LTE Atlanta coverage

Can anyone that is using the LTE in Atlanta tell me roughly how far the signal stretches out of the city? Just wondering if it actually reaches out to any of the metro area.
Thanks

Just wanted to follow up on my question in case anyone else was wondering the same thing. A co-worker of mine got the Samsung Skyrocket today and can get a LTE signal in Norcross, Ga just fine. It is roughly 20-25 miles north of the city. He was getting 25+ Mbps down and 10-15 up.

It's on the AT&T website, but draw a line from Kennesaw to Cumming to Rest Haven for the north.
Union City to Panthersville down south...
East and West is not much further out than the loop.

Cool, thanks. I couldn't find it on there. Guess I didn't look hard enough.

T-mobile USA LTE San Jose, CA

It seems the other cities have a thread but SJ doesn't quite yet. Anyone have any luck yet? using the sensorly app it seems like all the towers are around high way 280 shucks it woulda been nice to get some LTE coverage at SJSU. I guess we can use this thread to report any updates anyone else notices

This is a block off from SJSU campus. Which hopefully means that the buildings around the edge of campus can get some LTE goodness
Although the majority of the towers are located around freeway 280 so until they roll out more towers its gonna be pretty empty although I did manage to snag this gem while driving

That one looks like a WiFi speedtest

LTE Working in Milpitas & Mountain View (Moffett Field) for me. Have not tried anywhere else, that's just where I live/work.

Now threads are specific to cities...

LTE is very sporadic in San Jose, i can't understand how T-Mobile can claim they have launched this city. It's like they threw a tower here and there and that's it.
I drove around and you can see an LTE tower at some places but coverage is fairly poor so far.

Works in the North side of San Jose.

Well yes, because the other launch cities aren't in our state so we are discussing the roll out of LTE at this area and neighboring cities of CA

Relax, they just went live yesterday and San Jose isn't the only town they're working on. It'll only get better with time, so stop *****ing and chill out.

On Grant Rd? There was kind of a dead spot on Grant, hardly any signal, but on North St. by the hospital, had full bars. Also strong signal by Starbucks on Cuesta.

I have LTE at home and work in north SJ (Montague and Zanker)

Please continue all future LTE discussions HERE.

Hey everyone, love the phone first of all. My problem? Sprint. I used to have sprint, but ended up going to tmobile with the nexus 4. When I decided to get HTC one, it was either pray for online store to have one available and pay $99 + $90 a month, or get one at a local sprint store and pay $50 for service (sero). Ended up transferring to sprint.
Right now, I'm in dc, and I really have pretty deeply data speeds, even on lte it gets maybe 3mbps... Granted, I know that dc market isn't live yet, but still. At the gym I go to, if I'm on lte it works good, but even with full bars it decides to drop down to 3g often, Shi h results in me not even being able to stream a thing... Never those issues on T-Mobile, reason I wanted new phone was to odd issues on nexus 4 and I wasn't sure if it was phone related, or network. A lot of people seemed to have similar problems on nexus though. It'd end up dropping all service, or just poor reception in general. I've heard that tmo variant of the HTC had much better antenna...
Now, I will be moving to Atlanta in 20 days, I know that T-Mobile is pretty good there. I know that sprint used to be terrible there, but how is it now? The lte there is supposed to be at 70% deploymenet, but I'm guessing that's just the downtown area, I'll be living in buckhead. Anybody out in that area that could comment on speeds?
Financially, makes more sense to stick to sprint. $99 for phone + $50 a month vs $99 phone + $90 a month.

If you want information on where you can find LTE, check www.sensorly.com or get their app from the Google Play Store. That's going to tell you where the LTE is where you're going.

If you're so concerned, go to Atlanta and test it. You can also check the thread in this particular forum where users are posting screenshots of their speedtests as well as general locations.

My friend had an Evo and moved to Atlanta. Fast forward to now, he switched to Verizon lol.
ps I will gladly take your HTC One off of your hands

I will say this, I live in atlanta and I get lte everywhere including all surrounding counties and cities outside the perimeter. If you are really moving to atlanta you should definitely stay with sprint, things have improved exponentially over the last year or so. Early last year I was this close to switching to at&t and decided to give sprint one more damn year and it turned out to be a pretty good decision. Now sprint might still be garbage in other places but in atlanta its pretty damn good.

Nice! What speeds do you usually get?
Ans to the person who said just go there... I am in June, but it doesn't make sense to go now just to see how it is, and if I wait till June I will be outside of my 14 day.

For the most part I would say that I average about 15megs down with very low pings. Of course its not perfect, at times you will have those moments when you hit 30+megs and other times you will have those moments where you can barely hit 5megs but that doesn't happen very often at all.

Well a few of my friends have tmobile service and for the most part hspa+ is pretty fast as well but ping times are no where near what you can get compared to lte. There aren't many places where I would actually recommend sprint service but atlanta is definitely one of those places where I would recommend sprint.

also if you're looking to keep tabs on the LTE network for sprint, i'd recommend S4gru, its a blog as well you can follow peoples comments and check out what areas are spotting LTE. Just a warning it gets quite addictive i check like once a day for orlando lol

Haha yea, that's partially why I decided to give it a shot, the fact that s4guru listed Atlanta at such high completion. I just don't know, I like the idea of what sprint is doing, they should have very good lte coverage and good building penetration in the future. Although, sadly, a lot of what sprint said over the past few years sounded great on paper, yet, failed in reality.

Softbank Says They'll Invest $16 Billion in Sprint

I know this isnt One news but its great news for us One owners that should be shared....
With Dish out of the way, shareholders placated and regulators giving their green light to the Sprint/SoftBank/Clearwire deal, SoftBank is now promising that they'll invest heavily in their new U.S. company in order to help make Sprint more competitive with industry giants AT&T and Verizon Wireless. According to SoftBank, they're preparing to spend some $16 billion on Sprint over the next two years, with a significant chunk of that $1.6 Trillion Yen going toward LTE base stations. SoftBank President Masayoshi Son says he hopes to pull even with Verizon LTE deployment within two years. "We've found that there is considerable possibility for cutting costs," insists Son.

this sounds nice
but im kinda turned off from cdma

I just had a long conversation with a Sprint engineer earlier today regarding the build out of the LTE network. He elaborated on why we see it more in small markets first. Basically, it's so that when the inner markets are down for upgrades, the exterior towers are there to support while upgrades are put in place in the middle of big markets. If that makes sense.

Hopefully Silicon valley will get some love. A lot of the daily commute highways here barely even have 3G!

Where in the valley were you? I was over there for vacation not long ago and I enjoyed more widespread 4G coverage (well, than Virginia, admittedly, but I'm near one of Sprint's old HQs here).

They upped the bid. It's around $21 billion total now. I work for sprint. : P

South bay. San Jose. Not exactly a place someone would come for a vacation, though...
Really spotty coverage here. Like, it makes me sad knowing there are others who also use Sprint in my area.

280 and 101 in the south bay are decently covered. It's the areas away from the highways I want to see an improvement in coverage.

The $16 billion has to do with what will be invested into sprint over the next 2 years, what you are talking about is what they initially paid for sprint.

Sprint network is horrendous.

Been waiting for the 4g since 2010 and I've had enough. Time to go to T-Mobile.

thinking about doing the same thing, I'm in Queens and it sucks haha
just worried about building penetration with them, especially in NYC

Yeah I hear you. I got sold on it today at work. One of my guys has been with T-Mobile for years I did a speed test and you see the results. He did it with his Samsung note 3 and got 29 mbps download and close to the same on upload. Frigging amazing. It's faster then my Wi-Fi on comcast at home. Time to make a move. Sad thing is I've been with sprint since 2000. Gonna be weird.

I have been with Sprint over 10 years now. I don't know how much more I can take either. The network is so unstable in my area. Constant dropped calls, 3G is to the point where even at full signal I have to do toggle airplane mode for it to kinda work sometimes. 4G signal strength is a joke. Tri band is coming very soon but I'm just so so so tired of waiting.

You think your speeds are bad?
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Here are results from my newly upgraded Network Vision Tower not even a mile away from me just down the road.
Sprint 3G with "great signal".
Verizon 3G will usually run faster than 4G Sprint LTE. Even though I'm very close to the tower, it constantly cuts in and out. The speed sucks.
Thank god for Comcast. I know a lot of people hate them but I am very happy with my connection except for netflix congestion which should be fixed soon. I usually am above my rated speed even at peek times.
My tower is absolutely pathetic. They aren't all done but my tower has been borked since July of 2013. Now 3G pretty much doesn't work at all.
The only thing that is nice is I now have an HD Voice tower which does sound awesome when it works when talking to someone else with Sprint on an upgraded tower. That's if it can actually hold a call.
Dan Hesse is still promising a Super 4G network to rival the competition when he did a recent interview on Mad Money seen here.
The build out is taking way too long. I know a new network is not built overnight but it's absolutely awful. It's so bad my local news did a story on it cause so many viewers were calling in wanting them to do a story.
I'm still holding out for Tri-Band is the only hope left, but I just don't know how much more I can take.
At least your guys 3G "works" if you want to call those speeds "working"

I have the same results in maplewod, voice in my house is terrible always getting dropped. I manage to get pretty good 4g in bloomington, but I am not in bloomington that often. perhaps if sprint actually buys t-mobile that will help things along.

A lot of the towers around here are just borked. What I have been reading it's the hand off between new equipment to older legacy equipment. So eventually it should all be replaced but yea pretty much anywhere in the metro it sucks big time. Most of our towers should be getting 800 MHz & 2.5 GHz LTE in the coming months. I will be upgrading to the next HTC in tri-band flavor. We *should* see awesome speeds on the 2.5 GHz band since we were in a wimax market. We will see how the handoffs go between the 3 frequencies. I'm expecting dumped signals & dropped connection but it's suppose to be seamless.

The fastest I got out of Sprint

Here's what I'm looking at
And that's after most of the university students went home for spring break. Usually at 4 AM the speeds skyrocket though I've hit the max that our 3G supports (I probably have insomnia)

I don't have any problems for the most part in the north east. Almost always 4g (LTE) and only occasionally does it drop to 3g while driving on highways.
I can stream netflix while driving and it only occasionally has to buffer.
