Is anyone else seeing a different Sprint.com website?  It looks totally different, at least on the main page?

 

 

This URL should get you there: http://www.sprint.com/tnt22/index-base.html

Congrats to Sprint for the 360 turnaround in Kansas!!

They obviously didn't factor in the east side of the city very heavily. Makes me wonder about these tests. But this rating is impressive considering that I've heard they haven't finished rolling out B41 in Wichita.

If you can't see the new site, try clearing your browser cache and refresh.

I see the new front page using that link. Very nice! When I sign in though, it's the same old layout and colors, etc as before, even after clearing my browser cache.

Yes, I downgraded. :-D

Nice so far but I'm sure...well I hope that the rest of the website will be converted over the next few days. *crossing fingers for a new map*

There is a map on the report page that shows the testing area. Tests are distributed throughout that area.

No, the RootMetrics methodology is fine.  It may not be perfect, but it is the best available -- more systematic and rigorous than the assessments of any casual wireless users.  And the east side was tested thoroughly and equally just as it should be.  You are just fixating on an area where you have experienced service that you deemed less than satisfactory.

Make no mistake, it is not just me who has these issues. Tower spacing is a big problem for sprint on the east side. It is entirely possible that all the carriers have the same issues though so it didnt hurt sprint as much relative to the other carriers. Perhaps by the end of the year they'll be #1 in wichita?

NE Wichita in particular, especially along the K-96 corridor is mediocre.  But is improving with B26.  Three well placed sites out that way would probably put Sprint as #1, handily.  But this still shows that Sprint is competitive in Wichita, in fact, among the best.  But Sprint customers know every place where it's not good, and focus on them.  

 

I am an AT&T customer, and all the places they are not great drive me nuts.  But I would still believe RootMetrics report on my area about AT&T.  Even if they said they were tied with VZW.

Whats this about free international data roaming? Is that coming to other plans?

Supposedly throttled at 2G speeds; specific country list:

  • Argentina
  • Brazil
  • Chile
  • Costa Rica
  • El Salvador
  • Germany
  • Guatemala
  • Japan
  • Mexico
  • Nicaragua
  • Panama
  • Russia
  • South Korea
  • Spain
  • United Kingdom

Hopefully they can broaden the coverage (*cough* Canada) and make this option available on all unlimited plans.

Yeah they're definitely behind TMO on the international thing.

It's not like the countries picked are solely up to Sprint. The foreign careers have to play ball and the economics have to work as well.

Sure but gotta admit, not having Canada while having Guatemala is an absolute joke.

If you look at the Sprint user base here in NJ and surrounding states it probably makes more sense.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
    • Same with factory unlocked
    • June security update is out (S22U TMO)
