3g where u can get it everywhere and provide a stable connection.

LTE is the next step 4th generation in wireless radio data transmission(although none of the carriers are actually providing true 4g speeds yet, the capacity is there)... unlike wimax it doesn't have a completely separate antenna that has to be manually switched on and off... its a different radio frequency but runs off of the same antenna as your standard 3g if im not mistaken... eHRPD tells the phone when to switch from 3g(CDMA) to LTE... as stated above once the deployment is widespread it will be a stable connection just like 3g... but thats years at minimum b4 we see that kind of coverage...

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Don't waste your time moving lol. I live in Atlanta and its so spotty we might as well not have it. I don't get it at home or work. A few spots as you drive come on but what good is that? Quite disappointing really. However when i did get it and stopped, i got a 35meg test speed.

In Joliet, IN for business and I'm getting between 17 and 20 down and 4 to 6 up. Not bad considering I'm not getting anything in North Dallas where I live even though the Sprint Coverage map has me completely covered in LTE.....Sprint Coverage map sucks to be honest.

I have yet to see 4g LTE in my status bar and I live in SF area. Is there a toggle bar somewhere or in the settings area? I'm using blazer ROM

Signs of 4g lte???

4g in LI is a secondary market, but I bet they are already starting to change to Network Vision. The whole Island will have 4G LTE by mid to late 2013. As soon as the NYC market is finished your area will get a LTE bath.
I saw on the S4GRU map that Queens and parts of Hempstead was already being worked on for Network Vision.

yeah ive been hoping those predictions are true... i work in queens and am in NYC often, but haven't had to much 1x experiences there yet...
hear NYC should be by the end of this year, so hopefully wont have too long of a wait...

Dying for some LTE in the city and Bx, my phone is pretty much like a dummy model when I'm at work.

Anything below 100k is from my desk at work in downtown Portland, Oregon. Gotta love the 7/473 one. The 300k+ ones are from my living room in the burbs where I have wifi so I never use 3g there. I hope the LTE service is not so lackluster at work...

I'm in phoenix and my speeds are perfectly fine.

I would espect better speeds for paying 10 extra dollars a month for advance data. I have to use wifi most of the time when i am indoors.

well, my fastest speeds are at work (the tests at around 3am)
I work inside of a big steel building where sprint is basically the only carrier that gets perfect service inside my building. They've been upgrading the tower near my work a lot too. Last year I wasn't even getting half my current speed

My fastest speed might come close to matching your slowest test. The test result I see around hete are barly three digits, at 500kps down and 300up.

Hey guys I'm sitting at campus waiting to do my Fasfa and I decided to do a speed test. I know tmo is releasing lte in Providence rhode Island but I didn't think it was this early

That looks like HSPA to me. Speeds are consistent with HSDPA and short of typical HSUPA. That and your signal indicator shows H+.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

What kind of speeds did you pull before? I live in Reno and I get speeds like that- and we do not have LTE yet.

I usually pull 5 never anything above 15-20

I can't believe you are getting speeds like that in LA- I took a trip to Irvine a few months ago and couldn't get more than 3mbs. I am so used to the speeds in Reno that range from 9mbs-19mbs consistently, I was so frustrated! How entitled we are now. I remember when 1.5mbs was FAST! I can't wait to try out true LTE, already my data speeds are faster on "4g" than my WiFi connection at home.
