If that's NoVA where Trip's profile says he is then Verizon fiber is a plenty over there. I'm sure they just ran a strand of fiber from the nearest terminal to the building for it. 

 

I did link to the City of Alexandria building permit site. ;)

I just noticed that HD is not appearing when I call Sprint phones. Like when I talk to gf it would show HD now it doesn't. Her phone is the S7.

What do I check?

You have to disable it on the Sprint webportal, disabling it device level is not enough. It's a limitation with Sprint not the device itself.

Argh. It was working few days back. It's always something....

Where were you? Tukee is my part of the woods. :)

 

 

That was in Chandler mall. It is the first sign of a mini macro I have seen in the valley. Speeds were above 60 mbs.

Oh. Yeah, Chandler mall had them for a while now. Inside the mall is covered solid.

Who wants to post a comment and set Ms. Reardon straight on speed caps versus usage caps, e.g. gaming and music "mbps of usage"?

CNET has become worse than Consumer Reports in many ways. They both are very dumbed down regarding technology and are there for those uneducated consumers who don't really want to take the time to properly learn about their purchases. So I'm not too surprised by this article being written as it is.

Here is an article explaining the different plans from the various carriers :

Lately with the discussion on S4GRU regarding data abuse has me rethinking my very long time support of speed capped plans. I'm now more supportive of scrapping unlimited data in favor of low per gb rates after an initial set bucket of data, similarly to what I preferred prior to speed caps that I no longer believe really can be successful or even appropriate for anything, except perhaps as an overage option.

 

If a non-unlimited plan or promotion were to happen, I would love to see one without carryover data, just a monthly allotment - in order to keep the per gb data rates less expensive. :

 

Taxes included. 30gb monthly full-speed data allotment with HD a/v streaming and tethering included for $55 monthly per line with autopay, $60 monthly per line without autopay. Instead of deprioritization, there would be options to add additional data for $1 per gb for full-speed data, or unlimited data for the remainder of the month speedcapped at 3mbps for $15 monthly per line.

Its been so long that I had to think about this up here, but are sites that are recently band 25 enabled (GMOs) broadcasting at full power from the get go or do they still need to go back and optimize power levels so they leave them running at 80% or less of full power level?

 

Fwiw, the one GMO site most important to me went to broadcasting band 25 this past friday...my life is complete.  Drove up to the site to see if I could catch them working but there was no one around.  Interesting that in todays site update there was only a few new complete sites in maine as I know there is much much more with LTE complete these days.

Source info is often incomplete and inconsistent anymore. If there are sites you are certain are broadcasting in your area, you can message them to me and I can include them. Thanks! :)

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
