I see digi? What's his name is injecting himself into the tweet word war.

And they have coverage in a lot more places because of lowband spectrum.

 

It's not just their low band spectrum. They also added more sites since their EVDO/HSPA network runs off of PCS.

If it's a matter of adding sites to get customers, then there's no excuse.

Speaking of Viaro, Robert stated that their rural network is excellent even in places where they don't have 850mhz.

Hence my point.

 

Tmo junkies defend poor ex-urban coverage by claiming no low band spectrum, but stop short of asking for more sites to be built.

Because no one actually know a just how much more expensive building pcs vs 850mhz is. Robert says 1.5ish.

Momentum!

Sprint goes where no other carrier dares, says net neutrality good for consumers.

 

Rival ISPs’ legal teams will probably pull their hair out when they see what Sprint just did to their arguments against net neutrality. Speaking with Reuters, Sprint CTO Stephen Bye says that not only will the FCC’s net neutrality plan not affect his company’s network investment plans but he also goes so far as to say net neutrality is a positive for Sprint’s customers.

 

“It’s one of those topics that is highly charged, highly politicized and we took a step back and said it works in the interest of our customers, our consumers and the industry and we frankly found some of the arguments (of our competitors) to be less than compelling,” he tells Reuters, and he specifically singles out carriers’ high-pitched screams that they’d stop investing in network upgrades if the FCC reclassified them under Title II.

I like the new Sprint Swagger.

Sad part is if Legere was out there first and not Stephen Bye, people in the tech media would talk of him like he's the Second Coming of Christ.

The member that we dare not speak their name retweeted a screenshot of a T-Mobile speedtest in New Orleans.

I doubt Legere will respond to either the poster or the retweeter..

No that is not Rumple. That's another guy that Neal knows.

Looks like a T-Mobile exec actually did respond asking for location and gave his email address.

 

Hate to say.. That's a better response than Sprint would give (update profile)

Mike Sievert responded. Good for him. Marcelo has also responded to individual complaints as well. Good for him too.

Kind of off topic...

 

But I went to my local mall here (Fox River Mall) and noticed something missing as I was walking past stores... they took out the Sprint kiosk. 

 

While granted, they had a Best Buy Mobile not even 250 feet from it... there were still people there, even on non busy times. So now leaves Best Buy Mobile, U.S. Cellular... and Verizon. And of course you could wander into Target as well.

 

My first and only happy thought to this was, if Sprint "happens" to purchase US Cellular... they'll get a nice kiosk.   

 

I am kinda bummed they took it out... it was in a good location.

I doubt the Carlsons want to sell... It's been addressed before but the fact they were active in AWS-3 indicates a carrier in it for the long haul. In a way Wisconsin is oversaturated as a market with USCC there.

Is there a radio shack nearby that might be converted?

Legere seems to be in a speed competition with himself, to me coverage and reliability is more important and Sprint is delivering on both of those fronts in my market.

 

Is this what T-Mobile customers can expect in a couple of years when their metro-LTE network is saturated?

And it was done with great success by Verizon and AT&T.

In some areas. Where they had to. Not nationwide.

[utiz4321]

Right, but the point is it can be done.

[Fraydog]

I lived in an AT&T 1900 market for a long time. In the more populated areas of Southern Illinois, AT&T worked well. The surrounding rural areas? Not so much. It isn't an issue now with ATNI spectrum in tow. AT&T has a higher band grid and lots of low band here now. It will be interesting to see what the final network product is like on their end here.

More like grey cardigan and burgandy tufted couch. Can't remember the last time I smoked. Thank heaven.

I know... but hey, one can dream!

Actually, there will be one out of 3 locally that will be converted. However, I doubt that's the reason because the corporate store and one other Sprint store is actually about a mile from the mall. The one that will be converted is at least 4 miles away from the mall kiosk that they took down.

 

Unless they're going to one up Verizon and US Cellular and buy one of the four vacant store fronts in the mall! 

 

Again... one can dream.
