Need an upgrade to get a LTE phone? Sprint's changes of their discount policy may be the ticket.

Every time there is a material change to the terms and conditions of your contract with Sprint, customers have the ability to request to cancel without an early termination fee. Some people have been reporting that when they call Sprint about the changes to the discount policy (Sprint took 19.99 from the discount eligible main plan and moved it to the second line which cannot be discounted costing customers around $5 per month) they have had their term committment wiped out instead of cancelling. If someone had no term committment, they could cancel that line and add another line qualifying for the new line discount when LTE phones are released without having to have an upgrade credit available.

 

I called to try to wipe the term commitment off of my plan and the operator I talked to said that I could cancel without a ETF, but they couldn't wipe off my term commitment. Other message boards have had people as recently as 24 January saying that some CSRs will, so I guess it may depend on who you talk to. I will be trying again.

      A new apartment building in my neighborhood is getting a 4G/5G DAS installed. No idea if it's going to be carrier agnostic or if it's going to be just for one carrier. The antennas they are using cover the full range of spectrum from 600MHz-4.9GHz so no telling by equipment alone. I noticed a ton of Cat6E ethernet being run in the garage a couple of days back and then I saw a guy running the ethernet through the ceiling yesterday and didn't think to ask what for until I noticed this antenna this morning mounted on a wall outside near the ramp but with nothing connected to it at the moment.     The garage attendant told me that the phones that are provided to them by the parking management company are on Verizon and they're the only carrier without coverage down there so the building management told them that they're "installing something to fix it". So as far as I know, this will work on Verizon but I'm curious to see who else will get a boost too. — — — — — Without exaggerating, I have mapped a new at least one new small cell on my way to work every day this week. I don't know who the regional network managers for NYC and Boston are, but other cities need to take a page from their book about small cell buildouts. And it's not just upgrades of existing small cells, it's new ones too. Not to mention pings near 10ms on all of them.
