This is Sprint in general. If you are lucky to be in an lte area or good 3g area, you are in good shape. Otherwise Sprint is straight trash.

I'm south of you out near Bradenton. We had an entire network failure here early this morning. Then when it came back up its been really slow ever since. Wonder if its related, maybe whole southeast region was affected.

In Gainesville and lately Sprint has been improving but for the past couple days it's been horribly slow like it used to be. I thought Sprint was improving pretty fast and then all of sudden I'm back down to under 1mbps or worse. I checked my speed last night and I was barely hitting .01 mbps. Switched my prl to Verizon and hit a little over 1.2mbps. It's just sad sometimes.
Hey, maybe it means they are about to turn in 4g at full capacity and are just getting prepared.

I just thought I'd let you guys Sprint has started upgrading the towers to Network vision here in Los Angeles.. The past two days my service has been down (obviously needed). Larry from the howard forums commented saying Sprint has started upgrading the towers in the Los Angeles market.. If you notice little to no signal you know why! I have already noticed a jump in speed from 40kbps to 1000kbps.
larryt510 said:
They have begun work on network vision here in the LA market (including those zips you listed). Only a handful of sites have been completed so far but more will be coming soon. I do not believe it would cause any long term outages though as the sites are normally taken off line (if necessary) at a time when there's the least impact on the users.

It's the Now or Later Network. If you actually have 10Mbps down WiMAX (which is about 5% of active WiMAX networks) you get things pretty fast. You still buffer YouTube for 10 seconds before it starts. Although on the highway about every OTHER tower in a WiMAX area you do a WiMAX-3G switch every 10 seconds.

The results you posted are consistent with my experience on Sprint in SE Michigan. I'm speaking past my knowledge here, but I believe the network hasn't been upgraded since the EVDO rollout some 5 or more years ago (aside from wimax of course (which is nearly non-existent in MI)). Now think of all the new smartphones and the demand on that old network.
I don't know that it has so much to do with wireless reception as it does the towers connection to the backbone and the demand on that connection. I get into some congested areas and have full signal but crawling data speed.
There's some speculation to ponder.

When I have hellish speeds I force roaming on the 11115 PRL. Whether or not it's immoral or that its a breach of contract, I think its justified given the fact that I was in Ashburn Virginia a few weeks ago and had a ping to Ashburn of something like 783. The speeds were pathetic as well, but forcing roaming brought both speeds and pings up to expected values. Good thing we know that Verizon can keep good connections.
That's some advice. There are some threads about loading the 11115 PRL which allows one to roam on Verizon's faster EVDO network. It's one of the more difficult mods I've done but the process is well documented.
Here I go talking outside my knowledge again. I believe that Sprint has to pay Verizon for the use of that roaming arrangement and they don't appreciate abusers. There have been posts about nasty grams and contract termination.

I really appreciate the camera having zero shutter lag! Or else these exact pix wouldn't be possible. they are indeed working. This side of Conroe (Willis) seems well blanketed with strong 4g. Inside the store and signal doesn't degrade like Wi-Max. They are heavily capping the upload lol it wants to go!

No. Sprint antennas are shaped pretty much like the antennas used by the other carriers -- rectangular panels facing in a directional sector pattern. The size might vary with frequency bands, and the new-generation Network Vision antennas would look subtly different because they are future ready to handle the 800 MHz band as well as 1900 MHz PCS. But any round antennas you have spotted probably are microwave backhaul.

By default on Sprint phones the bars only indicate VOICE coverage. They have nothing to do with 3G EVDO or 4G LTE reception. I have aseen a few custom ROMs that split the bars into two for voice and data, but the regular software doesn't make this distinction.
There is a chance you could be connected to one tower for voice but evdo is down on it so you are using a different tower for data, and an even higher likelihood with LTE since most towers haven't been upgraded yet.
Top one is from this evening in New Braunfels. Nice.

I do on occasion, but its because our 3G network is over loaded. they have us set to get LTE @ some point. its all based on how hard your tower is being hit and very little to due with your phone or sprint as a whole.
all good here ; )

I experienced this as well. I thought it was me because I reset some severs to
0.0.0.0
And 0
But when I changed the back data was still slow

Yes! I'm wondering if it had anything to do with the software upgrade. My data used to be blazing fast. Now I can be stuck with 100-200 for download

Mine are far better than they were on my 3D. Plus I get LTE now at work, love it.

My data speeds are better than they were on my E4GT. We are still on 3G here.

My et speeds were better for me than this. Even wifi seems slower, is weird

Maybe Sprint is upgrading the towers there. I heard the speeds get slow while the work is under way...
New LTE towers in Austin installed this month. Lays just say I'm not complaining.

Doesn't this phone not have EVDO but SVDO or something of nature? When it comes to 3G it all depends on your location to pick up SVDO speeds. During speedtests in my area, with full bars, I'll get 1.2mbps down but most of the time I struggle to hit 1. In my girlfriends neighborhood...it is constantly 2-3mbps down. I would imagine because her 3G towers are upgraded already? The only reason it doesn't bother me is because I actually have 4G LTE most of the time in my house and whenever I go outside or down the street etc.
Data speed is awful here....even close to the tower.
When I upgraded to the Note 2 they took away my discount. Now I have crappy data AND a higher bill. We aren't supposed to get LTE until end of 2013 in St. Louis. I really don't think we will get in the small town I live in at all. So, I think I am taking this back and switch to AT&T. What good is unlimited data if its so slow that I cant use it. At&t us the only option. T mobile and vzw have no coverage here. Sprint was of no help including the retentions department. BYE SPRINT

That would be awesome for me. I easily hit under 100 at work with full signal.

Switched towers in the speed test app. Forgot to screen shot the original test. Once I get to work tomorrow morning, ill redo the test and screen shoot it. Test was performed at home for this thread. There are two Sprint 4g w/LTE towers in the process of going live in my area (Lincoln Park, MI). Till Sprint gets on the ball with better service around here, will just have to put up with things. My phone was doing going whacko w/roaming m and "preparing network" mesgs. As I typed this, got a preparing network mesg. Again, people with patience are needed while on Sprint's service..lool.

What you're speaking of is eHPRD that's the high speed 3g you're seeing, if you're getting that, chances are LTE is nearby or being turned on soon

Here's the new test while at my work. As you see huge difference then when at home. Thats due to being much closer to the tower.
