lilotimz Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Oh the roaming agreement with the smaller carriers. Will that be considered native coverage or roaming? Sent from my iPhone 6+ There will be off network roaming and there will be pseudo native coverage depending on the roaming agreement the partner carriers signed. We have additional information on such relationships that will be written and published as we get things clarified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just also checked out that link about it and the coverage map will look identical to Verizon and AT&T. Sent from my iPhone 6+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

payturr Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Identical? No. AJ Will it look good? Yes. I just want more band 26 to cover the holes right now, I can wait for RRPP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkyeager Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Does sprint have any plans of expanding their footprint past what they already have now? Sent from my iPhone 6+ Montana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danlodish345 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 AT&T is very slow here...t mobile wipes the floor with AT&T and Verizon ....sprint is improving so it looks like they will improve against the duopoly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForce627 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 So I pulled my phone out today and noticed I was on band 2. I decided to run a speed test, started off mid 30s then jumped to 51mbps. My phone still read band 2. Att must be aggregating band 2 & 17. Also would signal check ever display both bands if I'm using an aggregated data session? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe AT&T band 2 is capable of reaching 51Mbit/s without aggregating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the area it can be good. Midtown at 23rd street it's absolute garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nexus 6, for example, supports carrier aggregation with only band 2 or band 4 as the PCC. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengen31 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 AT&T is still not a bad network, they are still not done with LTE deployment, sometimes there 3G "HSPA +" is faster then there LTE. I have friends who have T-mobile and they still get 2G EDGE out side city limits LOL and I think I remember seeing somewhere saying T-mobile will have LTE on ALL there 2G EDGE sites by the end of 2014, its almost the end of 2014.... I maybe I didnt read that right or I might be wrong. Regardless ALL the carriers have there good and bad spots, no one carrier is THE BEST and PERFECT, Just saying!! its actually 2G to LTE by the end of 2015 not 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrph Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I wouldn't say they are slow. From the month that I had them I was between 11 and 20mbps which was more than what I needed. But I would say they have a consistent experience across the board from my time with them. I wonder how much has changed since the last time I had them more than a year ago. I might go pick up a go phone sim since they have unlimited data but slowed after a certain gb. I wonder if they will have that same policy here soon on post paid accounts on the higher data plans I think that'll be cool.

joshnys8913 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 its actually 2G to LTE by the end of 2015 not 2014 NO at FIRST Legree did say by the end of year in one of his uncarrier moves (in early 2015), but then he said end of 2015. It came from his mouth not mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosefTor Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The actual statement for people who just like to guess is "50% of 2G will be LTE by the end of 2014 and the rest by mid 2015" . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randamin Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 With all these mobile share value plans, double data promos, and rollover data, existing subscribers are being encouraged to use more data. My market was also a former cricKet CDMA area so those are also jumping into the network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
