This would be a more attractive offer if LTE tablets were not so often weeks, even months behind their Wi-Fi counterparts.  Many of us have long had the Wi-Fi version by the time the LTE version is released.

After looking at Tmobile's coverage map, it looks way better than Sprint's crappy coverage map that looks so primitive like it was made by a 15 year old.  Sprint really needs to hire someone who can revamp the coverage map badly.  What bugs me the most about the Sprint coverage map is that you are limited to that tiny square box that they provide as if you can see anything.  We should be able to maximize it to at least 80% of your screen.  There is no reason why the coverage maps should not take up a lot of the screen.

 

 

That has long been one of those things that absolutely drives me nuts about Sprint.

 

The problem is that it is intentional.

 

Sprint doesn't want an easy way for their competition to send people to Sprint's OWN page to see just how horrid the coverage actually is.

 

Maybe if they manage to implement the network upgrade and get some coverage they will start to make the map worth using.

 

For now, I'll stick with Sensorly.

This.

 

Main reason why I don't have the LTE Nexus 7.

I'd have to pay for personal hotspot, this is free.  By the way , it auto-renewed itself, and still working great. I haven't paid them a penny and they don't even have my CC info. 

 

Just to make it clear to us all, do they or do they not have your credit card info?

Yes, I have this deal too. I am mostly on WiFi, and also have a Zing, so I only use about half of that 200MB in a typical month. My other inspiration was curiosity, to see the level of TMo coverage in the areas I frequent. It is always nice to have first-hand experience over coverage maps and hearsay.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
