Official Speed Test and WiMax Deployment Thread

[eieio]

weeee! do me!!!

boston (more specifically; cape cod).

Boston is lit but looks 45-60 days out. the ping is awful there

First time poster, long time lurker. I just had a question for eieio like many others have. I don't need a speed test but I was more curious to how far outside NYC the 4G rollout would reach? I live right out the outskirts of Manhattan in New Jersey and was wondering if any parts of NJ would be included when switched on? Maybe more specifically Cliffside Park, NJ

I am not sure but the NE looks like it will be well lit in that area.. N.E seems to be strong this year.. I figure by Christmas there will be no holes at all, rumor of course.. Of all the areas N.E. looks strong in coverage

there seems to be a lot of consideration from Sprint on the East Coast... reminds me of the Walmart map.

population and wealth density.

I was thinking the same thing. But I can not see all of the tower locations and none of the ones I see indicate walmart locations.

This might have been asked before honestly I didn't read all the pages since my last post, but since you're checking could you give me speeds for NYC?

NYC is strange DL is very low but uploads are in the 3+ range. Makes me think they are tweaking or getting ready for media uploads on the 12th

Nice! That's some serious upload for a mobile device, I doubt the DL speed is going to be that low but I agree they might just be tweaking it.

Eieio could you check San Angelo, TX? It's a smaller city but I've seen similar sized cities in the region on the WiMax list...thanks.

 

[eieio]

Guys I am guessing alot of this stuff. I don't want anyone to be mad if I am off.

I will not say I am sure, I am positive or none of that stuff like other guys..

I am guessing based on what I can test and get feedback on.. So please don't kill me if I am off..

I can not check specific cities but states and it will list locations..

Yeah so that's not listed? Is Abilene?

We appreciate the guesstimates even if they are just rumors it keeps the excitement going, especially on slow media days. I wouldn't want you to get fired over anything though be careful.

 

[eieio]

Can you please check the entire world?

Would you believe there are 500+ wimax networks deployed.. by the years end I expect that to be doubled..

 

[stevbl01]

BRB I have to switch IP's.. You guys are gonna get me fired.. lol

We don't want you to get fired!!!

 

[Eguy]

We won't. We'll just tie you up and leave you in a dark closet .

 

[eieio]

Dallas
San Marcos
San Antonio
Corpus Chrispi
Mc allen
Dallas
Monterrey NM

Any one of these close by?

These are rumored of course

The get fired stuff was half hearted.. I plant the seeds that make the flowers grow. So I think I will be ok

 

[eieio]

Texas will be well lit up by the end of the year.. I think Him/her will be fine.. But 30 days free trial would be the best option.

It might be the first prepay 4g state.. lol

The coverage is not looking very wide but NJ is lit up. So they might be tweaking towers or focusing towers for that event..

I do not know NY very well. I only been there a few times, brooklyn, ny and NJ for work and rolled out. They might be alot I am missing there

 

[GoldenStatePanda]

when sprint says "San francisco" is getting 4g, i hope that extends to the whole bay area or is that just wishful thinking? if its just sf then that's a definite game changer for me.

Interesting...I actually live between Austin and San Marcos...but spend much of my time in Austin...work etc. I thought San Antonio was a done deal already....but the big surprise for me is San Marcos. Not exactly a large town....but a college town none the less. So....it might be super popular there with good marketing to the students. Depending on the range...which is a pretty dry subject....I might get a signal at my home...something I hadn't planned on having....so if it's a 20 mile range I will have WiMax at home. Thank you for the information!

PS...don't get fired...if there truly is a danger you might want to stop while your ahead. No one would want to see this happen!

Check out this link posted awhile back it shows the towers in TEXAS. TowerCo

Buda?

 

[LatinP]

This is the one I really want to know about since it's right smack in the middle between Manhattan and New Jersey but I'm not sure if it's working on 4G yet.
