AT&T 4G HSPA+/LTE Speedtests!

It's feast or famine here in SoCal. one cell site, its +110Mbps/25Mbps, the next its 4Mbps/0.5Mbps

Would be cool to compare Verizon coverage in that rural area where att is 5mhz

That would be interesting to see. I'm more curious who has the denser network. I know B13 would be faster than 5mhz B17. But back in 2010 AT&T merged two networks together in the SW Michigan and northern IN area that was supposed to have given them a pretty good density. It's still not very dense, at least along the rural areas, though I don't really have coverage issues unless I'm at the beach (sand dunes blocking signal) or way way off the beaten path.

B17 in New Buffalo Michigan. The downlink is plenty usable but the UL was what killed it, I had to drop to HSPA to get this screenshot uploaded quickly:

Most definitely. I remember you saying Verizon has more density in the suburbs where you are.

Some 5 MHz B17 action on the outskirts of Michigan City, IN. Kind of in the middle of nowhere:





It's slow but I'll still take that over slow HSPA or EVDO.

10 MHz band 2 indoors in Bridgman, MI:

Bridgman huh? Were you inside Sherman's ice cream??

[Shizam76]

Bourbonnais IL. Near Bears training camp. They aren't even here yet, so curious to see what speeds are when everyone is here.

I think Sherman's is south haven. I kept looking on the map and it kept taking me to South Haven. I was at a little diner in Bridgman that had excellent blueberry pie.

Must have been Lydia's or Olympus. The tower is right down the road from there, right at the Bridgman exit on I-94. Several carriers are on the same tower. It's a ~240ft self-supported tower with AT&T near the top.

You got it, Lydia's. They have a very good Bison burger. I'm usually too busy looking around to notice the tower but I think I've seen it before. I know the main focus of coverage in that area is on the interstate and not really the small towns or rt. 12. T-Mobile is even worse about that, got off in Sawyer and a friend with T-Mo pretty much lost service within a mile of leaving the interstate.

There's a tiny shermans in Bridgman. Bigger one is in South Haven

Oh ok. The one in Bridgman didn't show up in a search. For ice cream I ended up at Oink's in New Buffalo.

Some B29 action for those interested. Superior, WI

Awesome. Good to see they are adding 29 even where it's only 5mhz. The network must really do well where you are. You have loads of spectrum.

Wow that's cool! If they're deploying it up there that might mean they are in Chicago too. I haven't spotted anything aside from 2,4,17 though. I know B30 is going up everywhere but my phone can't access it, but it can access B29.

Yeah this is depressing. Makes me want to drop this note 4 in a toilet.
