They know flies gather to s***. Roger Cheng has no love for Sprint. He can't even pretend to be partial.

 

I do laugh that AT&T and T-Mobile got "ho hum" scores, for what it's worth.

Saw this. CNET just loves to sh*t on Sprint. It's what they do and it's annoying. Rather than the title being "Consumer Reports Carrier Survey..." it's "Sprint in last place..."

 

When you stated this, I just KNEW it had to be Roger Cheng that wrote the 'article'. Click the link and sure enough...

People don't understand that upgrading/replacing a network completely doesn't happen overnight. In some areas, the NV upgrades can't come fast enough, therefore people leave. The only problem I've seen is that current LTE markets such as Miami (where I live), speeds are starting to drop to very low levels.... 1-2 mbps. About three weeks ago I was in NYC, and in some area's LTE/3G was almost nothing - no data, couldn't send/receive iMessages.... But I'm hanging onto Sprint...  5 years and counting.

Why did I read the CNET article comments? Pardon me while I now go have a stiff drink or shoot myself.

I thought the same thing. Hate hard on Sprint. I have a feeling that next year will be the beginning of a beautiful new network for Sprint and even Roger will have to acknowledge it.

Ahhh but he won't, the article will be twisted and barely mention Sprint even if Sprint's network becomes king.

 

Edit: Oh, I don't even know who Brian is!  I thought that was the guy who wrote the article.   :P

There is a front page link on CNN.com. I wanted to comment on why I returned to Sprint after 8 years but then I said to myself "It's an internet comments section..."

 

 

Most of the Internet can do that to me now. 'Murica.

What is 'Murica? I've seen this before.

Thank you for the 5 minutes of "OMG, 'Murica da besties" and "America is a continent not a country" comments.  Those people drive me bonkers

Yeah if they want to get technical America is a set of 2 continents called the Americas.  Haha people are just misinformed.  But  most intelligent people know when just America is said we mean USA.

Things like this are to be expect led when rebuilding a network from the ground up. What really sucks for sprint (and their customers) is the six month delay NV has had put on it. That means 6 more months of building up a bad reputation, customer defections and delays rebranding effort.

It's kinda odd that we get articles like this, and yet... For example, in West Michigan (in full swing of NV, just did some massive 3G cluster upgrades), especially the last 3 months, the calls to Care for non-device issues have steadily dropped each month.

You are forewarned, this is definitely NSFW.  But this sums up the 'Murica attitude...

 

 

'Murica is basically a few hundred million ignorant consumers, even though the free market does not function properly without knowledge and research.

 

And the second is a reflection on the state of Web comments in 'Murica...

To acknowledge progress would mean writers like Roger Chang would have to do research. These type of writers don't want to do that, it's way too hard for them to do research. They would rather take the easy and lazy way out to write linkbait articles, rather than doing technical research to discover the truth of what is happening.

Sadly, modern media is all about clickbait articles. Its disgusting.

People would be more understanding if their bill reflected the "dust" or if Sprint handed out free airaves when asked. I got my dad an airave for free in one call over a year ago. As a result, hes 100% satisfied with Sprint...even though the tower near his house should certainly not be "in progress"  for 15 months.

 

My mom, on a different bill/plan could not get an airave. I went 5 levels up the customer care chain (called on her behalf, as I know the keywords one should use with call center reps) and they would not send her one for less than $150. She would probably give Sprint an F- if asked on a survey.

 

 

You can ask people to bare with you, but the price is attrition and low customer remarks. On the flip side, 5-10 off bills, and sending out airaves when requested, buys you some time. Sprint elected (or could not afford) to retain customers by doing that. The result is predictable.

    • T-Mobile Fires Back At AT&T After Their Statements On T-Priority
    • 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.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
