I was on lunch today at tmobile checking out their plan prices. One of the reps came up and asked what service you on? I said Sprint and she immediately went on this rant on how sprint is slow, ouch

First off. You need to read up a bit more before you start complaining about speeds.Sprints 5x5 has a maximum theoretical output of 37.5mbps DL and ~ 14 mbps UL. The theoretical maximum is the absolut

Wait a minute, Wasn't Samsung putting in equipment elsewhere? Not NYC? According to the map.

It's a Samsung RRU because this is a Clear site, not a Sprint site!

. Ok enlighten us please. You have all the knowledge all the power, who is doing the work sir

 

I have no idea. That wasn't the point.....  :rolleyes:

 

I'm not arguing with you! Why don't you see that!

 

I was just clarifying that it is a clear site, not a Sprint site, and that was the reason for the Samsung RRU. I have no CLUE who is doing the physical work, and I wasn't trying to correct you on that.

So upcoming phones will support wimax lte?

Close, but a mix of words there. WiMax and LTE are two separate technologies. Sprint/Clear is utilizing the spectrum that was used for WiMax to deploy TD-LTE to provide higher speeds and capacity. 

 

Phones that support this band of LTE, as well as PCS and SMR LTE will be released this fall. The iPhone 5s and Note 3 are notable (hah) exceptions to the list. 

 

The LG G2, GS4 Mini, Galaxy Mega, and Nexus 5 will be Tri-Band, supporting all bands of LTE that Sprint is utilizing.

Park slope isn't exactly that far away from red hook. But the fact that u got a signal shows, progress.

 

It is pretty far when you are on the edge of Red Hook while inside a building that usually swallows up a signal, and that signal came from the Prospect Park side of Park Slope. That is pretty far for NYC, where towers hardly cover a 1000 ft radius. Imagine LTE doing something like that, although it is less usable.

      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....
