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.

    • Checked just now and found a 56MB GP System update pending...will follow up after install.    Edit:  Confirmed that this one moved from August to September 1 after updating.
    • Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
