Full LTE at Yankees stadium but slow service

[Closingracer]

Official sponsor is AT&T so I wonder do they slow everybody else on purpose lol

 

[Bigballer]

they're probably working on the tower or it might be overwhelmed. You consider that slow service? On sprint I used to have full bars but barely get 1 mbps down.

It's been like that since March when I started in t-mobile

I'd assume at a packed stadium that isn't unheard of.

Honestly you hate T-Mobile so much I don't know why you just don't go back to AT&T. It's one thing to talk about experience but you seem to just bash at every turn so why not go with what makes you happy? You do have a choice . I left every other carrier I wasn't happy with.. Why stay?

The stadium isn't packed and while I dislike the service it is cheaper then AT&T and has unlimited data...

Even if the stadium is half full you have far more people in the area than a cell can support. When the Eagles are playing neither AT&T nor T-Mobile can typically even load webpages reliably.

Ah well.. Sounds like you're having to sacrifice speed for price... T-Mobile in my area with 5 bars is a little different...

Here is me on the way to work this morning .

I average around 20 with T-Mobile outside my house which is good enough for me. This is only happening in Yankees Stadium really so not a huge deal. Just wondering why I was getting 1Mbps

Ah okay. Yeah in stadiums it isn't uncommon for most carriers mobile data to go to very bad speeds .. the towers just weren't meant to handle that kind of traffic.. that's why stadiums are getting wifi up and running. I know when we have a football game and I go to the stadium friends and I are not able to really use mobile data much and I have friends on all carriers (most are on AT&T or Verizon .. few Sprint .. few T-Mobile).

I go to Yankee's games a decent amount every year and never had this issue with AT&T. Averaged around 25-30 Mbps there

Have you thought about contacting tmobile about this? I contacted them about a down tower by my house. Response was favorable and was fixed the next day. Tmobile didn't even know the tower was down.

T-Mobile just isn't as good in the area then ... Not sure what else to tell you. You can't really switch to a brand new carrier but expect the same exact coverage and speeds you had with the previous one ... Especially when you're going from the #2 carrier to the #4 carrier...

I wouldn't say complaining about 2.78 mbps down and 7 mbps up would justify that the network is "bad." In need of improvements? Sure, but definitely not in the bad side especially considering that latency.

Well comparing it to his old carrier of 25-30 in the same area it can be considered as bad. Sprint in my area gets around 5 Mbps average and I count that as bad. Most HD stuff I do won't survive on it ..

It is bad when I averaged 25-30 on AT&T. Also while These numbers say I have service Last night there was times when Facebook simply wouldn't load anything. These are annoying but not Deal breakers imo. T-mobile for the most part works great except in my house and Yankee's stadium so i can deal with that. Going to Philly next month so i will see a difference

The area does not have enough capacity to support the number of people trying to hit up the towers, a potential problem for any carrier where large numbers of people overwhelm the capacity.

This is why for special events like the CES in Vegas, temporary towers have at times had to be rolled out. Or why service was once abysmally slow at Disneyland (on all the carriers). Now the only one it's still a problem there is Sprint. Which is why I left them.

They have bigger problems than just solely capacity problems. I was one of the first people who had a Sprint LTE device (Galaxy nexus) and the network speeds were still dysmal. In fact, even worse than Wimax.
