This is just a placeholder, folks.  There is more to come as moderators move off topic posts out of other threads to this thread.

I did my best to not go of the deep end when I read "social stigma" regarding a wireless carrier...

I see much more social stigma surrounding devices than carriers.

It's true. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard an iphone vs. android debate I could have retired by now. Although, I do think that if google and apple teamed up to make one super smartphone, I believe it would take over the world. Siri would "think" and google would know where to go :lol:

Back to social stigma on carriers, I do get crap from my friends(mainly joking) about how poor a carrier Sprint is. Which I don't understand. What works for you works for you, seems like a silly thing to make a class out of. I'm just glad that I won't succumb to living in a cardboard box from my carrier's fees. Sprint offers a lot for a good price :tu:

I actually over heard a shocking conversation while I was at work the other day.  A co-worker that has sprint was complaining about not having 4g even though hes been paying for it(I kept my mouth shut because I didnt feel like getting into at the time).  The fellow he was talking to then asks "How much do you pay a month?"  The fellow with sprint replies " $75 and change."  Then the other guy replies" Well I have 4g with Verizon.  I also pay over $100/month and oh yeah,  my data is capped at 2 gig.  Quit your bitching."

 

Made my pretty happy.

It's very true. I used to have Verizon and I won't lie I was happy with their coverage, especially in my neck of the woods, but the fees were crazy. I used to have 2 lines on verizon with 700 minutes, 2 gigs data, and unlimited text messages which came up to just under $200 a month. It was nuts. I now have 3 lines on sprint, have unlimited everything, and pay less than before.

      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.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
