Jeffrey_J Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Maybe but not likely. ... That would leave a remaining 500 MHz for guard bands, which would have to be divided six ways. Probably not sufficient guard bands.... AJ AJ, I thought you were better than that you meant kHz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 AJ, I thought you were better than that you meant kHz. I recall writing kHz. Another staff member may have pranked me. We do have fun behind the scenes. Or maybe my thoughts and words were out of sync. Either way, the error has been fixed. Thanks...

kct1975 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Whatever the technical name is, it will be called "5G" by at least one carrier at some point regardless of technical accuracy. Or maybe even 6G like Microsoft going from Windows 8 to 10 (yeah I know there were technical reasons for it but it's still kinda funny).Completely agree! Whatever technology it is, the term 5G will be a lot easier to remember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you mention carrier aggregation to everyday people, though? Just say that "we doubled your bandwidth" (for select devices in select markets)?

Those things aren't usually kept hush hush. But yeah, Sprint hasn't done a great job at these types of events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrph Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I think because it has the hashtag AllIn it may have to do something with some sort of a plan with a phone included. But Sprint already has something like this correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arysyn Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm not very informed about how Twitter works. I don't have a Twitter and rarely ever look at Twitter, but am I seeing that Verizon is using Sprint's Twitter account to gain a customer, the Twitter account replying there called "VZWsupport"?

Seems to be working well for T-Mobile. But on the other hand, seems silly considering the recent comments about raising unlimited pricing and/or doing away with it.

I am fine with the price I pay and would be more interested in network news.I don't see them lowering prices any further since the network is in a way better position. Those days are over in my opinion. I'm thinking this plan may have more to offer within its price point.

Not in reality, but maybe in memory. Sprint will have to start taking a hard look at accounts that still have sweetheart "unlimited" data deals, such as SERO and Everything Data. It could be done on a case by case basis. Any accounts that are using "unlimited" data significantly above the average should be allowed no further subsidized upgrades or even forced to switch plans.

AJ They could also just force a plan switch if activating a newer device at some point in time, subsidized or not.
