Seems that was quoted over in FierceWireless comments. I'm curious to know who the heck is Salty Robert?

Just another one of the random Cult of Legere cowards.

[Steve Dean]

Wait, What? a positive mention of Sprint by Moffett. I...  I... just...   can't...

 

Hey, there are several AED's in our office if you need one.

John is up for the day. He's on Twitter doing what he does best. He's trashing the results. I did however find this funny.

 

 

I think John should be more concerned with all this backlash he's getting for this new $20 "assistance fee"

Some serious e-peen measuring contest going on by both sides.

 

It's borderline creepy how some people can live vicariously through a wireless carrier,

John C. B. Saw - Chief Technology Officer

Hey, Jennifer. Just as a background, 74% of our postpaid sales in the quarter was CA capable, so there has been a rapid improvement and increase in CA capable phones. In terms of 3CA phones, we have five today that support three channel carrier aggregation including the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the GS7 Edge. Three more we haven't really announced yet, but we will be doing some demos around that. So, the array of devices supporting CA is going to continue to increase and we expect to be rolling out upgrades to the network to support three channel carrier aggregation in a couple of months.

So many flavors, and he chose to be salty.

like I said before, I have a feeling the G5 might be part of that list. And maybe the axon 7

The LG G5 doesn't support 3xCA: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-409-teaser-lifes-good-with-volte/

 

The LG G5 LS992 is not 3x CA B41 capable -- unlike the Sprint variants of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. 

[NYC126]

Galaxy 7, galaxy edge, Note 7,IPhone 7,HTC10.

 

Also he said 3x will go live within the next two months which would hit the target in September with the launch of the iPhone.

This includes bringing LTE Plus to even more markets and further unlocking the power of our deep spectrum position. Sprint has more spectrum deployed on LTE per consumer than any other carrier today. And no other company has the spectrum to unlock the power of carrier aggregation like Sprint does. We're already rolling out devices in the market that supports three channel carrier aggregation that are expected to deliver big speeds in excess of 200 megabits per second when we were allowed three channel carrier aggregation in the network expected as early as – early 2017.

So today my service has been acting very strange. On speed test I am getting between 30- 50 mbs down, but when I try to run YouTube it either fails to load, buffers constantly and/or takes forever to load. I switch to Wi-Fi and YouTube runs fine. I did just update the app today but this is not a good experience.

I'm having the same issue as well that and my pic messages via iMessage failing to send.

He's sticking to the script. This is what they have been saying.  If they can beat this deadline then all is better on Sprint. In the meantime, get those permits approved already!

[laqn1283]

I wish they would talk more about densification or at least analysts had questions about it.  But none was mentioned!

[NYC126]

Seems we have a meltdowns at fiercewireless, and now these morons are attacking Robert character. They are so angry and pissed that they can't infiltrate this place. I know maximum and Fabian_Cortez are the ones behind all those guests accounts.

[RedSpark]

The first "Paul" commercial was really successful.

 

Marcelo said in the call today:

 

 

I have discussed previously how perception has lagged reality on both accounts, and we're starting to break through with one of the most successful marketing campaigns in Sprint's history. As I mentioned earlier, all networks are good today, so it was time to make that point clear.

 

With the help of Paul Marcarelli, the actor who used to ask if you could hear me now for Verizon, will launch an advertising campaign to highlight the fact that networks today aren't that different so customers shouldn't have to pay more. The campaign has been one of the most successful in company's history with over 1 billion impressions already, as the ad has been viewed over 8 million times on YouTube, with nearly 300 million impressions on social media and close to 100 million impressions on broadcast media.

It's nice they still consider me a threat even though I haven't even written an article in a year and haven't even been out promoting Sprint the past 365 days, either.

I doubt that will get much atten from Sprint this year... 

[IamMrFamous07]

I'm late and catching up now....any news on NGN? And sprint reported a 173k net add which is good but sprint has posted this and I believe more prior to this quarter....what makes this one so good?
