What does HIPDQ++ stand for?   HI Performance Data Quality Plus Plus?

Yes, unfortunately. I had to jump to the dark side for a couple years until data speeds were fixed. St. Cloud was not Sprint's model market.

Makes sense man, I've been satisfied so far with the speeds and coverage. (13 years as a customer now).

 

I recently took a road trip with the girlfriend to PA for wine tasting and fresh fruit picking, and was impressed with the coverage. We were able to stream Pandora on her iPhone for the entire trip from NY.

Things like this are why us IT majors in my Marketing classes didn't have a good time. Marketing is all about fluff and appearance. IT is all about cold hard numbers and performance.

 

LOL...I loved my marketing classes in college, walked away a double major, IT and Management (Marketing concentration). I learned how to market the cold hard numbers in a very perceptive way.

 

One of my senior projects in a marketing class involved me creating a cell phone, and marketing it. Including use-case studies, customer feedback, etc. It was mockup and theory, but still ;)

Does anybody know when the expected date of all of the network vision to be 100% completed?

I believe by end of 2013-into 2014? I think that's what I read from the announcements.

Yeah, I had 11 years with Sprint, but my phone had pretty much the same connection as my wi-fi only tablet around town, so I had to fix that. My commute was fine, but I roamed on Verizon most of the time at work and St. Cloud was completely overloaded.

Makes perfect sense, why use something that doesn't work?

 

Hopefully once NV is complete, you look at us (Sprint) again.

Do you like Verizon? In your honest opinion?

 

Ha! I like their coverage and data speeds. I work in BFE (north of little falls MN) and live in St. Cloud MN and have LTE all day except for about 10 miles of my commute. I have good in building coverage at work. That is where the "like" ends. Their store employees are a bunch of idiotic a-holes, they don't care one bit about inconveniencing you. They have an attitude that they are the best and you have the privilege to use their network, not that they have the privilege to serve you as a customer. I nearly canceled my service at first, but it made no sense to go with any other carrier. Plus, it runs me about 20 more per month for 3 smartphones with 4gb per month per line than with sprint. I might pay the etf when nv comes through.

That sounds about right with what I'm hearing here. Thanks for the honest opinion.

Des anybody know if downtown Chicago has sprint lte yet.

 

-technoman888

 

It's kinda off topic but no, it does not. NV is working from out to in in the Chicago market, so downtown will be last. Give it another 2-3 months.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
