Marcelo lets action speak in regards to root metrics scores. "I think Legere is in for a rude awakening when new scores come out about network performance," We all know this was bound to happen, and I think this year we will see much better scores.

 

"Legere, however, dismissed Claure's comments and called the Root Metrics data outdated."

 

Ohhh boy, Johnny's scared.

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

If I remember correctly I think a lot of the Ericsson bashing came from Digiblur. Which was a long time ago...

 

Who is this digiblur person?

New plans

 

That's not to say Sprint is giving up. Claure said he plans to launch a new set of pricing plans as soon as April based on the customer research it is conducting. That could include the ability to roll over data, which T-Mobile and AT&T offer, pricing tweaks to its unlimited plans, a cheaper plan for people who want less data and other options. He said the plans will fall under a more simplified pricing strategy.

Lol, isn't he the one that keeps posting the results all over the place on twitter when they win certain categories?

Why is John saying Root is not important? I guess its not giving him results he wants and because of that its not relevant. I guess if he was dominating the results he would throw it in everyones face. From the results T-Mobile is not too reliable all around and all it really has is fast data but even thats debatable compared to Verizon. 

 

But I am glad that Marcelo set the record straight that he could care less if Sprint is 3 or 4 but he is putting people on notice that Sprint will have a very comparable network to everyone else in scores.

Verizon confirms sale of wireline assets for $10B to Frontier

http://www.seekingalpha.com/news/2278536

 

FiOS sales in Florida, Texas, and California confirmed. I think it's only a matter of time before Frontier owns all of Verizon's landline business (LOOK OUT NYC PEEPS.)

I don't understand this.

Also, on Ookla data, Verizon is now 1 Mbps ahead of T-Mobile nationally. If I ran VZW social media I'd say "Hey Johnny, you mean the network standards that put us 1 nationally on Root AND Ookla?"

Sorry as I need to clarify. The wireline was a large part of Verizon's business and bottom line. That is what is puzzling about this sale. Yes frontier is bad.

 

Yes but look at their margins. I forgot which of the many margin metrics are which but the wireless is like 5x the wireline.

If vzw does this I wonder if att would sell it's uverse business?

That would free it of having to deal with the coming title 2 issues.

Under the terms of the new agreement, Sprint would effectively operate a store within a RadioShack store, occupying approximately one third of the retail space of each location. Sprint employees will sell mobile devices and plans on all Sprint brands including Boost and Virgin Mobile. The stores will be co-branded with Sprint being the primary brand on storefronts and in marketing materials.

Interesting.

Interesting.

 

So the Radioshack stores will change to Sprint stores as far as the branding on the storefront. Then Sprint will have one wall with their phones and ads and Radioshack's products will have the back and opposite wall?

      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.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
