To what part of the bill is the employer discount applied to on these unlimited plans?

 

This new plan is non-discountable.

Unlimited My Way has the discount applied to the Data portion only.

Everything Data has the discount applied to the entire price, if I recall correctly....

If no one else gets around to it, I'll show my math later but...

 

Switching to the new $150 UL plan from my ED1500 with 4 lines and new phones would cost me aprox $300 more over the next 2 year cycle. 

 

I used the current pricing on the LG G4 for the comparison and I currently have a 23% discount. Your milage may vary.

So I notice on the announcement it said that it included sprint global roaming. Does this mean if I switched to this plan I can't use open world. Even though I had to reset my iPhone to get it working and then do it again when I got back to the states, once it was working it was pretty awesome to have access to 3G service while traveling abroad. Thanks

My interpretation is that it's enabled by default, whereas when it was initially announced you had to manually add it to your plan.

 

I doubt this would prevent you from removing it to add open world, but I could be wrong... Or they may change open world to be stackable with global roaming (ie not have to remove it first).

 

For what it's worth, I haven't been able to log into Sprint for the last hour. I keep getting bad gateway saying that the proxy received an invalid response from an upstream server. Site upgrades I'm guessing... But you'd think they'd do this at night like most companies...

Are you using Firefox? I have that problem all the time.

I think one thing is going unnoticed with this new pricing.  The price for 1 line is going up again to $75 from $70.

Yep, according to their website, the price for a single unlimited plan is now $75

My question is how do we really know?

Sprint confirms they are the fastest? Tmo confirms they are the fastest......

Tmo was 38 how was sprints 23 and Tmo last?

Tmo barely edged out sprint in their test and now Tmo is last?

Makes u go hmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Good for sprint, wouldn't surprise me if vzw and att find Data to suggest they were the fastest

Who cares. The point is they provided usable service. If they are both claiming, it must mean: one, that it is close and two they are using different measures.

Marcelo tweeted Sprint average speed nationwide for the past 14 days is 20MB highest among the 4 carriers and 40 MB in Florida! Hopefully part of these claims are true.

I saw this as well. If it is 100 % true.. it would be very impressive!

Don't know if this was posted before, but here is the link to the Superbowl DAS results Marcelo tweeted.

i think portion speaks louder...   Sprint users passed the least amount data.  compared to the big two, huge difference.  the sprint network should have been faster by 3x

Probably in areas where only Sprint offers B41. Similarly like how Sprint said they're the fastest nationwide from Nelson studies.

agreed

 

but neither are the speed claims... 

 

 

it would be better leveraged if we knew how many devices connected by each carrier.  (maybe even brown down by cluster... maybe more Sprint users in one portion of the arena?)... along with a breakdown of hourly usage -- over played with the throughput and speed logs from above.
