Verizon Data Lag

Thought this was interesting.  Check out this video..http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000217915&__source=yahoo%7cheadline%7cquote%7cvideo%7c&par=yahoo

this just goes to show why Robert and the other moderators stress using wifi WHEN available.  Verizon already caps its users but is struggling.  Once sprint starts becoming a real contender with NV being done and gaining more subscribers they will run into the same problem and the first solution is to cap everyones data.  Obviously yes its unlimited and so when you are out and about have fun with it and enjoy not worrying about your data cap while you laugh at your friends.  To help keep it that way, this is precisely why they stress using wifi WHEN you can.

From the information we have around here, the bogging of data transfers should be limited for sometime as Sprint has put scalable backhaul in place for just that reason.

From what I've read and my understanding so does verizon.  But it will eventually catch up I think and my main point was the use of wifi when you can.

The Commander Spock (AJ) of S4GRU emphasises that point often.

Even the Vulcan salute looks a bit like the "W" in Wi-Fi.  Need I say more...

This of course brings to mind an immediate mental image (an eyeworm, if you will):  Does AJ have pointy ears?

    • 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.
