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.

What is fdt?

 

 

 

Don't look it up on urbandictionary.com, I don't think that's the definition he is talking about.

 

Haha at least one of those definitions is favorable!

 

I think it is "Fulfillment DeskTop"

 

Here's a pdf of a reference guide.

I too am extremely disappointed. I deliver packages throughout the metro area and I lose connection going in and out of most buildings I encounter. I thought it was my S4, so I bought a Nexus 5 and it is just as bad. I carry an S3 with WiMax and have absolutely no problems whatsoever. It doesn't do any good to complain because the standard line is "It's a work in progress", blah, blah, blah.

 

I am going to break my Sprint contract and move on. Maybe in 10 years they will have their act together. I know a lot of people are tired of the wait. What good is unlimited data when you can't use it? Seems like a farce to me.

An S3 or an S2? The S3 uses the same LTE as the S4. Band 25 (1900). Last Galaxy that did Wimax was the S2.

He means S2. We been through this before.

 

For you N5 users i found this in another thread. People are showing that they can connect to Band 41 on the N5.

I was just about to ask if there was any advantage to a triband right now I the St Charles area. If that holds true here there is now.

Chat reps are most definitely not in the know. I chatted last night, and got my Sprint account added onto a Framily Plan and fully completed their Framily with the 9th and 10th line. So definitely go hop on there and get it done if you guys need in a Framily, chat will do it.

G2 is definitely working with b41 right now. I would assume that the HTC One Max, GS4 Mini, and Galaxy Mega are all capable of b41 too. N5 is a little dicey until we get the official Spark update.

PM ed gci's for the one neat 94/70. I didn't get to do a speed test but its got to be better than 0.1 I got there on 3G lately.

 

That site and the site a little further down at Portwest (still legacy) have been the only two sites on my regular commute that are always overburdened. Spotify stops streaming every time if it's before 11 PM and I get to drive in silence for that stretch of 94.

Just wanted to throw this out there for the thread regulars in case anyone is still looking... I'm in a Framily that has anywhere from two to five spots open. The next one in lowers everyone's bill to $25/mo... 

 

If you're interested, PM me for details and we'll get it hooked up.

Glad you got into one! How was it to get them to merge the existing accounts?

It was, uh, interesting. I was on live chat longer than I thought possible as I had to go back and forth with the Framily owner to get billing address, security question answer, etc. But, other than that, I found that if you were polite and not pushy (at least with my chat rep), it was easy to get in.

 

Everyone's mileage may vary, but I had a pretty straightforward experience. Now, we just need one more line to hit the $25/mo jackpot.  B)

      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 price 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....
