Its been a long while, unfortunately, since I've added anything to the pot as I did in my heady bachelor days when I sat at #2 behind AJ on the initial Honored Premier donation list prior to moving to PA with higher cost of living and other more personal/private financial burdens post-marriage....but when the head of the S4GRU family says he needs help keeping the ship afloat, if you truly feel a part of that family, you do what you can to step up and help protect it.

 

Donation sent, and though I can't commit to the regular funding level I did once upon a time here, I'm taking AJ's example and for now at least, committing to setting up a small recurring monthly donation as well starting sometime next month (assuming I don't forget - feel free to give me a nudge on that say mid-July Robert).  When you consider AJ's point of view, I think there's easily enough of us here that if we all consistently threw in a few bucks a month as AJ is doing, there should be no issue really with funding.

 

One last thing that I believe I suggested when i first joined, and still firmly believe in:  if there's any way possible to incorporate a visual funding goal gauge/bar say underneath the donation button, I think that would help prompt people that still aren't comfortable with setting up a recurring donation to throw a bit into the pot when it doesn't yet show full for the month.  I've seen this sort of thing on other forums at least.

Robert is better equipped to speak to this than I am, but I will offer my thoughts on funding.   I do think that it will be an ongoing problem.  The Sprint network is working smoothly in so many pla

S4GRU is dangerously low on funds.  We had very generous donations in November/December that have carried us pretty far into this year.  But those reserves have been depleted.  And if we take in donat

Thanks AJ for your clarification.  I think if people rose to the challenge and donated $5-$25 per month on recurring, we would do very well to cover our expenses.  Since most will not rise up and give

Ill do what I can!! I am excited to see what will happen next and make the other 3 get blown by a Sprint #1 network!!!!

Well I mean by network performance, not literately lol 

 

To get blown, or not to get blown, that is the question…

 

Is that what you mean by "literately"?

 

;)

Well I just donated to the site. It's the least I could do. I've been here for a long time and for a while I was the youngest active user on this site (not so much anymore). I've learned so much in my time on this site and am glad to be able to help.

It is to the 40,000+ employees who work there.

Not bashing Sprint or anything negative meant by that comment I wrote.

 

What I meant for it to be a joke that if Sprint were a religion, S4GRU would have plenty of donations coming in like a church.

I know, just saying that most of the employees really are happy to work there. Sprint is a great company to work for, and really doesn't deserve the crap that it gets, all the time.

Good to hear.  I know someone who works in the legal department at Sprint World Headquarters (absolutely beautiful campus).  She says the same thing regarding her employment.

Donation now coming your way! 

 

I am unfortunately having to be a tight-wad with money nowadays. Being a college student and small business owner I have to pinch pennies as much as I can. Especially now as I try to start a fund of my own to make my first "big boy purchase" of a new car. So when I graduate I can afford a brand new Jeep Cherokee Limited and a new 6x12 cargo trailer! 

 

I've had a couple close calls with my 99 Mercury Grand Marquis and I know it won't last forever. And as I use my car as a gear hauler for my business and travel across the state frequently, I want something that can keep up with me.

 

Oh and you know... have fun with too...  ;)

Thank you all who have donated. I appreciate your generosity and all that you do to keep S4GRU going.

 

Some of you sent messages saying you would donate in a few weeks, or donate an additional amount, or set up recurring donations. We are still counting on those fund commitments. So if you have been considering a donation, we would greatly appreciate it. We did not over receive. ;)

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
