    Don't forget, it's not just DragonCon, but also a massive college football weekend down there too. So I'm sure no cell provider was having much success. And whatever happened to Tapatalk automatically cutting down quotes?

    I won't lie, the 3G drops are highly annoying.
  3. bretton88
    I have the same dropping 3G issue, it didn't pop up until the 4.4.3 update. I don't swap SIM cards so that might not be the root issue. But it's definitely not hardware related. I was just fine before 4.4.3

    Could sprint open up rrpp coverage as evdo native now? It would seem to expand the native footprint nicely while waiting on the member carriers to deploy LTE.
  5. bretton88
    I'm curious, why can't sprint just try to open up the RRPP members as EVDO coverage until their LTE is ready?

    SIM based authentication will make things much easier for the consumer, IMO.

    I find it ironic Verizon gets their roaming data much quicker since Verizon allows unlimited roaming.

    I would think that buyout probably has a noncompete clause for so many years, if not permanent, so Vodafone can't just take all that cash and plow it into a competitor. That would rule out Vodafone coming back into the us market.

    I don't think T has the money for a buyout. Unlike Masa, Deutsche Telekom doesn't like pouring capital into the market. They might be able to afford a spectrum swap or a purchase of the 700A spectrum only.

    I doubt USCC would need much for upgrades. Some 8t8r panels, I don't know if their existing panels can broadcast b25. But the physical plant and backhaul is in fairly good shape in most of their markets.Also, I'm not sure why USCC's subprime subscribers would be a problem since Sprint was willing to absorb all of T, which has a ton of subprime subscribers as well.

    I have a 300k metro area that gets the dreaded iwireless, Tmo just passed the whole state to an affiliate. T-Mo wants nothing to do with this area either.

    Great, more junkware to clutter up my phone.

    I have a Verizon work phone, I used to fall back on its 3g for music streaming and basic browsing when Sprint's 3g was useless. But now Verizon's 3g has basically become useless here.

    I wonder if Verizon is significantly compressing data then.
  15. bretton88
    Sprint normally comes under or close to my phones report. Verizon however, comes in way under. Verizon often says I've used several hundred mbs less than my phone reports.

    Over here, Mediacom accidentally cut a major Fiber Backbone. So that's what's causing the issues here.

    The nexus 5 still has the 1X icon.

    USCC is certainly a prime candidate for a buyout with great synergies, but the Carlson Family has shown zero interest in a buyout.

    Apparently that's what it took for the FCC to finally invoke the C block rules, lol.

    Both you guys and Eastern Iowa, the last frontier, lol.

    Doubtful. Unless there's an easy out clause in their network agreement with Sprint. My guess is the ntelos board didn't feel like they got favorable enough financial terms in the agreement.

    I should note that 10gb is for all four lines. So 2.5gb each.

    I'm surprised Sprint hasn't approached Brookings about buying Swiftel yet. For the right price, I'm sure the city would sell.
  24. bretton88
    If the USCC deal is ever to happen, I'd imagine the C-Spire deal would be the blueprint for it instead of the RRPP.

    When I was in Wichita a couple of weeks ago, I camped on B26 and had only 3g downtown, I have a nexus 5. Wichita needs some tweaking.
