caspar347 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 1. Verizon 2. AT&T - but not by too much 3. Sprint 4. T-Mobile. I do not think Sprint's gonna actually overtake AT&T any time soon if ever. But I think the gap is closing pretty fast. From what I can tell at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATT is only starting WCS deployment mid-2015 and they've stopped-ish their small cell deployment; they're outta gas. They'd rather invest in their dividend than their network.

Like I said the gap will close and it wouldn't surprise me to see them almost even in number of wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexgencpu Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Sprint did well here.. Tmobile, not so much http://www.rootmetrics.com/us/rsr/omaha-ne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Nuke Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Sprint did well here.. Tmobile, not so much http://www.rootmetrics.com/us/rsr/omaha-ne T-mobile runs a protection network in Omaha and doesn't sell service here. It is typically their worst market in root metrics testing results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is typically their worst market in root metrics testing results. What's interesting though is that TMO speeds are equal to sprint. If TMO barely has any towers then shouldn't their avg speeds across the blue tested area be away low?

derrph Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Sprint is partnering with streaming music service Tidal. It's owned by Jay-Z and co-owned by 17 other musicians like Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, Jack White and Madonna. I guess this makes Sprint one of the cool kids if not the coolest on the block lol. http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/30/tidal-confirms-partnership-with-sprint-owner-softbank-for-its-artist-co-owned-music-service/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspar347 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I wonder how the Sprint-loathing press would react if Sprint made some serious progress against AT&T in the next national report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Nuke Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 If TMO barely has any towers then shouldn't their avg speeds across the blue tested area be away low? T-mobile is maintaining a "substantial service" network for their PCS C block and AWS spectrum here with pretty much no one using it.They don't sell service to Omaha zipcodes so odds are if you hit a t-mobile tower in Omaha you are likely the only user on it. I have a feeling the distribution of rootmetric's speedtests is across the board for them, because there are wide swaths of the city where you won't get a signal. This is reflected in 1/5 of root metric's calls being dropped in their September tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou99/maximus1987 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Us cell is not coming on the market anytime soon http://www.phonedog.com/2015/03/31/us-cellular-reveals-2015-4g-lte-plans-including-addition-over-600-cell-sites U.S. Cellular says that it will add more than 600 4G LTE cell sites in 2015 and expand existing LTE service in 10 states. The 10 states that’ll see additional U.S. Cellular LTE coverage are California, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia. USCC says that more than 2,000 new cities will get 4G LTE, and that by the end of 2015, 98 percent of U.S. Cellular customers will be covered by its LTE network.

I have the 30 day trial going on and it is really impressive. You can really hear the difference in the sound. I've blown though so much data in a short time but thank goodness for unlimited data. I can't wait to hear the details on the tidal and sprint partnership. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
