Your best bet is calling up Sprint stores until you find one. There's plenty of options where you live.

Ok looked it up. Only version available is the 128GB iphone 6 in silver and in gold.

 

They are available to pick up in the store instantly.

 

64GB is not available . Get the 128GB

 

That's what I have

I don't have $450 and some change I have 350$ and some change lol. The 128 is for power users any how I just don't need that much space.

You will have it very likely for the next 2 years. It's only an extra $100. I look it at like its unlimited possibilities and I enjoy my phone a lot more knowing I can basically download and put anything on my phone.

 

You can't find a job to make a $100?

 

I know your in school, but I'm sure you can find something for it.

 

You'll really enjoy it :)

Taking the 7 train as I do daily, the only time I switch to 3G is when pulling into Queensboro Plaza. Coming above ground going into Queens on my way home, I see my phone latching onto LTE relatively quickly.

Yeah they sure do. The 5s is worth like 320$ at the Sprint store. Apple buyback is different, they only give 180 for a 5 and I don't know how much for a 5s.

I got $353 for my 5s the day the 6 Plus came out

Not bad. I believe apple is doing a big restock of iPhone's around the end of this month beginning of next month so I'm gonna be on the lookout [emoji102][emoji102][emoji102]

What happened at LaGuardia Airport? According to o root metrics:

 

Sprint’s median download speed decreased from 18.3 Mbps to 3.8 Mbps, and its median upload speed fell from 3.1 Mbps to 1.0 Mbps.

 

Ref: http://www.rootmetrics.com/us/rsr/lga-airport/2014/2H

Simple B25 saturation! Im pretty sure they connected to only B25. Right now its already a different story, with NY speeds being excellent!

Boys and Girls! we have 8t8r lift off!!!

 

I bumped into at least 10 8t8r sites ALIVE and KICKING! My home site is already broadcasting!

 

 

Speeds were hovering between 20-30mb on all sites!

 

That seems to be the top speed at the moment on any 8T8R deployment. As soon I hit a Clear convertion, I am able to hit speeds between 60-70MB down.

Many of them are provisioned the same backhual speed as the 5 mhz carriers so they mostly top out at 40mbps as 5mhz FDD tops out at ~37 mbps.

 

The backhaul providers will be busy delivering more bandwith for the new carriers soon enough. It'll be much easier this time as they're mostly fiber based or other types of easily scalable backhaul. There's already a number of sites starting to hit 60-80 mbps after it was turned on and initially provisioned 40 mbps.

Question, when did Sprint say they were going to be done rolling out LTE or even fully upgraded 3G. Legacy 3G just suckys butt Tbh

 

I don't think they gave a definitive date. In NYC, I think it'll be around summer next year when Sprint will hit the 100% NV completed sites mark and around year end for 100% LTE conversion.

Hello all, I just registered hoping to get some information. I'm in the 11242 area in Brooklyn, and my LTE service is pretty embarrassingly slow. I'm talking .15 down with 495 ping(vs .72 down with 95 ping on 3G only mode). I've put my iPhone in field test mode, and I think I saw it connected to band 25?(I could be wrong, as I'm not too familiar with the iPhone FTM). Its frustrating that I have to force it on 3G to even do anything, I've even updated the PRL (currently on 51103) and still no go.

 

I just want to watch Game of Thrones in glorious HD on this beautiful screen :(

My question is does Sprint pay backhaul vendors by fiber bandwidth? Otherwise why don't lay down the top bandwidth from beginning.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
