Nice. All of those stops should be LTE but it takes longer at some stops than others for the phone to pick it up.

At 7 Ave and 59th street on the D train my phone jumps right on LTE. At Rockefeller Center I get 4G then it takes up to 3-5 minutes for my phone to switch to LTE. Very strange.

Makes me want to put on my LTE. Anyone have the speeds of lte and 4g both up and down?

That thread is not NYC only. I just wanted a few numbers of both lte and of lte. I follow that thread and usually people only post 4g, since lte is out all over NYC.

In a nutshell trying to see the speex difference for someone local of lte and non lte.

LTE has not launched yet in NYC. It launches in June. There are a few test location and subway stations that have T-Mobile LTE.

On the subway my LTE speed tests are 16Mbps down and 6Mbps up. I think the subway stations are speed capped.
 
I was down in the subway at Rockefeller Center and picked up LTE. I exited the train and walked to 7th avenue maintaining LTE. I got faster speeds outside of the subway station.

The tower kicked me off after a few minutes but I was connected to a tower, not to the subway station.

I changed my data APN to epc.tmobile.com and set the LTE APN to fast.t-mobile.com. I tried accessing data on LTE in the subway and the data did not work. I had to reset it back to the default fast.t-mobile.com APN to get it to work.

Any idea why?
 
I got LTE data working by setting them all the same. To epc.tmobile.com.

What kinds of speeds are people getting underground? They haven't deployed LTE.underground in Boston yet.


Is the DAS throttling speeds?

Looking at the sensorly maps, wouldn't surprise me if TMo has more LTE up than Sprint by the end of summer in NYC.

LTE in the subway is not being done by T-Mobile so it doesn't have anything to do with the LTE launching in NYC.

The subways are capped around 15-16Mbps down and 5-6Mbps up.
