  1. That was the nice answer, using humor to deflect from the situation. Would you prefer the answer be that staff impose strict moderation on you again? Because that is a distinct possibility. AJ
  2. I believe the excessive number to be a case of PWM -- Posting While Medicated. "Sir, I am going to need you to put down the handset and/or step away from the keyboard." AJ
  3. If you do not know the "monkeys might fly out of my butt" reference, then you are too young or lacking in pop culture literacy. As for your other posts, you offered nothing but what may happen based upon idle speculation. The point remains: nobody knows. Sprint absorbed Clearwire without any spectrum loss -- and that was under the Obama administration -- so divestment hardly would be a given. Above all, though, a merger may not occur. Even if it were to happen, a consent decree and any fallout from it would be many moons from now. People, this is a discussion forum, but that does not mean any and all topics are ripe for discussion ad nauseam. AJ
  4. Isn't it true that monkeys may fly out of my butt? I mean, it could happen, hypothetically. The point is that nobody knows anything certain, not now, not anytime in the near future. Any potential merger combination is literally a year or more away. So, perhaps, stop yammering about what may or might happen. AJ
  5. And in a stunning display of non coincidence, the correct grammar is "Like whom?" AJ
  6. Do not worry about it. Think percentage. Almost any percentage of 15 Mbps is a small number. Trading 3 Mbps (20 percent) of a 15 Mbps max TDD uplink, for example, is not returning an additional 3 Mbps on a 90 Mbps max TDD downlink. No, it is netting about an additional 18 Mbps (20 percent), a substantial difference. Those are hypothetical examples, not actual values. But do you get the point? The uplink will be affected minimally. What is lost will not be missed. AJ

    You are "not too sure"? Try just "not" -- as in no, negatory, not gonna work. AJ
  8. People fixate on placement, especially first or last place. But that is flawed human thinking. With four major networks, one always is going to be last, you know. Even if a massive merger consolidates all four down to three, one still will be last, be that nationwide or somewhere, someplace. Fourth place in the 100 m at the Olympics, for example, is not slow. Similarly, last place in RootMetrics does not mean slow, unusable, or poor. It could mean last by fractions of points. AJ
  9. To be a good wireless citizen, to help improve LTE signal for other users within a several hundred foot radius. AJ
  10. People, stop the excessive quoting. A few of you are holding a conversation basically among yourselves. You need not quote each other at every turn. All of you already understand the context of the reply. AJ
  11. For our next article on The Wall, we are considering this headline... "BGR is a trashy tech news site, but here is S4GRU's RF look at the Samsung Galaxy S8" AJ
  12. "Yes, you can actually get worse cell service than Sprint" That is the headline, yet the article is not even about Sprint. Knuckleheads. http://bgr.com/2017/05/09/best-wireless-network-2017-t-mobile-vs-verizon-avoid-straight-talk/ AJ
  13. I've seen fire, and I've seen rain. I've seen strong signals that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a roaming friend. But I always thought that I'd see Sprint again. AJ
  14. Not exactly. But if you are going to look at it that way, why bring up T-Mobile? Just compare it to the Airave, which Sprint has offered for more than a decade. AJ
  15. No. Here are two devices that support band 12 but not band 17. Some other CCA/RRPP handsets are in the same boat. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-393-even-more-guardians-of-the-samsung-galaxy/ AJ
  16. Devices capable of SRLTE or SVLTE can juggle separate LTE and CDMA1X networks. Devices that are limited to e/CSFB, as far as I know, cannot. AJ
  17. Not a fan of the recent proliferation of these navel gazing, retrospective threads... AJ
