I'll add that a T-Mobile reddit user found a petition by AT&T to use 700 MHz A in Rockford. The 700 A license for Chicago could well end up in the hands of AT&T.

Well, the problem with the Chicago license is that Rupert Murdoch has absolutely no reason to cooperate with the wireless carriers. He makes more than enough money to be able to reject any offer made. And he'd prefer to see mobile wither in favor of TV anyway. AT&T would probably not want to deal with that poison, but it may not have a choice.

If I'm reading this correctly, you have to pay $60 a month, which includes 3GB of data, in order to qualify for the data stash.   At that point, I might as well pay $60 for Sprint for unlimited. Who

This thread has become tedious, repetitious, and at least to me increasingly annoying.  Ok, there are Sprint fanatics who don't like T-Mobile.  And there are T-Mobile fanatics who don't like Sprint.

A couple of thoughts after listening all the way through:   1. LeGere has his competitive sights set firmly on Verizon and AT&T, because they have the market share to steal, and they have the bu

I'm going to end up hating the broadcasters at the end of the 600 MHz reverse auction, as if I don't already. Dinosaurs who can't evolve. That especially goes for Ole' Rupert.

Rupert may be an actual dinosaur when that auction finally happens.

What does Murdoch have to deal with Chicago 700a??

The DTV 51 station in Gary, IN that has an exclusion zone the encompasses the entire Chicago BEA is owned by Fox Television Studios, a division of 21st Century Fox, which is controlled by Rupert Murdoch.

I have a question for someone on here who has T-Mobile service...why is it that whenever a carrier like Verizon or AT&T makes changes to their data offerings and it makes the news. Why is it always comments from T-Mobile customers that state how much data that have used either last billing cycle or currently or data speeds they are getting? I just never understood what that has to do with the topic of the article?

Humblebragging or just plain old bragging, mainly... I don't advertise how much data I use, but there are those who do.

I just don't understand it. I guess by them giving out that info they want people to feel jealous or in a way lesser because they don't have unlimited data which I'm sure a large fraction of people don't care.

That looks like a plain old AIR PCS+AWS antenna. No 700. Most T-Mobile sites around here have had them for a year or so.

 

Not sure how the cable ended up that way. Someone had to really, really screw up the cable mounts for that to happen by accident.

Yeah, no 700a here. There are about 3 antennas per sector on this one too. I wonder how long it will take them to notice... Who manages the TMUS network around these parts?

If the antennas are indeed AIRs then it's Ericsson . lol

Tomorrow's the TMO earnings report and they're accepting questions view text and twitter.

It'd be cool if we could agree on a question so that we all ask it and have a better chance of getting it chosen.

 

My submission: how many pops today and eoy2015 covered with fully modernized towers?

Eriscson predominately covers the coasts and Nokia manages everything else. 

 

T-mobile arguably has the best network and user experience in regions served by Nokia which arguably has the best/highest quality telecom equipment in the US . Samsung is close behind followed by Ericsson and ALU trailing far behind. 

 

It's a shame T-mobile isn't going forward with mass small cell deployments using Nokia equipment. Nokia Flexi Hotzone markets (full Nokia macro + small cell hetnet setups) in their China deployments are ranked #1 out of all vendors in almost every tested  category.

 

Sprint has a pretty big headstart in that regards with Nokia 2.5 + their Flexi Zones small cells that are in the final stages of testing before deployment.  *looks at Atlanta*

Is Nokia equipment predominantly used in Houston and surrounding areas?

well t mobile works well on my block....sprint has to upgrade that tower for better service.....hurry up sprint

 

Stop the presses.  Somebody, alert the Associated Press.  T-Mobile works well on danlodish345's block.  This is national news that everyone needs to know -- now.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
