Thanks to the selflessness of one of our members I now have a new shiny HTC ONE to play with! I am speechless! Its only a loaner but this is amazing!

Last night I had the Mifi at Urban Chestnut for an event and was pulling crazy good Band 41 LTE. I was feeling cocky, so I challenged friends with a Verizon phone & AT&T phone to a speedtest.

Yea that Bucheit one is pretty strong. You'll get 4G almost to the base of the other one. The 94 and motherhead isn't 4G YET I've been staying on it.

Anyone In NoCo area?

Just drove past the Paul Avenue and S Florisant site behind Fergusson PD.  No LTE at all, even though it has been 4G accepted.  This is what they call a Red Stick, right?

Saw a line dangling down from the tower at Girl Scout and S Meridian in Glen Carbon as I zipped by.  Maybe they've started work?  I'll try to check it out if no one gets there before me...

Send me your LTE engineering screen next time you go by there and have 4G and I'll let you know.

False alarm.  Nothing going on there, except for maybe some old backhaul work.

heh, well the st louis is right at the beginning stages of lte roll out, if you can't wait the few months out, then do what you gotta do.

 

you could also switch back to your s2.

 

if you actually traded it in, you can check craigs list there are usually tons of wimax phones, then you can go back to wimax until lte is available where you need it.

 

 

Is that the plan, to have it widespread within a few months?

If no one else does I can check the mall after 4 PM. Meanwhile no sign of NSA operatives err... Sprint inspectors at the Motherhead site.

I don't think that blip could be from any other confirmed 4G site.

 

 

Yea and that site is hard to look at the base driving by it and has that huge fenced in area around it with the other tower.

I wouldn't doubt it if that's from the Ballwin site.  Some of the sites (e.g. North Lindbergh behind Aldi and Riverview) seem to have crazy range.  That, and the blip looks pretty weak.

That's a possibility as well.

I would say that there would be a majority of the St. Louis Metro covered within a few months. The permit for the site near the Rock Road and 170 was issued on 2/20/2013 and needs to be completed by August 20th.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
