    It is in testing.
  2. Bob Newhart
    It is slow today too.
  3. Bob Newhart
    When they're the only consumer at that location, that speed is good and achievable. Do they have 10Gbps backhaul to these sites? I doubt they do.

    Anyone can upgrade early, just pay the unpaid months.
  5. Bob Newhart
    Will the new menu get rid of the Calling plus option?

    Sprint customers do not get access to all towers or all bands on a tower. There are towers where we only get access to one band, even though the tower has 3 bands.

    All roaming data on TMO go through Sprint servers in a few locations. These Sprint servers have a finite capacity, as more and more phones are able to roam, the speeds for people roaming will go down.
  8. Bob Newhart
    Just because there is TMO LTE, it doesn't mean you are allowed to connect. Depends on the tower and band.

    When the fiber feeds are knocked out from CenturyLink/Comcast, it doesn't matter anyway.
  10. Bob Newhart
    Huh?
  11. Bob Newhart
    New band 26 sites aren't set to full power right away.
  12. Bob Newhart
    Not on coverage. They are really behind on installing band 26 in the city where it is really needed.

    Thanks for this misinformation.

    The cost of living where T-Mobile is in the PNW is a LOT higher than KS. T-Mobile will keep KS because they can pay people less. The T-Mobile campus in Bellevue is FULL. The Overland park buildings are sold and leased back. They mentioned that in the KS news.
  15. Bob Newhart
    That is the first step. More steps from Sprint now.

    Have you heard that VoLTE roaming will be in effect? I have heard it will not be. Non-voice roaming data goes via the TMO-S gateways. When you roam from Sprint towers to T-Mobile towers, the device IP address changes, latency goes up, as all data goes via Sprint's gateways, similar to how international roaming works.

    And 5G is ... what? All it is now is 1 number higher than 4.
  18. Bob Newhart
    What do you mean? On my iPhone Xs, while roaming LTE on T-Mobile, it shows Sprint as it has an 1xRTT voice signal available.
  19. Bob Newhart
    Possibly from the increased latency? All your data will go via a gateway miles from your location.

    People pay for cell phones and service for a reason. If we wanted just to use unreliable WiFI, we wouldn't pay for cell service. WiFi in stores usually requires 'ok, agreeing to the conditions', every.... single.... time. Not an option.
  21. Bob Newhart
    The ability to roam on T-Mobile for all the other iPhones previous to Xs/XsM models.
  22. Bob Newhart
    Seriously? WiFi is not a replacement. Using Voice and data at the same time is very common. When you're in a store, speaking to your spouse about a product, sending pictures back and forth about what you're supposed to pick up, etc. That is VERY common. CDMA voice calling is on the way out. VoLTE is better.

    I'm hoping for a flat (non-curved) screen. An assignable button, that can be used for a camera shutter operation. Two USB-C sockets.
  24. Bob Newhart
    It depends on the site AND band. In areas where band 12 sucks for T-Mobile customers, you can be guaranteed that band 12 is not available for Sprint customers.
  25. Bob Newhart
    By market/tower/band/phone.
