  1. I agree 100%. Timing is going to be everything. I do wish they didn’t throw all there’s plans out in the open.The media is going to hold Sprint to it. They can’t take another blow with the network not meeting their goal. I as well as everyone here just wants Sprint is quickly execute and either meet or exceed their goal. It would be nice if Sprint with all their boasting for what they are going to do this year put out a projected coverage map. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I agree. I’m shocked they didn’t speak on raising prices this year. The UF plan honestly should be more and not $65 especially since it had 1080p video standard. Even in my use I’m able to stream YouTube at 1440p with no issues. I my area Sprint is great and works the way I need it too. I do see them doing a stronger PR move as the network gets stronger. Sending devices for review so that reviewer can test the network on said device. Honestly I would be mad or shocked if they did a test drive like program like what T-Mobile had. It’ll be a great way to break the stigma about the network. It worked for T-Mobile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Exactly. I think they will raise prices to be slightly more expensive to T-Mobiles current prices. Even today, people aren’t as price sensitive as they once were because if that was the case,Sprint would have more net adds than what they are currently pulling. Pricing keeps the other 3 in check but it’s a two fold situation. The other 3 stay competitive price wise but Sprint kinda gets the short stick. If the cost is not a huge difference, why not go to a stronger network. At that point, Sprint gets overlooked. This network investment they have a lot riding on it, a lot of convincing to potential customers that Sprint is the carrier to be work. But when that time comes, will people really care?

  4. Hard to say. Sprint is planning to raise prices next year when their 5G network comes around first half of 2019. So if you get on this promo, you’ll be subject to whatever price increase that happens next year. Sprint is the cheaper of the other 3 but this will probably be the last time we see these kind of prices with Sprint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Minus the upload speeds, do these numbers really show a difference in real world usage? I don’t think so. It is good to see Sprint have a average above 20mbps now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Looks like T- Mobile has changed their tune when it comes to 5G and will now have 5G the first half of 2019 instead of 2020. I think this was a result of Sprint and them really kicking things into gear and putting to use that spectrum that they once praised saying it was ideal for 5G. Too, I'm sure T-Mobile will be dammed if they ever let Sprint outdo them in something. Also too, Verizon and AT&T will have some form of 5G this year. So waiting until 2020 would make them late to the game. I'm really interested to see how this 5G will go for T-mobile since they are using 600 and whatever MMWave spectrum they have. 5G Coming in 2019
  7. They still held their 3rd position...barely but it’s still there. I would hope that with all the work currently going on that they will move the needle next report. Nice the report was released not nothing to see here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I have it on my iPhone. From what I have seen so far, nothing too different. I do like the more visible strength levels on the map without having to zoom in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Hmmm. Something is definitely going on especially if it’s been reported in multiple states. Maybe sprint is slowly flipping to switch but in stages. I guess from their findings, calling plus worked better than expected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Sprint reported they have 9.7 TB of data used. That’s damn good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. http:// https://www.mobilesportsreport.com/2018/02/verizon-sees-18-8-tb-of-cellular-data-used-at-super-bowl-52/ Taking the article at not 100% but Verizon said they used 18.8TB, AT&T 7.2TB and Sprint has not given numbers just yet. What was interesting was T-Mobile saying they were not releasing the total data usage from the game. That’s really not like them to boast. For them not to release they numbers makes me think 1. The total usage was low because their customers were enjoying the game and off their phones. 2. The usage was low because the network was really struggling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Looks like things are holding up...especially with that upload.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I didn’t know Sprint was taking some of their CDMA and making b25 wider. I have 10x10 in my city but I thought it was due to having 25 Spectrum past the 5x5 here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Sprint has their work really cut out for them this year. They are making a lot of big claims with what they plan to do this year and next. I just hope they follow through and either meet or exceed. Given their track record with promises, I can believe most are taking it with a grain on salt until proven wrong.

  15. I agree, and some of that green is already documented. There's alot of planned towers in the Dakotas. So I think the coverage expansion has been altered some since then.
  16. It seems as though my magic box has regressed. My speeds get below 1mbps but at 6am can pump 80 down. When I got the box it wasn’t this way. Crazy thing is I have excellent signal according to the box. Starting to think about moving the box. I may try a new location that may have a slightly less than excellent signal to see what happens. If that doesn’t work then the site is too congested on b41. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Sprint is really serious about getting the network together and able to actually compete with the other 3 this year. I wish this happened a year or so ago but hey, better late than never.
  18. Yea, Allegedly they dropped the story first (Saw this via a google search of 5G)and then Engadget re-hashed it. Honestly, who knows where this Govt. 5G talk is going to end up. I did get a small chuckle that Recode were the only ones reporting this.

  20. Hmm I don’t know how I feel about this but I’m definitely wanting to hear Sprints stance on this. So far they’ve been pretty much in agreement with government changes. I would think with a government built network, it would decrease competition and carrier profit. I do think 5G is hyped up more than what it is and we still haven’t hit maturity peak with 4G.

  21. It still drops off and comes back when the call disconnects. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
