Pretty sure this just became the front runner.

 

It may take the perfect Ghostbusters quote to top it.

A year from now when the merger is announced as successful and the magentian overlord Legree is announced as CEO. AJ makes a proclamation, "Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!"

The GMO was only the beginning, we have no idea of the horrors awaiting us.

Stantz: You know, it just occurred to me that we really haven't had a successful test of this equipment.

 

Spengler: I blame myself.

 

Venkman: So do I.

 

Stantz: Well, no sense in worrying about it now.

 

Venkman: Why worry?

When I first saw this I thought that Masa had finally initiated his Rapid Fire B plan which basically attaches pico size smoke detectors  on sites that have LTE to quell the complaints from members that an't tell if their site has LTE or not.

 

But then I saw this...

Read in latest Telco News and Site Reports...

 

TS out

 

 

Edit: off topic but I didn't realize that real life trenchcoat ex- Sprint spokesperson Brian Baker is married to Terry Farrell (of Star Trek DS9 fame)

 

That's a lucky dude right there.

Nice to see one of the oldest form of wireless communications making a comeback to Sprint. Smoke Signals.

 

Let's just hope for the sake of our own health that data hoggers dont heavily congest that slice of spectrum.

I could tweet that picture to @SprintCare and they would still tell me to run a prl/profile update.

 

They've actually taken the pole down. They've just erected ( :lol:  ) a COW.

Dang it, AJ took my pole smoking reference

 

I am not sure that many got my "pole smoking" reference, so I will make it a bit more ribald.

 

One night, a Network Vision contractor in Columbus asked his new girlfriend if she would "smoke his pole."  She looked a bit confused, and the next morning, this happened...

And you could put strychnine in the guacamole.  Whatever.  Just go take your traveler's cheques to a competing provider.

That dude should be thankful that she lit that pole instead of the one he was referring to.

I have seen first hand a cell site on fire while in the public safety sector (police- 2 years, fire service - 8 years) while with the fire department.

 

An incident like this there is really nothing you can do except clear the area and let the fire burn itself out, the site we responded to years ago was a co-located monopole site, the fire started on AT&T's basestation equipment which then the fire spread to the cabling and right up the site it went towards the panels.  The site here experienced structure failure and collapsed within 45mins after I pulled the electric meters to all of the cellular equipment.  It was found that the site was improperly grounded which had caused the fire...

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
