What did he talk about?

Typical Legere childishness. How he kicked Marcelo's ass on Twitter, that Marcelo flew to Japan to get yelled at, nobody cares about David Beckham, Marcelo had such a bad week that he must have gotten drunk when he decided to tweet, if Marcelo speaks out against the uncarrier again that he'll smack him down, John is launching something super duper awesome next week, yadda yadda yadda. Usual grade school level crap that the lemmings tend to eat up. As I've said before, if nothing else he's definitely adept at cultivating sycophants.

 

Btw is "You mad bro?" still considered clever? Maybe two years ago I'd tend to think...

One thing is for sure with bullies - they don't like it when the victims fight back.

 

Legere's jimmy was at maximum rustle with that call-out.

Smh. I think john is in his feeling right now. But really all Marcelo needs to say is at least my parent company is investing in us...oh and good luck at the auction.

 

When I think about it I don't think this uncarrier thing was suppose to go on this long because T-Mobile was suppose to be bought out by now. But also this uncarrier thing digging a hole. Yes it's attracting customers but as it stands their network can barely handle its customers. I don't even hear T-Mobile saying they have more spectrum per customer anymore.

And that's all there is but can numbers go for much besides on the surface? Honestly I hope john gets #3 that way it can be put to rest.

What Marcelo should have said.

 

Oh, and if Marcelo wants to start a hashtag, I suggest #ReCarrier.

 

If anything Jump On Demand is ReCarrier 1.0.

I'm leasing my M9...$20/month lease with a $19 loyalty credit means it's $1/month. HTC gives you "Uh-Oh" protection for a year. I have a case and putting a glass screen protector on it to prevent major issues. My M7 was the first phone I've broken and that's mostly because I kept it nekkid.

 

In two years I'll have paid $24 for the phone and then I'll look at something new.

 

I'm also seriously considering taking the last 2 GS3's on my account and leasing GS5s for free with loyalty credits. That'd put me close to having all 4 devices within a few months of each other.

Where do you get such a loyalty credit?

But you are on a legacy plan, correct?

Framily. I left my ED1500 plan a while ago because I needed the unlimited talk. I don't need it anymore :(

 

I've got a maxed out framily, though. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Put it to rest? That's a good one he is going to have a field day if Sprint become #4.

He'll redefine "spiking the football" if T-Mobile overtakes Sprint.

He will but in the end people will feel less sorry for their shortcomings and John will have no choice but to put his big boy pants on and figure it out just "dumb and dumber" does.

I did watch the Legere periscope - I see it as "jockeying for position" if a merger comes up. He clearly wants to be the leader of any merger if it were to happen in the future. It's all political here.

Interesting counter point to my view that we need four major national carriers. 

 

 

I think he is spot on

 

I think there's a big logical fallacy in there.

 

Most of the things he's asking for are great (Resolution of Dish, More Home Fiber Service, Hybrid Fixed Mobile services). But then he's promoting another cellular merger -- he's promoting the one action that's guaranteed to get less of all of those other requests. 

 

At least with 4 players, there's still some level of competition in wireless today. When Wireless calms down, that competition could spill over into wireline. (We've seen that start to happen before with Clearwire's home internet service, and Dish's fixed wireless attempts).  

 

With only 3 in wireless, there will be no competition in wireless *and* still no competition in wireline *and* no incentive for that to ever change.

I actually agreed with Fabian's points in the comments more than the article write up. He quickly snaps it back to reality.

 

I do agree with the writer's assessment of DISH. Sh!t or get off the pot, man! No more waiting on the sidelines. But eventually the clock will run out on him with build out timelines.

 

I don't think it's all gloom and doom if Sprint and Tmo combine or join forces. However, at this point, I still contend it's better we have four.

I used to be on the side of the four carriers but the lack of profits for sprint and T-Mobile has convinced me that we should have 3. 80 percent of the industries profits are controlled by the big two if this continues we will have three carrier regardless of what regulators want.

    • Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!
    • That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.
    • 417.55 MB September security update just downloaded here for S24+ unlocked   Edit:  after Sept security update install, checked and found a 13MB GP System update as well.  Still showing August 1st there however. 
    • T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.  
    • Still nothing for my AT&T and Visible phones.
