Sprint Exec Says 25 LTE Market By End of Year

If Sprint moves to tiered data plans after upgrading to LTE I will be gone along with most of there user-base.

 

No, I highly doubt that you have the research to back up the assertion that "most" Sprint subscribers would leave.

 

As for you, where would you go? If you think VZW or AT&T, I cannot help but laugh. Both carriers have the insidious motive and oligopolistic means to foist even more consumer unfriendly policies on you, and they are already doing so.

 

Thus, I would hope that you have another viable carrier in mind other than VZW or AT&T. Leaving Sprint for the Twin Bells would, long term, be cutting off your nose to spite your face.

It was an email chain I was copied on. It just said that some markets slated to begin deployment in 2013 are having some initial backhaul work starting in the 3rd Quarter of 2012.

Places where backhaul is getting put in early and before the tower equipment....is it being connected to the legacy equipment until the new equipment is in place?....

 

If it is are they splitting the backhaul feed when they install the new equipment so they can test that without shutting the legacy off?...

It may be in some places. However, I believe there is some legacy vendor equipment that is not compatible with new types of backhaul being deployed. And in first and second round markets they are not hooking up new backhaul to legacy sites. They don't hook up new backhaul until NV work is being done.

 

Also, in the reference to some initial backhaul work, it could be completely infrastructure related and not necessarily complete and terminated service in at the base station. I don't really know the entirety of the scope involved for the backhaul in question.

Okay that makes sense there. Thanks.

    • Has anyone checked Verizon n77 in areas with more than 100MHZ active? This spectrum has been fully available since August of last year.  Of course they are not typically using SA.
    • I updated my other s21 ultra factory unlocked to the latest firmware... It behaves like the S24 Ultra n38 or n41 depending on 80 or 100MHz or their nr- arfcn.
    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
