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

Maybe he's outside of the city limits. He'll tweet as soon as he's back in town with a data connection.

Is anyone else seeing a different Sprint.com website?  It looks totally different, at least on the main page?

 

 

This URL should get you there: http://www.sprint.com/tnt22/index-base.html

Congrats to Sprint for the 360 turnaround in Kansas!!

They obviously didn't factor in the east side of the city very heavily. Makes me wonder about these tests. But this rating is impressive considering that I've heard they haven't finished rolling out B41 in Wichita.

If you can't see the new site, try clearing your browser cache and refresh.

I see the new front page using that link. Very nice! When I sign in though, it's the same old layout and colors, etc as before, even after clearing my browser cache.

Yes, I downgraded. :-D

Nice so far but I'm sure...well I hope that the rest of the website will be converted over the next few days. *crossing fingers for a new map*

There is a map on the report page that shows the testing area. Tests are distributed throughout that area.

No, the RootMetrics methodology is fine.  It may not be perfect, but it is the best available -- more systematic and rigorous than the assessments of any casual wireless users.  And the east side was tested thoroughly and equally just as it should be.  You are just fixating on an area where you have experienced service that you deemed less than satisfactory.

Make no mistake, it is not just me who has these issues. Tower spacing is a big problem for sprint on the east side. It is entirely possible that all the carriers have the same issues though so it didnt hurt sprint as much relative to the other carriers. Perhaps by the end of the year they'll be #1 in wichita?

NE Wichita in particular, especially along the K-96 corridor is mediocre.  But is improving with B26.  Three well placed sites out that way would probably put Sprint as #1, handily.  But this still shows that Sprint is competitive in Wichita, in fact, among the best.  But Sprint customers know every place where it's not good, and focus on them.  

 

I am an AT&T customer, and all the places they are not great drive me nuts.  But I would still believe RootMetrics report on my area about AT&T.  Even if they said they were tied with VZW.

Whats this about free international data roaming? Is that coming to other plans?

 

http://www.sprint.com/landings/unlimited-plus-samsung-galaxy/index.html#!/

 

Supposedly throttled at 2G speeds; specific country list:

  • Argentina
  • Brazil
  • Chile
  • Costa Rica
  • El Salvador
  • Germany
  • Guatemala
  • Japan
  • Mexico
  • Nicaragua
  • Panama
  • Russia
  • South Korea
  • Spain
  • United Kingdom

Hopefully they can broaden the coverage (*cough* Canada) and make this option available on all unlimited plans.

Yeah they're definitely behind TMO on the international thing.

It's not like the countries picked are solely up to Sprint. The foreign careers have to play ball and the economics have to work as well.

Sure but gotta admit, not having Canada while having Guatemala is an absolute joke.

If you look at the Sprint user base here in NJ and surrounding states it probably makes more sense.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
