Conan Kudo Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yeah, yeah, I'm totally late on the "welcome" topic! But better late than never, I say... I've lurked for a couple of years, but I signed up last year because of... things. Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to finding out more about Sprint's network. Hopefully some of that trickles my way... Too many bulldogs around here, though... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Glad to see you've already found your way around here. The water cooler is in the back. We hang out there a lot, but we only stock Sprint Lemon Kool Aid in it. Come Neal, drink the Kool Aid. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the site, I occasionally sneak a case of blue moon in. I'll be sure to stay clear of that. The result of me drinking alcohol would probably not be too pretty... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffDTD Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 And a big HELLO from Hattiesburg to you. Another member from the obesit- AHEM hospitality state is a welcome addition. There are very few of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are very few of us Indeed. Unsurprising, given how much revulsion a lot of people I've met have for Sprint here. It used to be that way for T-Mobile too, but that's changing (slowly). I look forward to seeing if Network Vision will improve Sprint's reputation here. But Hattiesburg...? You're very nearly a coastie! Hopefully, you aren't like the coasties! Where I am, the area might as well be splashed in maroon with bulldogs running around everywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha the things said about those MS coast people once you get north of Jackson... I was a military kid, so I am not farm fed or magnolia braised. My family is from the coast, but i'm not the devil lol. Sprint's reputation will improve only marginally due to NV in its current incarnation. The majority of the people using the network here now are low income or prepaid. Cspire is also the biggest detractor of rural expansion. Its way cheaper for Sprint to allow preferred 3G roaming on Cspire than it is for Sprint to try to compete in a majority rural state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once was required to bleed maroon, white, and gray, but that's been a very long time ago, now, and cell phones were still not generally handheld, at least for most of the population. I can't imagine how much the proliferation of technology has changed things, there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, good on you. Unfortunately, the coasties I've met up here tend to live up to the stereotypes (which sucks, but oh well). As for NV and C Spire, I could definitely see that. Considering that C Spire and Sprint have been working hand in hand for a few years now, I'm not surprised. I also suspect that C Spire is using the same equipment Sprint uses in ALU markets for the state. I'm surprised that the newly announced roaming is only one-way, though. Sprint customers cannot roam on C Spire's LTE network, despite being a band 25 5MHz FDD network.

I can't imagine how much the proliferation of technology has changed things, there. Well, I'm bleeding maroon here... I wonder how long it will take to stop bleeding maroon once I leave?
