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.

If you remove the GMO sites, Sprint is pretty far along and certainly can be complete with Band 25 build out on Non GMO sites this year.  When you consider how long it took Tmo to do its backhaul upgr

Given Sprint's LTE maps knack for over statement of coverage, it will look more like this on Sprint maps:     Robert

I now have all four carriers. Sprint, Tmo, Verizon and AT&T. I can tell you that none of them are very good everywhere. Every one of them has places on their network that is pathetic. It's nice to

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 What irks me is how verizon still uses outdated maps in their commercials even though we know they have superior coverage.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.

Oh, yeah, there are still alot of concessions to be made:

1. Increasing+thickening coverage to match AT&T

2. Divesting EBS+T-Mobile's network to Dish which will then offer wireless broadband

3. Promising a price war

4. World Peace ???? :P

"And take a peek here for the ENTIRE presentation."

 

That one hour video was well worth the time to watch it.  It explains the plan in detail and how he can get the USA there.

Agreed. I might have missed it, but he was on Charlie Rose before his presentation.

I must be hallucinating! Joan Lappin saying something good about Sprint (well not about Sprint, more about Masa).

Meh. Her crap is still borderline unreadable.

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. Very nice. http://recode.net/2014/03/14/softbanks-masa-son-added-to-code-conference-roster/Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

I completely agree. I mean the US being 15th out of 16 in the world, come on. We should be getting what we pay for. 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.

I'm not saying that we need to be the best in the world. I just find it kind of sad that we are almost last. I know we don't need blazing fast speeds for web pages, but in my mind it wouldn't hurt.

Wow.  I would expect someone who would type something so nonsensical to want to pay more for e-penis enlargement.  I can't believe you said that publicly.  Wow.

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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
