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

Not contiguous. SF is one example. There's a spectrum squatter (owned by AT&T) right in the middle of their allocations in the city. They can do at most 2 contiguous carriers. Once you get further out you start to see 3 carriers.

So band 41 can only be aggregated on contiguous carriers? I always thought a large advantage of CA was that you could aggregate non-contiguous slices of spectrum.

 The Tijuana border with the USA. I’m going to be taking a trip into the desert there near the Tijuana border crossing.

I'm in San Diego and from the looks of that Monthly Report on entities still needing to move off the SMR spectrum, Region 5 including the Tijuana border area has a long time to wait. FOURTEEN entities still have yet to move their operations. Incredible.

Has anyone seen Boost Mobile's Ultimate Unlimited plan? It costs $80/month (taxes and fees included), comes with free Tidal Premium, and 40GB of mobile hotspot data.

Why Sprint doesn’t include taxes and fees or even give 40gb mobile hotspot on its unlimited plus plan is beyond me.

For a family of 4 it drops down to $65/line which isn't bad at all.
That's $260 on a prepaid plan .. Sprint can't even get a ton of people to switch to postpaid plans.. pre paid was meant to be a lower cost option with less feature .. now Sprint prepaid look like postpaid plans

You can get a lower cost plan with less features though, that option hasn't gone anywhere. This is just their most feature packed plan and for $65 per person, it's insanely good.

Yup, that's is more attractive then what they have on their post paid imo.. in other words they should be offering this on their post paid plans tax's and fees included and their Kickstarter plans on pre paid no the other way around imo

Good point.

We’re still on Unlimited Freedom because we don’t use much Hotspot at all and switching to Unlimited Plus to get Free Tidal would actually cost us more than we’re paying now.

We’re on the original Corporate Discount scheme of $5/Month off per line (we have 7 Lines) and I’m afraid that if we switch plans we’ll lose it. So we’re keeping what we have. I’d rather have the Apple Music Family Plan ($14.99/Month for 6 Users) to be honest, but we haven’t bothered getting it yet. YouTube works fine.

No mimi-macros visble there. Looks like that site hasn't been updated yet.

That's a big blow for most!

That's debatable. Anecdotally, in the past 3 years I've used 0MB of domestic roaming and I'm certain most of Boost Mobile's user base lives within urban areas given that's who they marketed to both historically and currently.

Debatable for some, not for me and probably most.

Not for band 41. It has to be contiguous for most handsets. I think the current Samsung flagships can do non-contiguous B41 CA though (any device that can do 4xCA B41 can do non-contig, and I'm pretty sure those handsets support 4xCA), so it's coming.

      https://www.lightreading.com/6g/5g-advanced-arrives-with-3gpp-s-release-18 Wonder how long until T-Mobile moves on this? My guess is some by the Galaxy S25 in January or February.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.
