I have started an active map of all known Band 41 permits for the entire state of CT, and any confirmed Band 26 sightings.  I posted it in the premiere sponsor section.  I would love to get all of your reports and keep the map active and growing.  

I know not everyone is a premiere sponsor, but with the incredible offer out there, you can become one for a much lower donation than ever before.  I strongly recommend it.  You will get to see some great information, more schedule information, and definitely more progress information.  The Sprint network is accelerating fast, and with everyone's help we can make one of the best market level maps in the country.

Check it out, and if you aren't sure how to go about it, check out this link: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/6095-special-premier-sponsor-offerfor-a-limited-time/

I don't know why everyone is so excited about b41. Yes, speeds are great.

 

B26 is what will make sprint a better network, not b41

Once b25 and b26 were loaded you would be praying for b41. It's a tripod. What happens when you kick out the leg of a tripod?

Had a call from Northern CT market to Massachusetts market (out near the Cape) that was HD voice. Before today, it seemed to only be a few tower spans before it wasn't HD.

Are you sure you aren't confusing LTE bars with actual signal? What does signal check show you for signal levels? The LTE bars are terrible. I'm at - 101 for an LTE signal, which is awesome, but have only 1 bar, because the phones are stupid and the programmers don't handle LTE signals right when it comes to the bar display.

The NV completion is for NV 1.0 right? Or is it NV 1.0 and 2.0? If it's both then Sprint is working quick. Either way my signal has gotten better and better. I've noticed more 1x800 and B26. I have not seen any B 41 yet.

Yes. NV 1.0

The deal will be approved with substantial concessions.

People said the same thing about the ATT deal...... Dont bank on it. DT has though. Either way they win.

That 1 Billion dollar breakup fee could sure get a lot of B41 sites running.

The entire idea of a break up fee is garbage.

Hey I want to buy this truck. OK, but if financing doesn't go through, you owe us 2 grand anyway.

I hate it when mommy and daddy fight.

But I love my m8 now that all the eCSFB issues in my area appear to resolved. Now if I can get some band 41 action I would be happy as a pig in... Well you know

My M8 has not updated and after 5 tries still doesn't. Nothing new here.

For premiere sponsors, go to the premiere section and check NV 2.0 permit thread. I posted a bunch scattered around CT. And its not an inclusive list, there will be more than I can find and posted.

If you find a 2.5 site, take some pictures if you can. If in doubt, grab a nice picture.

BUT MOMMY I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT FASTEST DATA ALL THE TIME, I DONT CARE IF THE OTHER KIDS CANT HAVENT ANY.... I JUST WANT MINE

Yes. That's what some of you sound like. Doesn't matter that a throttle on some could mean more for all, you only care that you got yours when you wanted it.

As you mature in life you realize it's not all about you. Life isn't fair. If you use a ton of data and dont like this policy, go to another carrier. Why are you whining to us like we can axe the policy or something?

End rant.

Are you streaming your music on regular quality?

Regular is CD quality which is plenty for on the go streaming for anyone.

If people didn't use ultra high quality maybe it would help keep then out of the top 5%

You will hit the data cap fairly quick trying to use it as a primary isp

Premiere Sponsors, I posted some information in the premiere sponsor section regarding some new permits that came across the state database.

Article from Boston Globe:  http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2014/05/19/fcc-fines-sprint-million-not-call-case/e9JBWC2TDCdsBXNo6i8iFO/story.html

WASHINGTON — The Federal Communications Commission said Sprint will pay $7.5 million in the largest Do Not Call settlement to date for making unwanted telemarketing calls and sending texts to consumers.

The FCC said Monday that Sprint will also put a two-year plan in place to make sure it complies with rules designed to prevent people from receiving unwanted marketing calls.

The settlement follows one in 2011 in which Sprint paid $400,000 because of similar complaints.

Sprint Corp. said the issues with Do Not Call were due to ‘‘technical and inadvertent human errors,’’ which it reported to the FCC. The company also said it has made significant capital investments to improve its Do Not Call/text oversight and compliance.

 

I have gotten this email 4 times in 6 weeks. Crappy part is my number 2 used tower is still overloaded 3g, that finally at least got panels put up during the middle of April.

There is no upside to the consumer in all this, unless of course you like paying more money for what you already have.

When Netflix is 20 bucks a month to stream and your favorite video game goes from 60 to 100 to purchase, with a 10 dollar monthly online "fee", dont come here bitching about how unfair that is.

The isp companies got rich off tax dollars and exploding consumer buy in. The rapid rise in profits are now just steady, level revenue. That doesn't attract investors. This is their next way to get more profits and more investors, while sitting on their yacht, not giving a damn that the guy working 80 hours a week to even have Internet and food just wants to sit back, relax, and catch a Netflix movie with his wife who just worked an 80 week too.

ATT recently sold off their land line and cable business in CT, so they are ahead of the divestiture game.

Even if they mention ping times it shouldn't matter. Its not like sensorly is selecting better (closer) servers for some carriers and not others. Every carriers ping time will suffer when the server for the test is in Uzbekistan....

Not worried about it in terms of who is better, more in terms of accuracy. That being said, who is to say it will be the same servers the tests are run against?

Sent from my HTC M8

Hope they dont reference the ping times on sensorly.  Ping is never accurate in their latest generation app for some reason.  Every other app will get below 50 for a ping, but sensorly will be over 200 almost all the time.

Great point. And could they bid together on 600 if they did that?

Like you will on the overloaded system anyway.

But I had said video chat. Things that stream can typically be done on slower higher r latency connections. You just get worse quality.

I am on a tower right now that I never get above 200kpbs and 300ms latency 3g service, but I can stream almost anything, just not in HD, and it might buffer a few seconds from time to time.

Not too big a gripe honestly. But there are plenty of times I can even do a simple webmail refresh in my browser. If a throttle on some of the large data consumers allows me to always refresh that page, thats great for me and Sprint, because I don't want to throw my phone against the wall.

Also what massive files are you downloading on your phone and using on your phone? I've seen some extremely large PowerPoint presentations come in around 50mb, but then after 30 pages I say F this and boot my pc, moving it to my laptop. As AJ pointed out.
