Looks like Sprint still has a pretty bad image problem. http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2017/01/10/americas-most-hated-companies-sprint.html

Yes they do. Most people I tell that I use Sprint usually gives me a weird look and says Sprint suck. Even though Sprint has improved tremendously over the years most people still don't want to give them a chance.

Alot of people still think their data speeds are slow or that buffering happens. Only really problem is coverage which is a deal breaker to some.

I would somewhat disagree. There is still tons of places where Sprint's LTE speeds are flat out terrible. But it is improving and there image is getting better but they still have a long way to go. Root Verizon won like 112 cities and Sprint only took 9.

If speeds are 0.15mbps then that's true. If it's 10-15 more than 50-100 then it's more than acceptable.

I think 10 is a good sweet spot. I know so many places where sub 1mbps is very much real.

Which band is that usually on?

Don't you live in a 10x10 area? How much B41 is around?

 

Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

No they have not lit the Jacksonville Market yet with 10x10 b25. Out of over 40 towers in my county alone (Marion County) only my home tower has b41 equipment. Everywhere else is 5x5 b25/b26. Lots of other places similar. Thats the point I'm making.

I believe Jacksonville was a place where a spectrum swap happened with either T-Mobile or VZW. I'm not sure on the status of thos. I'm really surprised the doesn't have B41.

The market has some band 41 but very few towers are upgraded. Orlando and Miami markets recieved all of the attention last year. Im hoping Tampa, Jacksonville and the panhandle get it this year.

I was in the Merritt island a couple weekends ago. All B25 10x10, no b41.  Speeds were more than usable. Hope jacksonville will get b25 10x10 at least by midyear.

I'll be in Florida I'm April. So I'll get to see how things are. I've never been anywhere with 10x10.

In Florida only the Orlando market has a 10x10

The update should have started rolling out last night.

Sprint claims my phone (HTC A9) supports it, so fingers crossed.

This look like 3xCA? I forget if it used to have 2 SCC sections or not.

It's that a HTC or LG device?

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
