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.

There is one site on the Illinois side causing issue. Don't know of others.

Its not actually Zumbehl and 94, Port West is closer but it only goes off to the side of 94 across from the billboard site and the rental storage place it's just outside of. They are putting up the panels right now in the snow and freezing rain. Cool, you go guys. Now to make from the car to the apartment without falling on my butt. Sent from my SPH-L900

We have actually had reports of 3 sites with CSFB issues. 2 on the MO side and one near Granite City IL. Also any newly accepted 4G site will cause problems too.

I must end up in the 21.4% a lot. Building penetration is a joke. They have to be embarrassed at this fiasco.

The 800 rollout isn't near as far along. Give it time and the indoor coverage will increase.

Embarrassed at what "fiasco"?  Network Vision deployment is an ongoing.  It will be largely complete later this year, and that was the plan.  If you cannot be patient, find another provider.

 

Also, tone it down.  S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints.  Read the rules:

C'mon, AJ. It wouldn't be a NV Sites Complete % update without Killswitch complaining about indoor signal penetration!

Exactly!  ;)

 

Sorry I am not a fanboy and can't hold your hands and skip down the hall singing Kumbaya! 

 

Sprint should have never sold LTE phones in a market that can't support them. When I got mine in August I was told by the CSR that it would work perfectly and it was 100% better than the 4G (That worked perfectly for me!) When it didn't, I took it back to return it and they refused. So sue me for having a bitter taste in my mouth.

You had 14 days to return or exchange it and you also still had the WiMax phone you could reactivate. Would you rather Sprint have stuck with WiMax? I think Sprint's Network Vision is pretty darn ambitious.

Maybe we could all pitch in a few bucks to pay Killswitche's ETF so we don't have to hear him complain all of the time.

I stopped checking this forum around 2 months ago, mostly because I was too lazy to install Tapatalk on my new OS. Looks like nothing much has changed since January...Updates are still rolling in and Killswitch is still complaining.

I ran into that grabbing the gci/pci for one of the newly accepted sites today off 94. 

 

 

 

Edit. I just reread the wall post about eCSFB  and I guess the fix is to get 3G up to NV accepted. Have any of the 3 got 3G updates and did the problem go away?

Ericsson has weird problems with CSFB. Unlike Samsung, they are able to install it on legacy sites, but it's not rock solid. Most of the time it works, but some sites have problems, and the 3G upgrade side of things doesn't seem to affect whether it works or not.

      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....
