[MacinJosh]

Speedtest has finally been upgraded to 3.0, and has been totally revamped from the ground up.

Does it use any less data? That would be a major improvement.

I doubt it. It probably uses more, lol.

Can we get a version that takes 2 seconds to run and is dumbed down. Just a number is fine. KISS principle is strong in my mind.

Will definitely have to keep my old version apk backed up just like I do with Slacker. That new version is ugly with all that white background. Hard on the eyes too.

Legitimate concern for cable connections......

Probably because Josh is referring to the iOS version. I'm sure the Android version will be getting similarly refreshed at some point in the near future.

Not yet. However, if Sprint is going to maintain unlimited data in the face of profligate use/abuse, do not be surprised to see traffic shaping in the future.

I am definitely for that. I hope they do.

Unlimited is a marketing tool - marketing tools don't do well with "*" attached to them.

 

I am sure unlimited will poof once sprint is stable. They've already talked about price hikes in 2014 - margin expansion time. I am guessing at that time, they will probably shift to a similar strategy that T-Mobile has deployed - which is to offer unlimited but make other plans more economical/practical so that's where people move. Following that, they'll just drop unlimited all together saying "oh, well nobody buys this plan anyway..."

 

When that day happens, I'll have to mail you a cake.

 

I am sure people will rant saying "well I paid for 5GB, I have to USE all 5GB every month!!!!"

Doesn't Ericsson market a QoS system that does just that? Sprint would be a good candidate for that.

[ddimit]

From what I have seen of the LTE Deplyoments they are using Cisco ASR Routers on site and then can definately do QOS , Shaping Policing. just depends where in the network they plan to enforce that, Wireless side or Backhaul side

Thank goodness.  The Speedtest app on the Android version is so crappy.

Woohoo... Wish they would make the app use less data. As it is now it is a huge bandwidth hog and a waste. Glad Sprint puts this on the QOS back burner.

Anyone discover the Easter egg in the speedtest app yet? :-)
