An IKEA just recently opened in the Kansas City metro.  I saw a DAS there.  But to get coverage, you had to assemble it yourself.   AJ

What's the point of the upgrade if they don't see to be able to handle any type of traffic. Was in Wayne just now on Lancaster Ave a mile from 476 with just Ok 3g.

Might mean a few more sites went LTE since our last map update though :-)

maybe...the sprint coverage map is very interesting... I know they tend to exaggerate coverage. also I still have an EVO LTE so we all know what that means!

Sell out crowd of 10,100 at the Iron Pigs stadium in Allentown tonight. Had LTE the whole time and working great!

Sounds good.  I have to wonder how many visitors had Sprint for cell service and then how many of them even noticed the LTE.

So many people are just not capable of figuring anything out.  If they could make a call or send a text, they probably never even noticed the LTE.    They only look at the "number of bars" on the top bar and are not smart enough to dig deeper.

You should've been watching Dom Brown play. He's killing the Phils.

Woot!! Sitting in my living room and my 1x800 alert went off! Maybe I won't drop calls inside anymore!

 

Most people probably have no idea where New Tripoli is but when I was young, I fished at Leaser Lake quite often and I had friends who went to NW Lehigh HS. Glad the network is improving in your area. There's one tower which serves my parent's house in Allentown I'm waiting to get LTE. It's a new site and it's only 3G accepted so far. We'll see how long it takes. I'm spoiled living in Shentel territory.

I live about 3 miles from the lake, near the Lynnport Fire Company! Also went to NWL. We don't have cable here and Verizon DSL is coming soon so we have been living with 3G from a hotspot for two years. I figure we'll get LTE by the time our DSL is ready (currently being built out by Verizon, supposed to be done by October.)

 

The leak at Leaser Lake has been fixed and it was almost full until they discovered another one so it is currently being drawn down again. Never ending saga.

I just grabbed some B26 in North Bethlehem going up center street towards 22.

 

Praise Jesus!  There is room at the inn for band 26.  A few wise men must be configuring the network in North Bethlehem.

Hopefully they stop in Nazareth and Emmaus, too. And maybe Egypt along the way B-)

 

Better yet, when will Network Vision achieve Intercourse?  When I had relatives who lived in Lancaster County, the old joke was something along the lines of "In Intercourse, you can go one way to Paradise, the other way to Blue Ball."

      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....
