There's lots of areas that lack upgrades, thus taking a hit on the network because of the 50% off deal. Tucson Yuma area is one. But I'm just one area. LTE speeds hoover around. .3mbps down.

I called it two days ago. Their plan is to bluff network improvements (small cells cost less and will give use the improvements we need to maintain competitiveness), starve the network (lowering capex) to improve balance sheet (ie pay debt coming due). Short run good ( no default cash positions stay good), long run bad (network starts to have problems again). Markets are forward looking, they know capex is key to sprint maintaining subscriber growth in a way that will grow revenue and free cash flow.

I still see clear conversations, second B25 carrier, 3rd carrier, B26 and small cells going live. Is it going as quickly as everyone would like? probably not. But it's fair to say they are continually upgrading.

I have to tell you all I am near tears right now.  I am so stoked that Marcelo listened to us, directly.  I am sure he listened to all the feedback he heard.  But I believe S4GRU was influential in th

About 30 % of sprint markets have 0 band 41 on running

Yes, upgrades are happening just at a slower pace

Where has the network started deteriorating? Definitely haven't expected that in my area.

plenty of cities where it never got good in the first place. Believe it or not most cities didn't get the love NY did.

I'm not even in NY right now. In fact, I'm not in NY for most of the year. My comment vaguely referred to the northeast corridor from NYC to Boston. I recognize that some areas, namely Eastern CT and western Rhode Island, could use more work though.

The stock market is not truly forward looking, but I agree people are concerned about their long/medium term network road map. They need to be just a little more forthcoming with how it is going, if at all.

Upstate SC including Anderson/Greenville/Spartanburg is taking a major hit with new subs some areas in Anderson LTE on 25/26 bogs during prime usage but I seen people working on towers so hopefully they are upgrading from just only 5mhz width to 10mhz width are finally go up to B41 I mean it's bad a lot of timeouts etc
