Reason for the San Francisco 4G Delays
- Thread starter liquidkernel
- Start date
Since I been hearing about these lolsuits (city vs providers) about ugly anntenas and preventing new ones to be put up, I suggest the carriers should just completly cut off service to the area until these cases are resolved. Just sayin. I cant stand people who stand in the way of progress.
I kind of agree with that. However the reality is they should be able to use existing towers for this "new" infrastructure. So I understand both sides of the fence...however with that being said. They can put one in my back yard...LOL I dont care.
I was at 750 Harrison last night and got 4G for the first time. Could have been the same 4G site your girlfriend was accessing. I was only getting one bar and the data rate was painfully slow (300kbps). Nice to know they are testing, though.
wow.. i should try it out later downtown..
i don't quite get the signal reference though, is it 2 bars of 4g or full bars of 4g?

I dont know how far it's range is, but its around Stevenson and Fremont Blvd.
To those in SF. I noticed there was 4G in Chinatown yesterday.
Take a look at "Map Viewer" app, by Sensorly. Now it shows 4G in downtown SF and on Bay bridge, it was not green last week. Good coverage around San Jose. I live in Walnut Creek, had good signal in downtown.
I just noticed Sensorly is showing 4G signals now in the city. We're getting somewhere, at least.
is it a pretty accurate app? i read from some post here in the forums that its not that precise in mapping out places with 4G..
I hadn't tried 4G in Walnut Creek until last week when I used Sensorly. At least here it seems to be accurate, there is a 4G signal where app shows it and no signal otherwise. I take Bart every day through SF to San Bruno, can never get 4G signal underground.
I would also love 4G in the East Bay, i've only been on 4G once, and it was in Vegas and it was great.
4G in Sunnyvale, just off of 237 and Carribean. I'm seeing very good signals (2 arcs on the 4G symbol, 5-6 bars on the standard signal meter). Running a bandwidth test on speed.io, I get 2603kbps down, 960kbps up, with latency 173ms. On speedtest.net, I get similar numbers: 2.59Mbps down, .93mbps up, latancy 152ms. Now, when will the rest of the peninsula get lit up so I can have 4G on my entire commute?
