Hey Fellas,
Just wanted to get some real world, local area feedback from you and your iphones performance.
I have an iPhone 4 on AT&T. I've been longing to leave them as I was/am unhappy with the coverage and how I find it works crappy within buildings.
I have noticed recently that things have gotten better. For example, last year I couldn't reliably stream my slingbox on the phone inside the bowling alley in slidell. Now it works fine and speed tests there show I'm getting a solid 1 meg or more down.
I've also noticed recently how on my sprint 3g/4g u301 cell internet card, has gone from decent performance to complete and total CRAP. The 4g (wiimax) works ok in New Orleans where it's available, but it's not in Slidell and the 3g everywhere practically doesn't work around here. It has in the past, but I guess since around the time of the 4s release, I can barely get it to work.
Of course I've read about how bad Sprint's data speed has gotten/is on iphone, but wanted to hear from some of you.
My biggest gripe through the years is when I leave for vacation, it never works decently. We go to Disney annually, and sometimes throw in a 2nd trip during the year to universal. This summer we went to destin. The AT&T data speeds in all these locations are HORRIBLE, but my little sprint card works great. After these experiences, I was anxious to jump back to sprint (who I was a long time sub of until the iphone came out), but now I'm not sure what to do. I usually have connect my iphone via wifi to the sprint card using a usb hot spot device to share it's connection to watch my slingbox, which is crazy.
I guess i'll stay with AT&T and then see what the iphone 5 has to offer as far as LTE and maybe go to Verizon who has the best coverage.
My goal is to have good coverage, with good, consistent data speeds to stream my slingbox anywhere.
Anyways, that's all of my thinking on it, so please, iphone users, mainly on sprint and verizon, give me your thoughts and recommendations.
Especially if you use the slingplayer on it. Thanks!
