Roaming on VZW 1x with Sprint LTE.

So I was getting 1x bandwidth at LTE connection rate? No wonder the speeds were so bad.

Nope. 1x was on VZW hence the indicator.

These are from a spark enabled phone connected to a band 41 tower.

I wasnt aware the note 2 was 800mhz lte enabled. I thought it only ran on the 1900hmz band. I also havent heard anything about them testing sprint spark In phoenix

Its not the note 2 i left it for the lg g flex and theres alot of places with spark enabled already. You should visit s4gru.com theres alot of great info there about sprints network real info also i thought band 41 was the 2600mhz or whichever one it is? because here in miami we wont get the 800mhz till june/july.

2600mhz wont penetrate buildings worth **** either though. Its even worse than 1900mhz. But yeah, I have a perfect 4g signal inside a building that normally blocks all 4g the moment you walk inside. So I dont know what sprint did to make it work inside a huge mail facility on a note 2.

Kinda miss my Note 2 but definitely not the Sprint data speeds. I really tried to give Sprint time to get it togther and even waited a few months after T-Mobile announced the ETF promo before switching. Was averaging about 3 mbps lte download speeds here in socal and even then Youtube videos still wouldnt load, Pandora would buffer and not play about 50% of the time. Now with my Note 3 this is what I'm usually getting on T-Mobile....

I can confirm crappy speed on LTE for Sprint. If it were not for the contract I would be out already.

Sprint just performed some updates in my area, Not super great but i went from around 6mb to getting around 18mb on my speed test results. So they are finally working on it

LTE? What is that? (Sprint 4G LTE Customer)

I am a GN2 user on the Sprint network. I live in San Francisco, CA., and the Sprint 4G LTE network here is a complete and utter failure. If I can get a 4G signal at all, my speeks are are around 1.5mb to 3mb per second. That translates to shi**y speeds for me! The really messed up part about it is that I waited over a year after buying the phone for the Sprint 4G LTE network to arrive here, and this is what I get. I was told by Sprint 6 months ago that they were still testing and that's why the speeds were slow. What about now? I have 4 lines with these thieves and have been paying for 4G LGE without having 4G LTE, and now I'm still paying for 4G LTE and still don't have it even though I have it? WTF?

I was in this same situation here in Miami but band 25 is the network that majority of the people are connected to if they are not on a spark capable phone. I have the lg g flex which has the new spark network bands and these are my speeds.

Here in a small town Oklahoma I'm usually sitting around 31mbps on the Sprint network

yayo685 · Sep 13, 2014

Yeah the problem is when you have sprint service in a heavily populated area you get sub 1mbps. However of you go somewhere that not a lot of people have sprint then you will get great speeds. Sprint is suffering from the same thing wireless access points get when they have too many users on them. Sprint just needs to get more towers.

Currently I can voucher that the voice coverage is great but the data speeds are horrible.
