Is performance wise the same as 15x15? Is performance wise the same as 15x15?

Sprint has 15x15 b25 at midway airport and 3xCA b41. Downloaded 2 netflix episodes in less than 10 mins. Very impressed!!

Amen

Softbank bought forttress.

Not sure if its related, buy network acted up all day yesterday across the midwest. Things are back to normal now.

Midwest network is acting up...it's all normal now.

Charter has more than just fiber. Think bundled services, great tool for retention. Think convergence...wire and wireless together, providing seamless multiple wireless services from one source.

From the speed posts, i dont see any evidence of neglect. Also, the area just got 10x10.

Neglecting the area??

If you have unlimited freedom, I think (I could be wrong) it's better than open world for canada and mexico since you can use unlimited LTE. As for other latin countries, I think you have to buy the speed pass, which is still reasonably low.

Sprint is paying only up to 650 per line. So noone will be reimbursed for 650+. Most people no longer have ETF fees since 2 year contracts are one. Those who do would not owe anywhere to $350 max ETF fee. For those who have installment plans (which I say is the majority phone uses now, the max they can claim is whatever the cost of their phones up to $650 a line. Unless you know the breakdown of the phones people are trading in to Sprint, you can GUESS all you want. The trade in phones could be a majority of higher end Iphones or Samsung phones. Sprint could end up paying 400+, 500+, or 600+ for these phones. Sprint can resell these phones, but the cost to refurbish and resell must also be included. These phones can fetch 100, 200, or 300 dollars a phone as used, but the cost sprint has put in could easily be another 50 per phone from time of trade in to take resell. You also have to add in the costs of marketing to get these customers. The longer they have the phone the more the phones depreciate, this is another cost. I would guess it could easily be 400 on average per user for Sprint to acquire these new customers. Again, with ARPU is around $40 per user. That's why I think it makes sense for Sprint to choose the 1 year free service route for those who willing to do BYOD. This also frees up some near term financing obligation for Sprint (pay upfront cost for lease or installment phones, cost to refurbish and resell used phones, marketing costs, etc.). The idea that Sprint gained some "free" loading customers has near sighted reasoning.

I would not say this is 100% accurate.

When you say most people, you mean how many? Any numbers to back it up? Why do you think it's $200 or probably far less? Also, the free year promotion was not marketed with any channels, so the marketing cost is minimal to none.

And must also know, they are not paying up to $650 per line that comes in, with an average of $42 ARPU on Sprint's postpaid, that's the same as having new customers paying for one year of service or more. Tmo is paying how much to pay off them phones to switch over?? It's not accounting magic, but simple math without using any calculator tricks.

Revenue growth will be there! Equipment revenue will be there for sure. Service revenue will be tricky to predict, but with postpaid stable and prepaid is back, I am venture to say service revenue will be back as well. The question is how Sprint fairs in this competitive market, more than 100k postpaid adds and 400k prepaid adds is be a good quarter in my book. Remember Tmo give out free lines too with their promotions.

this is as wild as chasing goose in cyberspace. Your cap is on too tight.

I know there's a back button on Iphone screen. I was thinking he didn't like Iphone because there's not a "physical" back button. The only reason I didn't like apple products in the past because they are overpriced. Now Android products cost the same price, it's time for me to go to Iphone.

lol. so, in other words, the back button is not really a concern for you. I have 2 lines on IOS already and they seem to love it more than Android. The back button never seemed to be an issue for anyone in my family that uses IOS.

I am actually thinking of converting to Iphone. Starting one line at a time. It's much easier to use and more intuitive.

GS7 is fine.

They had come out with their 5G plan a while back with multiple phases to roll out 600mhz by 2020. This is nothing new. The roll out is limited to parts of the country and not nationwide.

Do you have 8t8r towers in the area?

The stock has been down the past 2 weeks, Marcelo speaking in Miami has no impact on today's stock performance as evident with the 1% increase, trading volume is under average level. Not to mention Tmo stock is down today, not up! Just because any time there's a "news" article about a merger, does not mean it's news. Masa has been talking about this even before Marcelo ran Sprint, and Marcelo is not calling any M&A shots. It's not a process when it's been in the "news" since 2013/14, it's speculating. Like I said, until there is a news release from Sprint or Tmobile outlining any M&A for the two companies, we are beating a dead horse. At this point, Trump has better chance of getting impeached than a Sprint and Tmobile merger.

CEO?? the Chairman has been discussing since he bought Sprint. Unless any official news about the merger is out, nothing to further discuss. Stop beating a dead horse.
