Since Verizon has so many corporate & government clients it's not hard to imagine they would have a lower ARPU than Sprint. -Will

I have been using 900 for testing with no I'll effects on 10 & 20 MHz TDD setups. I dont care what it is classified as, it works for high speed mobile broadband. -Will

. Yes ISN and I'm talking specifically about 3.6 since that's what I have a licence for. -Will

If you are not nearing an expiring contract or in a pinch to grab a new handset I would say wait. Sprint has already promised every future LTE phone will support tri-band, Chicago is one of the first cities to have Clearwire's TD LTE; though as it is based on 2.6 GHz you won't see it indoors. Lucky for you Chicago has served as a round deployment for 1X Addvanced & 800MHz LTE will be on market-wide by early 2014. You will see that indoors, & finally Sprint will have a level playing ground to compete against the big dogs. -Will

Your'e killing me lynyrd! Technically I have seen proof that At&t has begun isolated AWS deployments, there is a site this way just 15 miles from me. I would just expect that since Chicago is one of the furthest deployed NV 1.0 markets & has a growing TD-LTE footprint it would be a great time to jump to Sprint, especially since Chi-town is a breeding ground for 800MHz -Will

That's a shame, you would have a superb triband experience In Chicago land.

Yes, absolutely.

Yes I want coverage everywhere. Otherwise I'm going to get my @$$ chewed for pleading Sprint. Let's just make it Quinband (800/900/1900/2600/3600) plus you don't need that much money or time, read the sensorly directions, map where you go...that includes your home, neighborhood, work, school etc. -Will

Haha, zoom closer. What's mapped is covered, look at the streets and alleyways. That's a deceptive zoom level. -Will

Yes, that is the point in using it. Very high speed traffic offloading near the site. -Will

Well geez, I haven't pulled off any thing that fast over wireless that wasn't for back haul.

If Sprint and I got in touch we could start throwing around air fiber fed sites and split gig circuits 2 or 3 ways. -Will I know you need fiber eventually but this would speed up metro deployments considerably. 3.6/900 could get thrown into the mix..or maybe I'm off in left field and should stick to doing this privately.

I stand on the other end of the fence, Mobile data should be available at your home. Have you ever gone down the street to talk to your neighbor? Walked to a convenience store? Growing up around Realtors I learned At&t has been very successful, a great deal attributed to the fact that services have worked indoors. Many people are tech illiterate when it comes to networks, the average user thinks something is wrong with the phone if it doesn't work in their home. Yes, you should still use Wifi at your home though. -Will

Absolutely, please PM me. -Will

Ew, T-Mobile has the worst indoor coverage of any carrier I've seen. I dropped about 3 calls a day on T-Mobile compared to 1 a week on Sprint. Att/vzw both have 750 LTe if you want coverage NOW.

Licenses are ready, current funding will not permit any deployment across state lines & probably will not unless i got a large private partner or took to public funding. -Will

That's how it is at my father's home. 4G in the garage, porch etc. Not anywhere Inside the brick fortress. The site closest to him @. 8 miles is not upgraded yet, but I imagine 800LTE would be available indoors already. That portion (800smr) LTE would be effective, the 2.5/6 GHz is only for outdoor use.

darn, looks like it's the g2.

The device is pre-production as of the initial tests in July, I know many have given up hope but is there any real chance we could see a re certification of the Sprint variant with the inclusion of 2 more bands? From an efficiency standpoint once a device has passed certification from the FCC it would be finalized as the production model. -Will

Update from Tulsa this weekend. Seems like power levels have been turned down quite a bit on the live sites, hopefully this means the fill in sites will begin. Also the 81st & Mingo site was completely live 2 weekends prior & gave me a -68 dBm as i sat at the light, -76 as i passed behind TCC on hwy 169 & fell out of azimuth just as i came in view of the 97th & memorial tower on Creek turnpike westbound. I wasn't on my feet enough to fire up sensorly until just before i went up the on ramp. I did pull something like 20mbps down off the southeast facing sector. However i passed by yesterday and it would not connect, I fell off the 71st union PK lot site around 91st ST on hwy 169. My conclusion, this site may have glimpsed testing signals to me on my prior visit; the site on the Union parking lot was hit or miss for about 2-3 weeks before it went blue on the map; the 81st site went blue first though. Once the 61st & 129,101st & garnett,91st & 145th& 71 memorial fire station site see NV crews south Tulsa/BA will be nearly completed for NV1.0 -Will

Edge to legacy 3G is like walking vs riding a bike. I will take a Sprint phone with legacy 3G vs an hspa T-Mobile phone any day. I have dropped more calls and texts over T-Mobile than I have combined on any other carrier. I have a poor Sprint 4G signal right now indoors, but it beats my neighbors T-Mobile LTe connection as he has a circle with a pretty line through it. Brick buildings are rough, but what's worse is that Tmo has my area LTE complete and Sprint has only 1/3 sites that reach me broadcasting. -Will

Unless something better comes along I'll grab the G2. Galaxy mega is too big for me & the specs fall a little flat.

I think there is a large talent pool on this forum.

I'm not likely to own an iPhone 5S, or C anytime in the future; however I suspect 3 member in my family will be on board with them when we renew with Sprint next month. As of yesterday Sprint Lte now covers 4 out of 5 of our plan members homes so the decision was (almost) unanimous.

Last time I saw AJ he did not appear to be burdened by any excess weight.
