tmiw Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 So then why would sprint use 800 mhz lte if no phones support that Because phones that support it are coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekedupjay Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 But thats dumb you think more areas will support regular lte than 800 mhz lte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmiw Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 But thats dumb you think more areas will support regular lte than 800 mhz lte Every Sprint tower is going to support both eventually (with the exception of the towers near the Mexican and Canadian borders).

After the nextel shutdown or 800 first and then the regular spectrum All of the equipment is going to be put on there, but only the 1900 will be active until at least after the 30th.

lilotimz Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yay do you guys think once network vision is finished sprint will have the fastest 3g speeds out of all the carriers ?? Absolutely no. Faster than the EVDO that Verizon has been neglecting? Definitely. Faster than HSPA+ 14.4 (ATT) or T-mobile HSPA +21 or DC-HSPA+42? Nope.

IcJc Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yay do you guys think once network vision is finished sprint will have the fastest 3g speeds out of all the carriers ??I would duet it but for sure there 3g will be very usable for people that have lte phones with bad battery life and would prefer to use the cdma Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FancyyFootwork Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Still at about 650+ ping and .08 down and up where I'm at. I'm starting to get impatient on this whole rollout thing. Any place I go locally here it seems my internet is never useable, and it really bothers me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexuss4g Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Im talking regular 3g not hspa as far as 3g goes will sprint be the fastest I don't think that after NV 3G speeds will be the fastest, but the upgrades will provide better signal and reliable connectivity to every user.

geekedupjay Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Sprints shareholders approved softbanks take over bid today of 78 percent of the company the deal is expected to close in early july do you think network vision will still be going ?? If so will it be faster as far upgrading all the towers ??? And will 4g lte start ramping up more coverage?? Will 4g lte advanced be more available much faster since thats what softbank uses and will virginmobile boostmobile be part of sprint/softbank,, how much is 78 percent of the sprint company like will softbank use use and own sprint towers like virginmobile does?? And do all the upgrades much faster and the company will be named sprint softbank or just sprint still?? Will unlimited be available since softbank has a 5gb data cap in japan???

tmiw Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 R.I.p sprint 1899 -2013 Sprint is hardly dead. In fact, the Softbank deal being approved makes it less likely they're going away any time soon. All that's left now is to buy the rest of Clearwire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
