Never had luck with roaming on Verizon, was always useless.

I haven't had much issue with roaming on Verizon. Just earlier in November I was roaming on Verizon in Southern Ohio with EVDO and it worked quite well.

So US Cellular is one of those mystery roaming partners? Sprint hasn't said anything about LTE roaming since May 2015...

Hoping things are still in motion with this.

That's awesome. US Cellular roaming for Sprint customers will be great. The coverage maps don't depict US Cellular coverage in western Maryland yet.

I noticed in the 2nd half rootmetrics reports, in a few metro areas, att and tmobile's speed decrease significantly.  Is it because of congestion or because they are upgrading their networks? It looks like verizon is holding up well.

US cellular 3G roaming has been available to Sprint customers for a few months now. It's just regular roaming.

That's debatable. As I posted in another thread over the holidays I traveled in eastern and Northern Iowa and when I was connected to US Cellular my phone had no roaming indication of any kind. It looked native by all indications on the phone except when I looked at Signal Check Pro.

Did the data used in those areas show up as roaming on your account?

This is why the magentan religion won't be broken. Dude gives tmobile a pass, gets great service with Sprint and he still left them.

 

I think we have our undisputed winner for T-Mobile network congestion.  That is, unless someone magically can produce a 0 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up speed test.

Some insight into the scale of Sprint's small cell deployment plans was published in an article on RCR Wireless today

Just Sprint alone, in New York City, wants over 2,000 new small cells in an 18-month period,

Nice ping, too.  ;)

 

 

I wonder what we'll start to see in the next couple months as their unlimited gift starts to give.

It'd be different if T-Mobile wasn't maxed out for spectrum already in many markets. This is gonna hurt.

You just to stand back - this could really be an unbonded pair backhaul issue.  Where the fiber run to the tower has become....  OH FRACK I can't spin this --- honestly its bad.     I was talking to an old coworker who poops magenta and he has noticed download issues over the past couple days as well.   I think Binge On came out too soon (if it ever should have seen the light of day).....

I've had pretty good luck with roaming on Verizon in my market. I don't run a custom PRL anymore so it's only 1x data but it usually works fine for browsing/navigation and calls/text work well. If Sprint ditched in market roaming, I likely wouldn't be a customer anymore. I don't roam very often, but I don't want to be stuck without service when it could be available.

According to this Milan guy it is an issue with oakla servers and no tmobile.

We're covering this on the T-Mobile thread.

At least they'll be able to report it since the T-Mobile App is apparently gaining an issue reporting feature.

That's one feature which I really like about Sprint Zone.

I think it does. It has a network reporting function built in and has had one for a while

Yes. As you showed here, the Sprint Zone App has this feature.
