  1. What is it with the rain?

    Every time it rains in PA my cable internet gets all balled up!

     

    I then connect to my wireless tether via the epic touch.

    The internet on the phone is fine!

     

    Weird!

    It could be a damaged cable line either on your property or somewhere between the switch and your place. I had my home phone line go out a few years ago because water got in and rusted the wires. 2 or 3 days without phone service. And are you using 3G or 4G on your Epic Touch?

  2. The nexus S just got ICS in April. We can differ on the fact of whether it is last year or not; However manufactured in 2011 seems pretty much like last year if you ask me.!

     

    That really depends on the phone. The Galaxy Nexus is a flagship phone. The Evo Shift was also built last year and discontinued a few days shy of a year old. Even though it's last year's phone, it's worse than being last years tech.

  3. I know. And after hearing about some issues with the Chicago rollout, I was expecting LATE end of the year. It may just be a upgrade to EVDO, but I find it hard to believe going to that trouble and then coming back in a few months and doing more work.

     

    Granted, when does Sprint ever make sense.

     

    And that brings us all back to the question about new towers, did they just get plain upgrades and aren't ready for NV, or will they be partly NV ready from the time they are turned on?

  4. Yeah, I'll definitely have to keep it. It's the only way I'll have enough data to work at home. Just with the horrible 3G speeds I get now, if I do decide to get a capped 4G and keep my unlimited 3G plan as backup, I might have to think about getting 4G from AT&T now rather than waiting for LTE. I don't know...at least the 12GB with Sprint is much better than the 5GB than AT&T so it might still be worth the wait.

     

    My neighbor works for CenturyLink and he's been after them for years to get DSL with no luck. He works on installing T-1 lines in the area, so next time I see him I'll have to ask him about additional lines he might know about coming to some of the local towers.

     

    Yeah, definitely. Do you use more than 12GB/mo? I've been known to use almost 100GB/mo. at&t cut my friends unlimited data card because I used over 50GB 2 months in a row.

  5. And if that's the case, AT&T has 4G now (HSPA+, but still) where I am, so do I even need to really wait for Sprint LTE?

     

    I don't know... ruined my day. :cry:

     

    I understand your dilemma. I have gone thru it. And at&t is the worst about killing unlimited plans. They did with my friends data card a few years back, and we couldn't get by with 5GB/mo. Keep your data card for now. And hopefully your local utilities would come soon for high speed internet.
