I don't know if it's my phone (SGS3) or if the NV updates are coming into play slightly, but in the evenings my ping is 1000+ and I'm not even touching 0.2 Mbs down. A few weeks ago it was pretty good and nothing to complain about (can't recall the numbers). Anyone else in the area notice this too?

The first Lafayette sites are not scheduled to start work until the end of August. However, maybe they are starting early?

I hope, I don't think it's my phone cuz my old OG EVO was doing the same thing. I'll cross my fingers and think the good thoughts. I'm not against things starting early :-D

Highland is in the Chicago market, where as Lafayette is in the Indy market.

I love how every time a site has issues its assumed to be a NV upgrade instead of a network issue. This is going to do wonders for the perception of Sprints network health!

Must be a NV upgrade, Congratulations! If you drive to the tower fast you might catch the van.

Nex-tech is working on it. Ive already chatted with them a little. That data issue is happening to all the phones on my account.

I believe the Indianapolis market was having major hick-ups this morning. I drove from Lafayette to Indianapolis around 4 am this morning and had no data until I was on the SW side of Indy, around an hour drive and over 60 miles (I was trying to use Waze and it kept saying searching for network, I then verified it was Sprint (and not Waze servers) by trying to load a webpage).

 

I am not getting super hopeful that we were getting upgraded, but I hope I am wrong.

Had drastic improvements today (1.2 down with a -95 dBm signal, one bar), I actually stopped and talked with the Sprint people and they said they are tinkering with the towers in the area.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
