What ever happened to ISN?


Mondays In Flames

Recommended Posts

So the other day I was going to a couple of websites and I went to ISN (Inside Sprint Now) but I remembered that Sprint had the site brought down. What happened? There really hasn't been any updates from ISN since the whole moving his stuff offshore or something?

 

Just Curious :)

I remember seeing somewhere on these forums a link to documents showing that Sprint was asking the court to subpoena some websites to hand over the details of who the person was. Quick google search found this:

My guess would be he's laying low trying not to be found out. Haven't seen any updates on the Twitter feed or anywhere else in a while, but it's been a couple weeks since I looked.

I loved this dude during the whole EVO LTE embargo, and he was better when the OG EVO came out. I know Sprint hates stuff like this but to me he was the only thing that kept me from cancelling my order for the LTE. Companies at some point are going to learn that there is a very large segment of customers that love phones and anything to do with them. We are not the majority but large enough. There is nothing wrong to give information AND saying this is the best info we have right now. Hell if I were Sprint I would be sending tweets stating what cities are having LTE sites installed, heck maybe a webcam. A reality type of show on line possiblly. It's not just Sprint of course and they are better than most but I think some business miss a real opportunity to interact with customers. Facebook and Twitter are fine but stupid updates and wallposts don't cut it in most cases. Tweet something significant like "Guess what Tampa we are in town..LTE coming soon" that would be cool but companies don't want that. Too busy trying not to be a dumb pipe I guess

ISN got in trouble when he posted some internal webcasts with Alcatel Lucent

S4GRU is still around because of you.  Being a member driven and supported site, we thrive as others fall.  We will still be around as long as you guys (and a few gals) are still here.

    • 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....
