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?

Did you or the other party turn on wifi calling?

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....

I'll check that later.

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! :)

    • 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.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
