IS that a better plan for 3 people? We have a family plan and I have a discount from my AAA card, which I no longer have but they keep discounting me....My bill with insurance for my phone is 77. Everyone elses is like 66...

I thought they didn't discount the fully unlimited plans?

That's what I thought I read somewhere too. So I wouldn't get the discount...Would there be any benefit to switching over or should I just stick with my plan.

I'm on the family plan from before these new plans. I get 25% off the line one plan, so they can get me off this plan when they pry it out of my cold dead hands.

This is what happens when:

A: A 4G tower bursts into flames

B: A 4G tower is overloaded

C: Sprint decides to start messing with me

D: A 4G tower doesn't actually have backhaul yet.

 

Wonder which?

Wow!

 

Do we know if that's a Sprint tower?

[jamisonshaw125]

Looks like....Their data speeds were blazing!

 

Goodbye now.

Id say stick to the plan you have right now.  

 

Per the sprint site "

Discounts apply to the monthly data charge rather than the primary rate plan for lines on the Unlimited, My Way plan. The My All-in plan is non-discountable."

Yes, it's a Sprint site. I can't post the Site ID here, but yes it's Sprint.

Yup. Unless my plan suddenly gains a cap or throttling, I'm staying with what I have.

I wonder if there's an "on fire" color that Robert can use for his sites complete map...? :-)

Well I guess Ericsson is going to have to come back out once that tower comes crashing down, unless upgrades haven't been completed yet on it

[UCFKnight]

 

 

These are pictures of the site, apparently there was a crew of four working on it when the fire broke out.

Signs you messed up the NV upgrade:

Looks like there isn't any Ericsson NV equipment up yet but it the tower comes down, the tower company is going to have to come back and put a new one up first. Who knows what their schedule is.

Glad that's not my tower!

Hello to all. I have lte in east Orlando near mark's place. My friend lives off of dean road. Any one know anything about Altamonte? I was up town a few weeks back and had lte but it was not usable. I live near the u-hall in altamonte. I have seen lte but i don't know where it is. Maybe near the mall or something. I dont' have any lte here.... I'm blind BTW so no maps for me. I love reading this thread

Update on that tower, it was being used by both Sprint and T-Mobile. Sprint has said that they are going to deploy a mobile cell site to temporarily provide coverage while they figure out what to do about the tower. T-Mobile had no comment.

So this is clearly an edge tower that they were waiting on to fail, which it clearly did today :-)

So this is my take on it. The men where there to weld the new rack required to hold NV equipment which was replacing 2nd from top. Something sparked a flame they couldn't put out fast enough. End of site.

 

Today's post has been brought to you by Sprint, the letters GN and the number 2.
