internet speeds
We're about .3 miles from our serving site at lat/long 38.921950 -91.067779 and our speeds drop drastically after 6 PM sometimes losing connectivity when people get home. Charter has started providing service in the area and we're considering taking it, we'd rather stay with TMO due to the lower price and being retired. I called the help desk to tell them fiber was available right in front of the site but it turned into ticket and going through all the steps of troubleshooting when all I was trying to do was along some info. Hopefully this will get to someone who can see about converting this site from a legacy Sprint microwave site to fiber.131Visto0likes3ComentariosRe: Horrendous Download vs. Awesome Upload Speeds
A little update. Sunday and today (Monday) up downloads are around 10 MB which is where they've been but the uploads are still smoking around 50 MB. With today being a holiday it could be less traffic on the site, not sure if that is so since the area I live in is more a bedroom community so I'll keep an eye on it and make another post. Thanks to all who posted with info.11Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Horrendous Download vs. Awesome Upload Speeds

How would I check the WiFi stats? We're just using the TMO trash can for in-house WiFi and we don't do any internal transfers. We just use email and web searches and watch videos, we'd like to do some streaming but we've never had the download speed to do it reliably. Thanks for you help.28Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Horrendous Download vs. Awesome Upload Speeds
Thanks for getting back with me. Here's what I've got: Primary Signal PCI 480 Band B66 EARFCN 66811 Secondary Signal PCI 873 Band n71 NR-ARFCN 125290 Internet Connection Primary Signal - Is 2 Bars (which it always has been) Connected RSRP -103 dBm SNR 14 dB RSRQ -10 dB RSSI -77 dBm Secondary Signal - Is 4 Bars (it was only 1 bar or not there before) Connected RSRP -82 dBm SNR 16 dB RSRQ -11 dB Is this what you're asking for?21Visto0likes0ComentariosHorrendous Download vs. Awesome Upload Speeds
It's really strange with out Internet service as of late. Using Ookla I've been finding our downloads have been 2 MB at the best while our uploads 50 MB or better. Normally it's been 7 or so MB down and 2 MB or so on the up. I've done the reboot on the trashcan and a full shutdown restart with no changes. I called TMO's customer service and the tech probed the gateway and then had me do a full shutdown/restart with no changes. This is the only thing going where we live besides satellite or dialup, we had DSL but the speed was 1.5 down at the best and now the port we had has been given to another customer The neighbors are interested in TMO but I keep telling them to hold off until the convert an old Sprint tower near us but with these slow speeds it's going to be a long wait.2.3KViews0likes21Comentarios- 11Visto0likes0Comentarios
Coverage Regressing
We got TMO because they had the best coverage at our home and were told the local Sprint tower which is less than a 1/8 mile away would be converted to 5G so we got the home internet as well. Recently our normal 5 bar coverage has dropped to 1 or 2 bars. The internet has been 2 bars but were expecting awesome when they converted the tower, but now I'm wondering IF they will or just decommission it. I contacted Customer Care and while they were nice folks the answer I got is coverage is what to be expected. How can this be? It's like that site has been turned off! The site is 38.921956517815566, -91.06778833655758 https://www.google.com/maps/@38.922017,-91.0686466,417m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en. TMO you could sell a lot wireless and your internet if you converted this site, our only option is 1.5 MB DSL or satellite and all our neighbors are sick of it. We have Boeing, Federal, and investment employees that would sign up in a heartbeat.105Visto0likes2Comentarios
