  1. Wow I'm very impressed and shocked. Well the old adage -- Thin to Win -- does work. Kudos for them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Except many towers okay let's not say many. Some towers don't have LTE yet is my point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I'll play the role of the broken turntable: All that CA is amazing but with out a stable blanket of reliable LTE / these press releases are sort of funny. Similar to how some here laughed at VZW for testing 5g. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Yeah I pretty positive that normal folk (that excludes most people reading this) just want to have FB posts occur quickly - send photos or videos to friends - and stream pandora. If it works they are happy. Maybe I'm wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I don't think a flat speed limit that high 9mbps would help with network congestion though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  7. Yeah I suspect the Premium fee is to A) appease the net neutrality fans B ) make more money - hey you want it we got it The limits on the stock plan aren't that bad. Tmo plan IMHO costs more and unless I'm reading it wrong only slightly better if you travel internationally. That said - everyone has their own opinions and that's cool!

  8. Not being argumentative How is the new plan "unlimited freedom" complicated? It's a set price that lowers in tiers. Service aside it's the best deal in town for a post paid offering Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. That's all good -- but Marcelo and Masa know more than we do. In many ways -- including which carrier a churned customers turn to AND which carriers people are porting from AND not porting back out! I'd assume that key knowledge helps pinpoint where to spend their undersized stash of money to count the most. Which is why Sprint stinks for me. I assume AJ will Shirley ;-) correct me as needed. Or any one else here... Also Marcelo wants that bonus - and will work his ___ off for it. I know I would be! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I suspect that Blue and Red don't need as much for the long term as both are going to bet the farm on 5g Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. My take is Sprint never really finishes projects, they get 10-30% and send out press release- then slowly keep tackling it till nearly done. And Son / SB seems to be fighting churn with amazing speed results. I suspect if sprint shelved 2x and 3x CA and focused on stable connections with 5-10mbps less would churn and I bet folks would add lines. Now if you frequently only use the phone where b41 is completely done or done well the same happens but less folks. Where as big red and even ATT to a point just gets ____ done. I remember all the ATT ads a couple years ago saying hey we know we need more towers or equipment and we are doing just that. It seems they did. My work device is on Blue and it use to be a hot mess... Not anymore. Come Sprint you can do - but you need the money Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Pretty decent list of locations. Not pooled together nor just major cities. Also I thought doing this was more difficult for ATT and Verizon since they have aging infrastructure? Where as Sprint is supposed to be nimble https://www.verizonwireless.com/featured/lte-advanced/#cities Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I'm no bean counter but ... Having it expire so soon after signing up - may confuse the common subscriber. In that there video and or music quality may worsen so soon after signing up... Granted it's the cost of doing business. Flip side I actually hope the standard freedom plan will help reduce network load -- well if enough people switch to it. Unless I'm in my I like Sprint phase ;-) the deal is a great deal. For me it would be $90 for 2 lines with Unlimited everything (with network shaping) and 5gb of tethering! Plus taxes and equipment costs. Less $400 extra dollars to port back on top of paying off my Verizon phones. Very tempting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. The 22% should only be off, of the data portion and not the access fees which are $40 per device for the Unlimited plan. At least that's what it should be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Which to me this approach is night and day better than TMO in that it's a more fair playing field. And more in line with Net Neutrality Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Thanks So it's basically a more open version of Binge On. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Not to set off a powder keg- but. So with the network optimization in place on the new $60 plan. Does that mean everything is going through a proxy service Like cricket does? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. From my experience the b41 doesn't work well here. Not sure if it can't travel due to poor equipment or the hilly topography of the region. My argument is the other carriers can make it work... Now I know other carriers don't have b41. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I assume this is way off topic but The new version of Apple Maps is I believe a complete re-write and is more open than what I've seen from anyone else. Apple will be opening an "App Store just for Apple Maps" some might say plugins but it's really open and will add extra levels of integration that I haven't seen from others. So it may not be the fastest but it may be what I want. Also I love mobile phones and that includes Android so I don't bash it. I just weight more than one parameter when picking a device or app. And I do prefer the level to which Apple protects my data and security. Choice is good folks [emoji851] Way of topic -- I suspect the map system Uber is developing for its drivers and potential level 4 Autonomous car projects -- will be amazing. But not publicly available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. With the version of Apple maps used here - yes I'd with out a doubt use Google Maps!!! All day ever day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
