  1. I ran into a lot of 800LTE throughout the midwest this weekend, and with or without Sponsoring this site you can now find B26 in MANY parts of Oklahoma ( I found it hard to outrun B26 in Tulsa this afternoon as I drove all through the County before heading down the Turner. Held B26 Near the mall, Deep in BA, The farm shopping center, fairgrounds area, and all the way out to Sapulpa before dropping to B25 for almost the entire duration of the trip. I HIGHLY SUGGEST becoming a Premier sponsor to view the continuation of the Band 26 LTE rollout and prepare for an imminent Spark (band 41) deployment. OKC, I cannot say entirely. I cut straight through town, Took I35 S and never found B26 until I arrived back at my home site in Norman. There may or may not be any live at this point, but there likely will be very soon. Premier sponsors will likely be able to confirm this on the next map update. -William
  2. A cell repair shop shouldn't ever charge more than $30-40 to swap the battery in the G2, hopefully it lasts for 2-3 years before you need to do that. It's a 3 step removal for the battery. It is just not easily interchangeable for the lay person.
  3. I was off the charger at 6:04 this morning. I was at 7% by lunch. I pulled it off the charger at 100% at 1:30 and now i'm down to 74%..in an hour. -William
  4. I consistently use about 7.5GB of 4G data, 1GB of 3G data and 15-25GB on WiFi with my G2. Compound this with 3,000 texts and 700-2,000 minutes of talk time monthly. On weekdays it is off the charger at 7:00, battery is half dead by noon and around 10% by 6:00 pm. When i had my Samsung S3 I was recharging by lunchtime. I don't think the ZVC update has made any difference in my battery life, but I find the phone glitching and freezing; which I never experienced before the update. -William

    LG G3

    LG has been excellent with updates so far. No reason to think they will not support the flagship model for 2-3 generations. I expect to receive updates on this phone until 2015 when I grab the G4 . -Will
  6. 3.5 is great for outdoor LTE, and is a serious contender in the fixed wireless game. One Son is preparing to be a heavy hitter in. Would you not want the flexibility of a network that would allow you 100+mbps outside on your mobile, and inside on through your home wifi via a fixed terminal connection on your home? -William
  7. Has anyone tried out a KIA Sportage or any Hyundai counterparts? They are excellent cars.
  8. Another dying theory, I agree they wouldn't sign off calmly in a fire.
  9. It's hard to believe anything the media says, the fire theory makes the most sense in my head.
  10. Kia Sportage AWD turbo, my dad loves his. Rain,snow, ice and it powers through them all.
  11. Hopefully you realize the flaw in that statement. 5MHz is only 5MHz and this is shared by a community. Thousands of little data monglers gobbling away unlimited.
  12. That's a 40 footer! The shortest of it's kind
  13. That is correct. Verizon, USCC, whoever your roaming partner is for the area. -William
  14. Thats correct, 900 MHz is TDD MIMO. It does not adhere to 3GPP parameters.
  15. Yes. But that is not the band I would have trouble deploying in OKC, band 43 is the capacity king. Im going to pipe down now, but almost each site now utilizes 4 bands and up to 120MHZ of spectrum. We have a guy in Norman pulling 250mbps at his house over our wireless. Yes 250mbps. Unfortunately backhaul of that scale is not available at other sites.
  16. OKC has a license protection operator. They have about 10 sites in the metro. I have about 5 different ways to mitigate interferance, but I will still shy away from OKC, meaning when the capital is available;Tulsa deploys first. (I already have 3 LPO sites in Tulsa,and a few in the rest of the state)
  17. I can whole heatedly agree with that statement. 800MHz will work wonders for coverage when it deployed densely in the Metro's, and the capacity will be presented with the band 41 deployment which I suspect will begin to happen in OKC/Tulsa within 12 months. After that, Sprint has a treasure trove of spectrum. They can stack LTE carriers, Also, if Sprint play's their card correctly they could have other LTE bands they could deploy on.
  18. I think it is best to not invest any more than required on a fallback technology like EV-DO. I would think adding band 26 to ALL the sites in Oklahoma, and not just what is represented in the current deployment schedule would alleviate the coverage problem Sprint is plagued with here. Band 26 and 1X800 on every site will give a basic backdrop of consistent coverage, indoors, outdoors and even at cell edges. It won't be a source for deep capacity though, and even in spectrum plush markets like OKC, There is not enough for a second carrier. Though If I remember correctly the equipment can operate down to 1.4MHz carrier widths, essentially enough for a VoLTE carrier,or a narrowband LTE channel for mid-low range smartphones in the future. (That is just a physical possibility, It is not to my knowledge a plan on behalf of Sprint) Hopefully one day I can deploy band 8 through OKC metro, but even that will be delayed years due to a LPO from Edmond to Moore. -William
  19. Isn't this the same calendar day as the tragic Tsunami that Son is spending his life to re-mediate? Interesting, Wish I was invited. -William
  20. I haven't noticed much action in Oklahoma lately as far as physical upgrades, but the effects of NV show. Outdoors I have LTE 90% of the time, Indoors I have LTE 40% of the time. At home I hold fringe LTE for a while, but with rows of apartments, houses and a few particular buildings band 25 loses grip in the interior of my house. Luckily we have a mighty 3G network to fall back on. LTE 3G Back to WiFi
  21. Ive been able to operate on 900MHz through mild interferance. It is mitagatable in most sutualtions.
  22. Yeahhhh! Cant climb in a storm. They also cant climb if there's ice. William
