data usage on Sprint bill

No I mean LTE. My phone did not use that much 3G and I had LTE off yet somehow I used 600kbps in one day. quote name="scubajwd" post="184883" timestamp="1376166330"]

 

Your phone downloaded data via 3G most likely...600 K (if that's what you meant) is less than one (1)

MB of data so it could be an app update or two on your smartphone..

I don't have LTE at my house its at the edge of LTE and of course having the evo LTE and its terrible LTE reception its not gonna pick it up unless its a usable signal. I have cox internet at my house 37 down and 15 up. The problem is to cut costs at my home we don't have cable only internet and apparently there is a 300gb limit that we go over every month and they are threatening to cut us off if it continues. There are 3 of us that live there and my son. I can't control what goes on after I leave for work at the house so LTE would be nice to have since I don't use much data at the house and that would be one less person taking up bandwidth on cox

 

The most crazy part of this story is that you can't get cable or dsl, but, you have LTE. I have had cable Internet since 1998, and can't get LTE. Go figure right?

How do you go over 300gb?!?

I can easily see that with lots of HD streaming in the home. Family of 4 here and we have gone over our 250 gig soft cap a few times.

 

I saw someone posting in one forum where they used 1.8+ terabytes in one month. Not sure what they are downloading but with some speed packages you could burn through your monthly cap in less than a day if you tried.

Well, no LTE yet, but I know what you mean!  The site near me just got upgraded backhaul and "new" 3G service yesterday!

 

The cable stops 1/2 mile down the road from us.  They wanted like $21k to put up poles and underground wires to our house.  Our Verizon landline is ~22,000 feet from the CO.  We're supposed to get Verizon DSL by October 2014 under PA state law - I wrote about that in another thread if you're curious about that.

Almost 17 GB in one month no overages but you did have two different devices..yup

interesting

 

Only the 3rd line was on a different device.  The first 2 were on the same one (got switched back and forth when the new device didn't work).

Still good info.. I may risk an overage this month just to prove that the tiers

are not cumulative as two Sprint CS reps told me..the overwhelming opinion here

in S4GRU is that you get a new fresh data bucket every time you change tier

Yes.

 

Is it by usage or by the days?  If it were by days, you could circumvent the system (which is not approved of on here) and increase total usage for one price.  But that is wrong and unethical.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
