Sprint (NYSE: S) continues to make progress with its own 100G optical path by completing two key trials of the technology on its wireline network. Working with its optical systems partner Ciena (Nasd

I still blame CenturyLink 100% for this. My neighbor used to work for Qwest here before the merger, etc... it's exactly what Qwest used to do, just a different name.

This is generally good advice, however, you will find a few store reps that are very good.  You just have to be smart enough to know which ones are knowledgeable & trustworthy and which ones are full of crapola.

At that point, you yourself are more knowledgeable then the staff and their information is null.

He always goes off-topic.  I'm down to see these larger network speeds delivered to cities for their use to all of it's residents.  This level of speed could easily be utilized by a large city, or maybe by a small consortium of people at greater distance to the hub.

 

 

You can fix that by blackmailing the local government officials with pictures of them holding a cat by it's tail.  That'll learns them.  But no really, your best bet to change the oligopoly is to inform the locals that your elected officials are not looking to save them money and allow competition.  My HOA is doing the same thing right now.

 

Hmmmm, exactly my plan ;)

 

Not so much "speed", but to bring large data center bandwidth into the cities.  It equates back to speed however, as this is BROADband we are talking about. 

 

According to the person at the AT&T store across the street from my house, Comcast owns all the fiber in this area and has an aggressive ad campaign that has buried any reason for AT&T to invest in putting fiber down to support u-verse and their high speed Internet. As far as Verizon, they made a deal to offer Verizon wireless as a part of comcast's bundled services for a quadruple play home phone, cable, Internet and wireless deal to increase market dominance for Verizon wireless and Comcast both but as part of that, they can't compete with their own FiOS services. It seems besides cell service, there is little competition in the telco business overall.

basically bull$hit..

At that point, you yourself are more knowledgeable then the staff and their information is null.

If you have found your way to the S4gru forum, you know more than anyone inside the retail store.

Neo Telecoms got a high profile metro customer in its Parisian home turf. The French metro fiber and hosting company is supplying Sprint with a DWDM solution. Sprint is using the bandwidth to bring its IP backbone into a key data center. It’s nice to see Sprint expanding a bit on the wireline side in the wake of the Softbank deal.

What exactly is Sprint doing here? I get that they're connecting with a data center in France but what does this mean?

Better connectivity for anyone on the Sprint network to\from the Paris area. This applies to enterprise customers as well as wireless customers.

They already have a global network. Its just been through over ten years of neglect, so they need to catch up.

I awlays thought that they need to either invest in it and let it compete or spin it off. Inparticular I thought they should have acquired some metro fiber companies like twtelecom, etc. I wanted to see them provide an end to end solution for cloud proviers, CDNs, etc. Their flirtation with the cable cos did not go very well.

They are working on that now. Cloud and such is part of the product portfolio now. Offerings such as Sprint Complete Collaboration, Sprint IaSS, etc.

That's good to hear! I have not been engaged on the spec/RFP business lately (last couple of years) but a few years ago they just seemed discombobulated and disinterested. I hope they get involved in the whole OTT video revolution.

      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.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
