nexgencpu Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Metro is legit where I live. Band 12 and a 20x20 band 4 is a hell of a combo. I had a friend that I recommend to sprint and he seen how much slower it was. 6 days later he was back on Metro. I was mad because I wanted referral money. This month I converted 3 of my friends to Sprint. 9 lines in total but I only recommend them because Sprint has good rural coverage in Florida and those areas Sprint LTE is not congested.

This makes boost more attractive Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk I think the average person rarely goes over 6 or 7GB, so having 4GB "high speed" might suffice for alot folks. But on occasion I've run into folks who mention their internet is super slow because they haven't paid their bill...LOL! Come to find out they are on MetroPCS. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnner1999 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Really? $70 for a plan that, in the bigger picture, shouldn't exist anyways, is too much? Frankly it should cost much more than 70 bucks when you consider what it is. It's still the cheapest unlimited plan on the market, and good luck getting a better deal on a different carrier. -Anthony For a top tier provider yes. For Sprint not sure...

Johnner1999 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yeah, but then you have to be on Metro..LOLMany could say the same for Sprint. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony.spina97 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Metro has $50 unlimited. And Metro is prepaid. You're not going to find a postpaid provider cheaper than $70 for unlimited everything. -Anthony 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I rather give me money to the duopoly :-) or rather Sprint rather I do that! I try sprint every 4-6 months or so. And its always the same disappointment. I have two new phones here now waiting to go back to the Sprint Shack. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cortney Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 This is what happens when VZW is severely overloaded, though. Where I live has no band 4. They could use that extra capacity if for no other reason to ease burden off the network. There's too many users here fighting for capacity at the edge of the cell. And VZW hasn't made an effort to at least densify in your area? How long has it been overloaded? VZW users I know think it's normal and their "phone is acting up". The best is "we don't get data here". A Sprint or AT&T user can pull out their phone and laugh. And hell, even close enough to highways or random main roads and outside of the wrong buildings so can a T-Mobile user half the time. But, whatever VZW does is ok. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnicekid Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Sprint is getting better on the forgotten part of mass. But still lagging behind the other 3 from my experience in western mass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of those are informal fallacies. But neither is the deliberate flaw in my argument. Keep trying... AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Begging the question" -- oft misused and misunderstood in everyday parlance as "that begs the question" -- is another term for circular reasoning. Nice call.
