Hi everyone, I found this community while searching for information on the LTE upgrades in Ohio.  I am currently in the Cincinnati market, I live on the west side of town (Westwood/Cheviot area) and work in the downtown/Covington area.  I am originally from the Cleveland/NE Ohio market (Lorain) and spend time there in weekend and week long chunks.  I've been doing some snooping on the site and see that some of towers in the city have gone through upgrades, but it doesn't look like anything has been done in my areas.

 

I am trying to stay informed on network upgrades to make the best decision on my next device.  I have 5 lines on my Sprint account, 2 have been eligible for upgrade since April, but the other 3 are locked in for another year.  Just trying to weigh my options on whether upgrade and stay with Sprint or just pay the ETF and take them all to another network.

 

Hope to be a contributor to the forums, everyone here seems to be great at spreading knowledge and information.

Welcome s4gru! I am glad to see your sponsor, not that we dont mind non sponsors. It just helps, when u have access to a lot more information. Honestly on the upgrades, I will just make sure to wait for tri-band phone. Otherwise enjoy the site,  u got questions?? The easiest way is to just go into that forum and ask it. Everyone is pretty nice around here, and happy to help out as much as they can.

if you can hold off i would most def wait for triband phones since cincinnati is part of phase 1 of the TD-LTE build out so you can take advantage of that super fast speed and in building coverage can't wait till we start seeing solid progress (more info is in the premier sponser forum) i'll be upgrading this friday

Yeah I saw the post about Cincinnati being in the phase 1 roll out.  It just sucks because I have been holding out for the Note 3 since April, and now I am going to have to go another direction with my device.  I guess the wait will continue...

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
