I dont mind freebies at face value. But the obfuscation it will cause towards competitive data pricing is awful. If all data were treated equally, we should see data buckets slowly grow larger and larger as time progresses. But with this garbage, I expect to see bucket pricing remain stagnant if not go backwards. Verizon will be the first to back what you can get for $100 down from 18GB to 10 GB with "as much Go90 as you can handle!"

Of all the pricing/data allotment predictions I've seen on this site, this one probably holds the most water. Part because similar scenarios have already played out in other countries. For example in Mexico, data bucket sizes have stayed the same even though the demand for data and prices have gone up. Part of the reason is that companies have gone and made services such as Twitter, Facebook, and Spotify truly unlimited, while everything else being counted towards your allowance. Unfortunately, I do see the same thing happening here in the U.S.

 

T-Mobile may claim that this concept of giving certain services on an unlimited basis is their idea, but the truth is that they stole it from Latin American and European companies and they are breaking net neutrality laws. All internet traffic is not being treated equally.

This is the kind of B.S the T-Mobile community has.

 

Band 12 seems to fix speed issues and upgrading your phone will fix things!

 

 

It really does seem that way with these Magentans and their talk of band 12 ike it is some blessed holy spectrum band that will be the cure of the network's problems. Just as John Legere is the savior of wireless, band 12 is the savior of networks, where all connectivity issues of PCS and AWS will be resolved by band 12. Completely disregarding the fact that it is a separate band from the others and so far works independently on its own, at least for now until T-Mobile does some carrier aggregation.

Since when did this become the T-mobile thread?

 

At over 10,000 posts, this thread can be almost anything it wants to be.

That's the type of deflection that's not even trying. Not a single one of those post addresses the issue at hand, either. And although no one should really take upvotes or downvotes seriously and emotionally as some of them do, it is ironic how they gang up and do just that to show their support for deflective, noncontributing nonsense. 

 

So yeah, low-band is only good when it's branded, apparently. AT&T, Verizon and Sprint's low-band is crap, but theirs is a speed supplement worth getting a new phone over.

The Uncarrier Holiday Choir (The "Unchoir"), featuring Magentans and of course, their beloved, St. John...

 

The Magentan T-abernacle Choir?

The Magentan T-abernacle Choir?

I was reading the comments on the YouTube video page of the video I linked here,and while I hadn't seen any comments regarding John as running a professional choir here, some commenters mentioned Trump, one saying John would make a better presidential candidate than Trump, which had me wondering if John Legere might one day run for presidency. At this point, I wouldn't doubt he eventually might, perhaps in 2020. He'll have to get more political though, in order to gain mass voter interest, though perhaps it could be done, I suppose. Particularly as he does have a lot of supporters.

Would rather have Kanye running for president than this clown named John

 

Who know what'll John do? Un-Nation programs? JUMP! on insurance?

Strange. I posted the video link in the T-Mobile thread, which AJ's response to my post also was there too, but now somehow got on the Marcelo thread. I say strange because I doubt the staff would have moved these posts here to this thread, since its T-Mobile-related. I wrote to Robert about this, as I hope if its a technical issue it could be fixed.

 

Anyways, John Legere as president while it sounds bad, I've got to admit it sounds better than many other potential presidential candidates. Imagine terms like the Un-senate and the Un-lobbyist popping up in political terminologies under a Legere administration. I wonder what the FCC would be like then.

They've been in this thread the whole time. It's easy to mix up threads if you're posting mobile.

Well, I'm sure speeds are less than great on non-Spark phones, on non B4 Verizon phones, and non B2 PCS LTE phones on AT&T. This is the nature of the beast. To get the best speeds and coverage, upgrade your phone.

 

So, technically, the Magentans aren't wrong here.

I think T-Mobile is aggregating B4 and B12 in NY. At least that is true from some of the engineering screens Milan put up on Reddit a while back.

New York, Seattle.  Milan, Legere.  Who cares about anywhere or anyone else?  We all should move to where T-Mobile does its best.  We should be like them.  If not, that is our fault.

I'm not sure that they do it anymore ever since they moved to 20x20 in NYC.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
