Rawvega Member Level: 4G LTE

Yes, it is interesting that with their second place finish it seems that a fair number of Sprint users are satisfied with their smartphones despite the incessant complaining about the network on the interwebz.

 

Another interesting note from the article:

 

The primary reasons for purchasing a smartphone device differ by carrier. Sprint customers are more likely to purchase their smartphone device because of phone features, while T-Mobile customers are more likely to select their smartphone due to price.

 

So it seems that while t-mobile is leading the race towards the bottom, Sprint needs to continue their focus on deploying Network Vision which will only enhance the user experience.

I hate to bring this up, but if T-Mobile is solely competing on price, why is there very little difference in pricing from what I see with T-Mobile?  Also, most of the RootMetrics results I see right now, put T-Mobile up on Sprint.  This is a case where I think the JDPower results poll consumers who don't always have the best perception. 

 

Verizon has the best network but the lowest device satisfaction, while they might have been tied with T-Mobile in reality, T-Mobile's results didn't include Apple. I'm sure that if you toss in Apple, T-Mobile's overall results go up much closer to where Sprint is at. 

 

Therefore, I don't know if I can say that T-Mobile is leading the race to the bottom. 

 

Finally, can I say that I read anything JDPower puts out with a gigantic grain of salt?

      While I've been loath to update my Samsung devices past the May 2022 update to keep the Band Selection tool, I note that it looks like Android 14 is going to add Timing Advance for NR to the API.  (Was looking today as I have another Verizon A42 5G now that I'm going to unlock for T-Mobile, and wanted to figure out if I should let it update or not.)  Since I can technically make band changes from *#73#, on the A42 5Gs, I can probably live without the Band Selection tool if a later Android version adds something useful like TA values. I assume SCP will be updated to support that once it becomes publicly available.  The real question is whether or not the phones will support it.  My S21FE and A42 5G devices do on LTE, but I know the S22 and the A32 5G do not support it even on LTE, providing just zero in that field. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      The A23 5G appears to support all of the Dish NR bands except n26 which they don't even own yet, and n29 which as SDL can't be logged as far as I can tell.  https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=6760  I mean, n71, n66, and n70 are there, and those are the ones I'm most concerned about. I know that's not trade press, but I've found Phone Scoop to tend to be missing bands rather than including bands that should be there. I don't really care if it's carrier locked; if I'm buying a device specifically for Dish, then I'm probably not switching it out in the immediate future. - Trip

      I mapped out the various phone choices to Dish's NR bands.  Used trade press for many of the phones, which can be unreliable.  Just starting with N71, you are down to three phones: Moto G Stylus 5G 2022, Moto Edge+ (2022), Celero 5G+.  Add in the less frequent n66 and you are down to: Moto G Stylus 5G 2022, Moto Edge+ (2022).  The Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 then walks away with the rest of the bands.   A negative is even if you pay cash, the phone is carrier locked for a year.

      After nearly a month T-Mobile seems to be finally expanding n25 beyond the initial 5 sites they were using. However, it seems to be quite the mess. The three sites near me are all using different size channels. I'm getting a 5Mhz channel that's only using the G Block, a 15Mhz channel that's using the C Block, and a 20Mhz channel that's using C+G, each from a different site all next to each other. Very confusing.
