Saw these two guys just outside of Waikiki. Hopefully they are installing backhaul.

 

So, remember how you said you hope they were installing backhaul?  I'm getting LTE right now by the zoo. :)  I flashed a 4.4.4 based rom on my GN3 yesterday and had 0 LTE on the freeway to work.  Just now I found a build.prop tweak that gives you the "spark" icon and low and behold, my 3G went to LTE.  Thought it was just the build prop tweak playing tricks on me, but I'm getting 5Mbitt download right now

This morning got 4GLTE next to Punahou school in Makiki.

 

For about 5 minutes, until lost the signal going down the elevator.

 

Unfortunately, forgot to speed test it, was too excited.... haha.

Plenty of new LTE towers stretching out to Kaimuki and Kahala Mall on Sprint Network. Lots of new purple clouds showing up on Sensorly.

Looks like just one. And there's a new LTE tower out in Aina Haina and another in Waipahu.

Unfortunately, Maui only has lte in the Napili area. Worked pretty good for me when I was there the other day. Too bad I'm hardly in the area. The guy at the Sprint store said Haiku would be the next one lit. Didn't say when. But damn, Haiku of all places.

Wow, for real out of all the places on Maui, they choose Haiku next?!..why not Lahaina & Kahului areas first, that's where pretty much everyone is...smh!

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
