Yes I remember the "Sprint Speed" commercials back then when I was living in Cincinnati. It really was industry leading at the time and, yes, fast (relatively speaking).

 

Many people forget about that time, The management post-Nextel merger made all of the wrong decisions. Every one of those decisions dug Sprint into a deeper hole come the era of smartphones and ubiquitous data usage.

These days I consistently get 3G speeds of 1Mbps or more, sometimes even 2+ Mbps. Coupled with low latency on eHRPD, I find it to be eminently usable for most purposes.

Most Sprint critics won't believe, or remember, but around 2007-2008, Sprint's EvDO network regularly beat out all three competitors. Back then, HSDPA wasn't a thing, so all GSM carriers had was EDGE.

It's good to see Sprint's 3G network back performing the way it should always have.

 

Yes agreed.. And I remember those days. It was great to be a sprint customer. With NV I have seen nothing less than 1 Mbps dl. Brings back the good ole days.

Finally had a chance to see the video.  I must say that it does give the average consumer a better sense of what Network Vision is all about and how Sprint plans to use its 800 and 2500 MHz spectrum for additional data capacity.  It dumbs it down so that the average consumer can understand it.  Now if only Sprint can start sending this video message out without hiding it on their Youtube channel so that more people understand.  But I still feel at the end of the day, people will always whine and complain and have that "what have you done for me lately" attitude which equates to ongoing slow data speeds and lack of LTE coverage.

I'm hoping that Sprint has a massive nationwide marketing campaign after Network Vision completion that has a simple video like this, or series of videos to explain the massive scale of the upgrades to the average Joe. I'm not sure how to cut it down to a proper 30-60 second TV spot though.

Just do a time lapse of one tower upgrade then a time lapse of Roberts map from start to finish.

Sprint should definitely make a commercial of network vision and they should have this video played constantly through out Sprint stores

I like that idea. Also kind of related, has anyone seen the new T-Mobile commercials where they directly go after Verizon's horribly inaccurate coverage map commercials? I wish Sprint would speak up and do a commercial setting the record straight on their LTE coverage compared to what Verizon shows. Being silent on the issue only invites critics to let it become truth.

Maybe sprint is waiting until they have a little more complete on the network before they shout too loud. Couple more months and it could be awesome.

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.
