You will no longer have 4G. Unless they extend the life of the WiMax network even longer.

I have heard of two plans:

  1. Remaining WiMAX users will be encouraged to upgrade; otherwise, they will lose 4G service.
  2. Remaining WiMAX users will be taunted, then rounded up and jailed, their homes burned to the ground.

Sprint is probably leaning toward the second option now, but the first option is likely to win out by 2015...

Oh, you know what? On that second plan, I confused Sprint WiMAX with AT&T GSM. Yeah, remaining AT&T GSM users will definitely have their homes burned to the ground.

You will be encouraged to upgrade.

Resistance is DEFINITELY futile.

Id guess Sprint will do what Verizon is doing right now for people still using Altell data....

 

They tell you it's gone, you can keep the phone for talk only, but heres $x for a discounted upgrade which we recommend you take.

      I really apreciate no longer seeing n38 for T-Mobile. My s24 Ultra is reporting that Signalcheck Pro is crashing frequently.  It has the latest updates. I do occassional change sims and band preferences. Let me know if you need anything else.   Thanks.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.
