My mom works at Hyatt Regency (20+ years ) and your wife is speaking the truth. If you can sit on a counter or lean against something that supports you then someone has screwed another person on it. All hotels / motel housekeepers have a set quota of rooms to clean (40-50 or more depending on season) and are given a certain time limit (5 -10 mins or quicker).
Does it look clean? No. Replace. Yes?.it's staying.
Can you see it? Nope. Next room. Yes, make it not be seen.
But yes. Bodily fluids EVERYWHEREEEE. I highly recommend you to not use a UV light anywhere in the vicinity of a hotel room...
You don't want to know what happened on my Vegas hotel room bench then...

any chance anybody knows if sprint matches these online deals? I need to upgrade a line and switch the upgraded phone to a different line.
I am almost positive that Sprint will not price match.

Ah, telecheck... I remember having a check declined by those jerks and calling them up and chewing on some poor csr when I was younger.
Nothing like feeling like a total deadbeat when your check is declined...

no mobile network operators have incorporated VOLTE(Voice Over Long Term Evolution) quite yet, but it is in the works.
MetroPCS has offered VoLTE since August 2012. http://phandroid.com/2012/08/07/metropcs-is-now-the-first-carrier-in-the-us-to-offer-voice-over-lte-with-lg-connect-4g/

Then until Beg Red gets its AWS up and devices to support it, they need to increase tower density.
Yep, they pushed so hard to get everyone converted to lte devices, and now they are feeling the pain of not completing a network vision type overhaul.

The iPhone 5 is the only one I know of.Do any Verizon phones support LTE in 850Mhz or PCS? They could deploy a carrier there
-
Whats the background song? Makes the video seems a bit ominous to me but I can hardly believe that is happening with a strong LTE signal. Verizon needs more carriers and it needs them now.
They can't add carriers. They only have 10x10 mhz in the upper 700 they use for lte. The best they can do is add more sites and adjust downtilt of the existing sites to split the cells.

One of my friends recently switched from t-mobile to Verizon, and the salesperson at the Verizon reseller store was very condescending to him when he asked to see the iphones. He told him that the iPhone was garbage and tried to sell him the droid razr. My buddy's reaction was to leave, go to the corporate verizon store, and buy his iphones. The guy lost a sale because of his hatred for iphones.
For the record, I also told him that he was an idiot for not getting the galaxy nexus, but I wasn't in line for a commission.

Anyone up for some lutefisk? J/k but we do have some left over lefse, krumkaka, rosettes. Also, it looks like it will be 0 degrees when we wake up for Xmas in the cities tomorrow!
Yes! To everything! I'll even take the 0 temp if it keeps the idiots out of here.

I wasn't bragging as I was makin a point. As how lil data tethering actually use for a power user compared to how much cellular data I use lol. But I do respect the t&c lol

Your "point" violates the rules of this forum, so unless you want a formal reprimand, I suggest you stop discussion on the subject.

I was wanting to buy an AKM (I'm cheap) but with the debates going on they're probably in short supply.

Indeed.

If they are widening it, wouldn't that mean less coverage or it means the signal is stretched? I see it takes less time to set up if its not as many sites. But even if I were to get 3mbps consistently I think I'd rather have that then pay per gb even if its overloaded. I hope it's not like me metropcs Lte. They have a 1x1 spectrum and in NYC speeds are at 1mbps. Just pathetic
Yes, the wider cell sizes encompass more subscribers and provides lower signal strength at cell edge or in structures on the outer half of the cell, resulting in lower speeds. Rollout is much faster when you deploy that way, but if the carrier wants to maintain QOS and higher speeds as more customers upgrade to LTE devices, they would need to split the cells and thicken their coverage. The higher factor of propagation that the 700mhz spectrum has can be a negative factor if they try to thicken coverage too much though. They will encounter a lot of interference near the cell edges, much like when you start receiving 2 radio stations on the same frequency. Neither one works very well, even if one signal would be strong enough to work well, the interference causes the radio to pick up both stations and get all jumbled up giving useless playback.

Discussion of unauthorized tethering is prohibited.
I can respect the honesty, but please refrain from discussion of illegal activities, immoral activities or violations of the T&C's.

I guess one of the reasons Verizon Lte is so fast is because no one will hog the speed when u have tired data. How many Lte blocks are they per ave block or does It not work like that?
Not sure what you're asking.
Verizon has twice the spectrum that they are utilizing for their initial rollout of lte. However, in most cases, they are deploying widely spaced sites instead of on every cell site, as sprint is deploying. Verizon, and AT&T have employed the tiered pricing strategy to incentivize data offloading, and it appears to be very effective for them.

In other words if let's say 100 people do speed tests all at the same time, our speeds with be like a 56k modem?
Each person would have a theoretical max of 370kbps, but would likely see much less than that. So, depending on the signal strength, yes, each speed test could easily look like a 56k modem's speeds.

That map is now out of date, since CenturyLink acquired Qwest.
My hope is that is going to get a lot of their backhaul in the Vegas area from CenturyLink.
For the discussion, the only fiber network that was relevant was the network spun off by Sprint as Embarq.

ok folks...actually the information i base my thoughts about sprintlink isn't hard to find and you don't need insider access. The same goes for vz and att backbone as well. If you folks want to mock me(along with the site admin) go for it..you just make yourselves look uneducated. This isn't positive thinking but thoughts from years of reading and research. No insider access is needed. I know i don't know any legalities involved on the backend...otherwise do some research instead of mocking somebody who already has.
We know about Sprintlink and debated the usefulness of it as backhaul for NV sites in this thread http://s4gru.com/ind...c/347-backhaul/ in fact, I personally posted a map of Sprintlink's connected cities here http://s4gru.com/ind..._6624#entry6624
Sprintlink is a Tier 1 global backbone, and while it is present in many of the major US cities, it is not intended as a "metro loop" it is intended for the local ISP to connect to, and distribute the connection across the ISP's infrastructure, or "metro loop." Sprint spun off the fiber infrastructure that could have connected their cell sites to Sprintlink as Embarq, which later became CenturyLink, but even if they still owned those fiber runs, it wouldn't be able to be used for all their sites anyway. (see this map http://s4gru.com/ind..._5292#entry5292 for reference)
The reason I mocked you, was because your post was insinuating that Sprint was somehow unaware that they had Sprintlink and was wasting their money buying backhaul from other sources when they had their own fiber right there, when in all actuality, they would have to invest billions of dollars and years of installing fiber to accomplish what you were suggesting, not to mention reentering the ILEC game to recoup the billions they would have to invest.

Who is Birch Telecom and where did they come from? I have never heard anything about them until today.
I would say that they are a local telephone and internet provider that is also a MVNO of Sprint offering mobile internet on a USB stick.

Sprintlink is in every major city.. I understand about the more rural locaiton like my neck of the woods..and yes i don't know about the backend legalese...but there's got to be a better way..
I vote for you to be the next sprint VP of network expansion. You obviously know how to run fiber to towers way better than the current people making 6 figures to plan and execute network vision.
Maybe the power of positive thoughts will run fiber from Sprint's backbone to the cell sites. Positive thoughts are cheap.
-
Nope. Both accounts are empty. Haven't started storing stuff on them yet.
So what is the use of having 100gb when you use zero?

In UP Michigan, they are waiting until winter to install the NV equipment. Then they can just walk up to the towers on snowshoes and replace the equipment without climbing the tower. The base equipment will require a technodrome from TMNT

I called twice and asked for my MSL. I don't know if I have terrible luck, or if it really isn't as simple as people make it out to be.
It is much more simple for me to use CDMA Workshop
