I will have to bring along my bag of unactivated LTE devices the next time I go to a LTE market. Interesting.

Just because I buy something does not mean I can afford it. There is a huge difference. ;)

I assume you watched the video if you are reading this post; If u noticed the network connection error on the s3 in the video i was wondering if anybody could explain what that might be.

 

I have been getting it on my Evo LTE that IS activated. Recently the tower near my house received its backhaul (2+ mbps 3G speeds) and then starting yesterday i have full signal and get the network error. As well i get an error when i try to update prl and data profile.

 

I am curious if anybody could explain what might cause this.

The network connection error in the video happened across all the devices. This was caused by the selected speedtest server being down.

Did you watch the whole video? I would assume no since the video showed that the issue was on the server end, he switched to a different server and all was well across all three devices.

      These creditors are going to get screwed one way or another. I see no exit for them that will be painless. Rule # 1 - Never get in bed with Charlie.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Trip · Posted

      I don't disagree entirely but a lot of the really rural coverage (like where I grew up) still has little or no competition.  There is a lot of overlap but there are also a number of unique sites that will help things. But also, the fact is that a lot of the rural T-Mobile coverage is still "map filler" coverage that doesn't actually provide reliable service.  This will help. https://imgur.com/a/LRWF3FO Using where I grew up as an example, magenta is T-Mobile, blue is US Cellular, and gold are unique sites Shentel planned but didn't get a chance to construct before the buyout derailed things. EDIT: And even a number of the T-Mobile sites shown here are Shentel conversions.  The only reason for the site NW of Keysville is that Shentel built that one before the buyout pause.  The site southwest of Meherrin wasn't a Shentel conversion, although Shentel did plan to build there, but rather was added to fill a gap along US-360 when the Shentel conversions were taking place.  Three of the five sites in Farmville proper are Shentel conversions also, as is the one north of town just barely on the map. - Trip
