All hail our new Japanese overlords of unlimited data!

 

But if you violate the unlimited data Ts and Cs in your contract by tethering, running continuous speed tests, etc., you must now commit yubitsume -- the cutting off of your own little finger -- to atone for your dishonor.

You will get banned by Sprint wouldn't you by tethering?

 

I think a little tethering is fine but if you tether 24/7 and watch videos using the tethering function, frankly, what that hell.

Hey guys,

 

Anything new?

 

There's a small update of upgraded sites posted to the maps. But no new LTE sites accepted this past week.

Just saw some of my posts regarding "Boosted's comments" got deleted. Just what that hell, that guy must be related to Sprint or something.

 

It is sad the comment that he made without using his brain is still there.

We do not treat Sprint employees any different than anyone else. So that is not really material to the conversation.

Just use your brain: there is no negativity and besides a sprint employee defending sprint!!! There is no issues with that. Hope that your boss will pay you a little more for doing so.

Got you!! A Sprint Employeee. No wonder.

 

You didn't get me. I don't know if he is a Sprint employee or not. I wasn't saying that. And I doubt that he is. He spends a lot of his time in Shentel areas, not likely for a Sprint employee.

 

My point is that we don't treat known or perceived Sprint employees any differently. However, your aggressive and argumentative style is really starting to bother me. Your communication style is not very productive in a community like S4GRU. You either need to adapt, or find a new place to hang out.

Not sure where you are getting the idea that I am aggressive and all. Seems like whenever someone has a problem you would simply say this or telling them to leave the site because it is your site.

 

I have been reading a few of your own posts to S4GRU members, seems like you are a little more aggressive than I am.

Well, you have been warned. Continue the path you have in the past, you will be heading toward the end of your S4GRU membership and be banned.

 

I would suggest you discuss the network and avoid discussing other members. You're off topic and being personal. It won't be tolerated.

As frustrating as the wait for LTE is, there is one positive from Sprint, they seem to be the best carrier with updates. At least with the GSIII, they have been well ahead of the curve.

 

Sorry to get a little off topic, with all the Sprint bashing that occurs in this thread, from myself even, it's nice to acknowledge the positive sometimes.

So, I was in manhattan on Wednesday, in an area that clearly showed up as LTE on Sensorly, and no matter what I did, I could not get my iPhone to switch to LTE! I tried at various times during the day, all over midtown, but nothing.

 

I powered the phone on and off, toggled airplane mode, toggled cellular data, toggled LTE...

 

Am I missing something? Now I'm wondering if the tower outside my office (which shows up on the s4gru maps as having had LTE enabled) is actually enabled and it's me. Should I be trying something else?

 

Any suggestions from the gallery? Thanks!

Which tower you connect to is a complicated affair (I'm sure Robert will chime in on this topic)...but are you sure your phone has LTE enabled? I see you're on an iPhone 5...go to "Settings" -> "General" -> "Cellular" and make sure that "Enable LTE" is toggled to "ON".

      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....
