kg4icg Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I wouldn't expect it to be like the effects between Google and Microsoft where they send each other stuff especially cakes and they actually enjoy it. Of course they are telling each other about bugs in the operating systems and Software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrph Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Ya know... things like this is why I love the topics of business and marketing. Look at how great, somewhat trolling and evil, but all around awesome this is. When you're a bit creative, you can throw shade in so many ways! So much win!

JeffDTD Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I could have done without the "heres our job postings" bit considering Sprint's need to shed employees. It may not represent retail staff reductions, but its a sore subject for most longterm sprint employees im sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kct1975 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Can't believe T-Mobile brass instructed employees to *throw away the baskets,* snacks and all. Total grinch move. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Exactly! At the very least, they should have quietly donated the food items to a local food bank or something. Instead, they just look like over reacting tools.That would have been an excellent idea, and a great PR move for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascertion Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Sprint scores first place in Wichita, KS. http://www.rootmetrics.com/us/rsr/wichita-ks/2015/2H Very good. Since our testing in March, Sprint’s median download speed increased from 12.5 Mbps to 24.4 Mbps, and Sprint’s median upload speed increased from 6.3 Mbps to 9.0 Mbps. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes to show you how miserable and nasty they all are. Any normal person would have thrown the basket and cards away and laughed it off eating free treats. Another shining example of what kind of people support T-Mobile. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraydog Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Well, I had one person tell me Root was completely corrupt today. Flawed testing? Yeah. Corrupt? No, I'm not going to link to it. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet most people could guess who was discrediting Root.Well, I took some shots at Ookla taking data away from consumers. I suspect Comcast may have had an influence on that. But I have no hard evidence. Saying Root is taking money to alter testing... I would think there should be hard evidence for that, right?

Paynefanbro Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Two things: 1. Sprint has the highest download speeds and is once again hampered by the upload. 2. T-Mobile's call block rate is an insane 2%! Those are levels you see in the UK RootMetrics testing. 2a. Speaking of which, it seems like US networks are better on average in nearly every department according to RootMetrics. The only metric where it might not be true is in data speeds. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraydog Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Isn't it kind of ironic that Verizon is buying ads on Ookla to tell the world how good they are on RootMetrics? After all, if Ookla was so superior, why would they be doing that? [emoji6] Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utiz4321 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 What I don't get is that if you look at call reliability a .7 percent differences gives vzw the one spot over sprint but a .9 percent difference between sprint and att has them tied for second.

RootMetrics still doesn't test VoLTE, and many armchair experts claim that VoLTE will reduce those stats. Hopefully next cycle will include VoLTE testing so we can see whether VoLTE is truly better or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pertains to the standard deviation or margin of error. Basically, the longer the H shaped figure, the greater the variation within the result. And that is a reason why two results that are very close in numbers may still lead to different rankings. AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the big 3 triopolists pay you (and RootMetrics) to say that? The bestest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
