We are currently $250 short from making our IP Board payment for May. It is due on 5/24. If we do not have the funds deposited in time, S4GRU will go offline until it's paid.

 

I have personally made up short falls at times in the past, but I am unable to this month. Some of you have personally stepped up and helped in the past too. Thank you for helping at those times.

 

I will take down this post once we cross the $250 needed threshold. If the site goes offline tomorrow, you'll know we didn't make it. I thank you in advance for your consideration.

I don't think I would have stayed with sprint if it hadn't been for this site. A few dollars sent. Thanks James

 

S4GRU never has intended to be a Sprint advocacy site, only an education site -- focused mostly on Sprint, though we have branched out to other topics over the years.

 

Honestly, we do not care which wireless provider you choose, only that you make an informed decision.

 

However, many members have said that they stayed with Sprint purely because of the information they learned here.  Even if that numbers just 100 subs -- and the number probably is a lot greater -- that is a lot of revenue per year.  It would be nice if Sprint were surreptitiously to send S4GRU a little "thank you" donation.

 

Overland Park, are you listening?

Are we close to the target yet

 

My understanding from Robert's posts is that the impending financial goal has been met.

 

Thank you, everyone.  Many donated.  I contributed, too.

 

So, S4GRU will not go dark.  Good!

 

But may I suggest at least a $5 monthly recurring contribution?  I do.  If enough of our members would do so at this level, we likely never would have a financial need again.

 

If you appreciate S4GRU, think of it as a burger, half a pizza, only once per month.  S4GRU remains member supported.  We stick around as long as you want us to stick around.

I would suggest their thank you donation could be of a certain non-monetary form that would also appreciated.

I'm gonna close the thread. Thanks all who rose up. You're still welcome to donate to help cover next month, of course!

      Does anyone know how well implemented is VoNR in the 5 boroughs. Does anyone use it? I have an iPhone 15 Pro. Does anyone know if T-Mobile is still working on upgrading their network? It seems like the service has gone down. My phone struggles in parts of the Belt Pkwy, and data is slow.

      I come to the US Open men’s semifinals and finals every year, and I’ve never been able to use my T-Mobile phone successfully. Usually AT&T is the top performer—good to hear Verizon has upped their game.

      One sector down, two more to go — — — — —  I was at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the U.S. Open today and the good news is that there is an n25/41 DAS setup throughout USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. From the "boardwalk" to the outdoor concession area, to inside the stadium; you connect to standalone n41 and n25 everywhere via oDAS and iDAS. The bad news is that in the actual stadium it's beyond useless. While I saw strong coverage as indicated by signal bars and I was able to make calls and send texts, there was no data throughput at all. Running a speed test failed 9 out of 10 times. The only time I got a speed test to work was by switching to LTE funnily enough or by using NSA 5G where the test would initiate via LTE and then n41 would kick in giving me ~20Mbps. T-Mobile has so much traffic on their 5G network that now n41 gets bogged down before LTE. That was a first for me! In the stadium in the same area Verizon got 1.2Gbps on mmWave and LTE kept timing out when trying to test it. My Boost line on AT&T got upwards of 150Mbps on C-band and I know they have mmWave deployed as I saw their Nokia mmWave antennas deployed but I was unable to test it. In the outdoor concession area T-Mobile performed well getting over 150Mbps on n41. AT&T in these areas saw over 250Mbps on C-band and I didn't get the opportunity to test Verizon there. It just seems like 140MHz n41 is not enough capacity for the amount of people inside the stadium. Hopefully T-Mobile is considering deploying n258 to all of these stadiums since they now own that mmWave nationwide. It'd make a world of difference in terms of capacity at these venues.

      Looks like the second n41 carrier in Seattle was finally upgraded to 90 MHz recently. No idea why it took so long but at least they finally did it.
