The towernear my home is offline again. This time the electricity problem but the electricity returns and the tower continue offline. I'm getting tired off this.

Yes... sprint service is getting worse. If this problem continues I think i will cancel and go with at&t. I will pay a little more but i will get good signal and fast lte speeds.

Never wait for a carrier to upgrade, if another carrier is better for you, you should go.

Iwas thinking that Sprint was great When I cancel my Tmobile service. I have in my hand my Tmobile sister iPhone 7 and have signal like always and a speedtest throws 24.2mbs. I can't even watch a youtube video with my LG v20 with Sprint. I loose the hope.

Open mobile at mayaguez mall band 13 30meg that with a motorola phone at the open store

Let's hope Sprint uses B13 when the merger is complete.

Considering Samsung designed a B13 RRU... It's likely.

You can say that again. The last time I was in the USVI (about 2 years ago) getting a signal wasn't the problem, speeds were.

Yeah, at any given moment I would be lucky if I can get .5mb to .7mb down while on lte but the crazy part is that on 3g I get a reliable 1.5mb to 2.2mb down no matter the time of day regardless of location.  So when I am not on wifi, I am actually on 3g because its faster and more reliable than lte.  AT&T though, averaging 30mb to 40mb down.

B25 is probably congested, evdo is not

When the sprint-openmobile merger will start???

Sprint needs an improvement in PR ASAP..

The sprint puerto rico facebook page has so many bad comments regarding LTE speeds and signal strenght.

Why are you waiting for that to happen? Just switch to another carrier then check back in a year.

Simple answer...

Because i have a lease and going to another carrier will cost me more than $300.

FYI, upgrades and such take time, especially with Sprint's budget situation, nothing happens overnight in this industry.

 

So if you have no choice but to wait, id say check in every 6 months.

I know upgrades doesnt happen overnight but...

 

The problem is that this situation has being happening For a long time ( more than one year)

 

Even the workers know the problem.. and their solution is "use 3G" or "use wifi" lol

 

But.. lets see what happens

The same happens to me. My lease ends in 9 months. I have 3 lines. But me and mi girlfriend agree to switch Asap to T-Mobile when the lease ends. All my family have T-Mobile and the speeds are comparable to the Sprint LTE Plus. With this time wirh Sprint I conclude that is far away in performance from the other carriers. No Volte, the data are 2G speeds. I loose hope. Also I got earlier today a email from Sprint they denied the Magic Box to my account.

Can't even watch Netflix. I have a LG v20 and a unlimited plan that cant even browse Facebook hahaha

 

Maybe you cannot watch Netflix because too many people are trying to watch Netflix, causing network congestion.

 

Look, a mobile phone is not a TV replacement.  And "unlimited" data is not a broadband Internet replacement.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
