Where did you get this? Last I had seen estimates were for late summer... this year.

Im pretty confident it will be later this summer. The equipment is already quietly rolling out but not completely active. Signal check randomly gives me b41 3 but it has terrible speeds so i am guessing not active yet. I havent seen any speed increases over CA2 that has been active for months yet. Also in the last few weeks almost every tower in indy has been marked at CAx3 complete on glance (our internal tower database) Its going to be real exciting when they fire it up.

B41^3 on SCP does not indicate 3xCA. For CA enabled devices, it's just the 3rd carrier being live and connected to by UE and subsequently getting kicked off due to 2xCA not being enabled for the 3rd carrier and the device querying for CA.

 

Samsung is just waiting up on Nokia now to get ALU  2.5 equipment and their own Flexi 2.5 equipment ready.

 

Estimated time frame is late summer if everything goes to plan but they've gave themselves leeway til Q1 2017 incase issues pop up.. 

 

Oh and yes. 3xCA is enabled on Samsung sites but off limits to subscribers.

Those ads are very meta and I love them!!! It should really appeal to the millenials who grew up hearing "Do you hear me now?" for nearly a decade. If Sprint could get the T-Mobile woman too they'd have a killer combo. I'm not sure AT&T had a memorable person though.

I applaud the "steal", but the guy still seems cooler even now back when he was on Verizon with the dignified voiceover in exotic locations.  Sprint should do a closer ad copy.

AT&T had Luke Wilson:

 

 

 

These ads didn't go over so well with some.

 

And there was Seth the Blogger Guy for AT&T as well....

I like it, the direct to you one is pretty meh (i like the concept of the program, the commercial is just flat) but the 1% message is great in the others. This is exactly what they need to be doing. Saying they are close but for half the price. Frankly thats why I am with tmo and was with sprint, they were \ are damn close for way less money. Plus they are both finding unique ways to position their products and innovating rather than stagnating like the big two.

Totally Awesome!

 

Great grab of the Can-You-Hear-Me-Now Guy!

 

Really good Commercials!

 

I agree with everyone else, if Marcelo and Sprint pare him with Brian Barker Sprint Guy, that would make for one really killer ad campaign!

I agree. It would be a killer campaign. I hope others send that to Marcelo's attention as well!

Looks like more famous switchers are in the pipeline...

 

Sprint promises more famous switchers will follow Verizon's 'Can you hear me now' guy, Paul Marcarelli

 

Great article and interview. Can't wait to see how this develops!

 

Of course, there's the "T-Mobile Girl": Carly Foulkes

 

That would turn it up to "11".  ;)

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
