jamisonshaw125 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Cell site density is another explanation at least in Phoenix. Att has about 20-30 percent more cell towers in the valley than does sprint. In Phoenix ATT voice and HSDPA network runs off 1900. Sprint starved the network of capital for years and that included add new sites. 800 will bring them up to par in terms of voice but data coverage will require 2.6 and densifying the network. Sorry. Meant to say "one of the reasons" not only. Perks of mobile devices. If I even sent that one from my 5s lol.

JohnHovah Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 There was a beautiful thread on it a little while ago. What irks me is how verizon still uses outdated maps in their commercials even though we know they have superior coverage. every time I see those commercials I pause and rewind to see the fine print. usually their coverage maps are 6mos-year old and the fine print is an entirely different 6mos-year timeframe. Density for the 2.6 network. They have also indicated that expanded service into new areas is not a priority for them. I am sure they will do some but I don't get the impression that a massive push in rural coverage is any where on the horizon. Robert explained it best above. As far as density is concerned that also has been addressed. They are looking at femto and pico cells to help "densify" coverage in the future which they are not including in their overall macrocell figures. I'm certainly of the same mind that Son and Co will not be discussing any additional cell sites since they will probably be used for leverage in the T-Mo buyout. One thing Son is, is not stupid. He has many cards up his sleeve. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divesting EBS+T-Mobile's network to Dish which will then offer wireless broadband 3. Promising a price war 4. World Peace ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrell352 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Every network is garbage in the USA. I need to take a trip to Japan lol. Son doesn't want to settle like a lot of people I see on the forums talking about epenis. If we truly are paying more for less then bring on the higher speeds. Shouldnt have to settle for 6-8 even if we dont need it. This conference is very cool. Notice who has been added.

A lot of these companies are greedy and will give us mediocre service so they can reap the most benefits. I hope Son can make this happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk well i see some folks complain like its so wrong to stream a video or a nice movie because your using the so called network data and such or oh your hogging up this or that or because of you this is the reason the network sucks and whatnot when the point is the network sucks because it just do its not up to par like it should be. Im not saying its ok to tether your damn ps4 or xbox using the damn cell network and such but if i have a 6inch no homo with a beautiful screen beast of a high power phone im going to use it as i please if it means streaming a movie on the go or while i wait outside of a doctors appointment or something or miracast it to my tv and watch a movie or something loading webpages and facebooking or intagramming and tapatalking aint the only thing out there to do.
