Sprint DAS at CES today.. Pretty good.

I didn't speed test today, but was really pleased with the speedy service deep in the convention center. That's a first for me on Sprint in an area with so many people.

No, it's not correct. DSL reports has shotty reporting.

The 50% off offer is being extended another 30 days. I wonder how successful this promo has been...

Very successful, when I swapped back to Sprint from AT&T at the first of December I got at the Sprint store around 3PM it was quiet.  About thirty minutes into getting my lines ported back to Sprint it was like David Beckham and his posse came breaking in the door and they stayed slammed until closing time.  They were even accepting Cricket and GoPhone prepaid lines for the half off deal putting them in the AT&T boat. 

 

Sprint is making waves with this deal.

Even my corporate Sprint store was packed and Sprint can barely load a web page in the area. I guess people care more about the savings than anything else.

Shoddy reporting is dangerous.

 

But really watch out for "shotty" reporting.  That scattershot can hit you far and wide.

Cat is out the bag on why Tmobile decided to share their updated number's early, I think they just wanted to rain on Sprint's party ahead of Tarek Robbiati's talk this afternoon.

 

Quote from the article..

 

"T-Mobile released the numbers ahead of presentations by some of its executives at an industry conference in Las Vegas. Sprint also may have grown during the quarter, and T-Mobile executives said as much during their presentations, according to one report. They said that gains were “coming primarily” from AT&T and Verizon and that they expect “Sprint to put up decent subscriber growth numbers” from the fourth quarter, said Jennifer Fritzsche, an analyst at Wells Fargo Securities, in her report to clients on the T-Mobile presentations."

Gotta make sure Sprint doesn't get too much praise and over shadow T-Mobile.

It seems that Sprint's investment in the DAS there was well worth it.

And just a word of caution. This is an investment bank sponsored forum moderated by an investment bank analyst. Sometimes good information comes out of these. Often it does not.

 

I don't think it'll be any different than Sprint's usual hosted Earnings Calls with analysts on the phone asking questions.

 

Lots of info seemed to come from the session with T-Mobile yesterday: Reddit Link

Sprint's currently at 58.6M customers, as of Q3 2015.  I wonder if they hit 60M by the end of 2015.  Some quarters, Sprint has pulled over 1M customers.  I wonder how well they did this time.  We may find that out today, but more than likely, it'll be announced at the next quarterly earnings call.

Hence the intent of my disclaimer. People get excited about the earning calls as well. The slight difference here over an earnings call is that in an earnings call an analyst typically gets to ask 1 or 2 questions at the most. Here one analyst gets to ask multiple questions and follow up, etc. Sometimes these situations lend themselves to equipment and deployment strategy updates, but often they do not. Given the importance of NGN, I wouldn't be surprised to see it come up. That said, I'd expect a lot more focus on cost-cutting measures and details on the leasing vehicles they've been setting up.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
