The other day I added a line to my account with a iPhone that I already owned with its original sim. The rep added the line but failed to tell me that it would also be attached to a 2 year agreement. I called back and they said as of last year that was the new rule even if I add a line with a device a already own. So it got me to thinking...is there any real reason to keep my legacy plan if this type of stuff is going to be applied to a plan like mines. So I ask the question, what is some reason as to why I should keep my Unlimited My Way plan instead of just dropping it for the Sprint current $75 unlimited plan? For those who did part ways with their legacy plan did you regret it?

I'm on the new unlimited plan with two other friends. We had an older unlimited plan that was much more expensive than what the new plan offered. The only minor drawback was that the roaming data allotment (which for some reason never works) dropped, but the hotspot capability has been nice, so no regrets so far. None of us use enough data in a given month to trigger the "deprioritization" threshold.

I I may just drop my plan to the newest unlimited plan. I have a friend who is on it and he uses he said about 40gb a month and in his experience hasn't noticed any slowdown. Too what I also read was if I was to upgrade my phone on the UMW I would then fall into the network management policy. I know that the plan had the unlimited guarantee for life but honestly even if I did get a newer unlimited plan and sprint did away with unlimited sprint won't kick anyone off their plans.

      Network Vision/LTE - Northern & Southern Connecticut Markets (includes all cities)

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      I was just in Greenwich, CT doing some shopping and naturally also doing some recording of cell sites in the background on Cellmapper. Specifically I was along Greenwich Ave which is the most dense part of the city. Verizon: Literally didn't work most of the time. Even though their coverage shows the entire city blanketed in 5GUW you'll only be on their nationwide 5G network or LTE if you're anywhere south of Lewis St. Regular 5G (non C-band) didn't work at all. I don't mean it was slow, I mean it didn't pass any data at all. When I opened Instagram it told me "No connection". In a store I was in I even overheard someone asking another shopper if they had service in the store. I immediately knew they were on Verizon. Switching to LTE gave me data although it was slow. In most stores I'd get speeds in the low teens, outside it'd go up to 40Mbps. Above Lewis St. my phone finally connected to n77. On n77 I was seeing ~180Mbps. It seems like the issue isn't backhaul, it's just that Verizon doesn't have any remaining capacity on the LTE side.   AT&T: AT&T was slow but didn't suffer from the same "No data connection" issue that Verizon did. Speeds were in the low teens most of the time and peaked around 50Mbps. My phone hopped between AT&T's nationwide 5G and LTE frequently much like Verizon. Also just like Verizon, north of Lewis St. I suddenly connected to 5G+ which gave me speeds just over 100Mbps. AT&T also at least one small cell along Greenwich Ave for additional capacity and coverage and it's doing wonders for their network in the area. I'd go as far as saying it's probably the only reason they're not in the same situation as Verizon.   T-Mobile: Not to sound like an ad for the company but I was really blown away by T-Mobile's performance here. T-Mobile is collocated on the same towers as Verizon and AT&T in the region but they have an extra site in the steeple a church along Greenwich Ave that they've upgraded with n41. As a result, T-Mobile not only has the strongest signal indoors and outdoors, they also have the fastest speeds by a long shot. Nowhere along the commercial strip did I drop below 500Mbps. Indoors I was seeing over 300Mbps and outdoors I peaked at over 600Mbps. For the sake of testing I switched my phone to LTE and saw speeds of 180Mbps indoors.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      This site, along with T-Mobile eNB 307360, don't have B41 live, but do have n41 live. Seems like the latest T-Mobile convert sites don't broadcast B41 at all.
