  1. Flawed comparison. The Jaguars cannot hold a candle to the Packers in history, quality, national following, etc. Plus, Green Bay has Milwaukee. In the end, the Jaguars never should have existed. Jacksonville was and still is one of the more baffling, boneheaded decisions that the NFL has ever made. The NFL owners seemingly were ignorant of geography -- Jacksonville appears to be larger than it is because of the large population of Jacksonville proper, while the rest of the metro area is quite small. AJ
  2. In the tweet, note the "not seeing much of a difference." That could be because these MIMO and modulation enhancements may require such optimal signal quality as to make little difference in the grand scheme. The only network upgrades that practically are guaranteed to improve overall performance in all signal conditions are spectrum bandwidth and site density. AJ
  3. Apple is screwing you guys. The dedicated headphone jack offers the highest quality audio output, and believe it or not, the hardware still is contained inside the iPhone 7. Apple just removed the external opening for the female plug, but you can unleash it on your own. You iPhoners should do it. You really should. AJ
  4. Nope, not even the Jacksonville market from your very limited, anecdotal evidence. For all you/we know, Sprint could be the #1 network overall in Jacksonville right now. Or not. AJ
  5. You do realize that not even the #1 rated network is great everywhere, anytime. Location, location, location, and time, time, time. VZW, AT&T, and T-Mobile all have similar sore spots in all markets at times. You cannot generalize any reliable conclusions from that. AJ
  6. No, many, many multi mode devices preceded the Nexus 5. Otherwise, most international roaming would not have been possible for VZW and Sprint. AJ
  7. The correct answer, of course, is the Nexus 5. It was the best Nexus. Groundbreaking, stylish, inexpensive, flagship caliber. http://www.theverge.com/2016/9/23/13027272/best-google-nexus-phone AJ
  8. I know how to make Arysyn cry... http://blog.gsmarena.com/google-asked-sony-ericsson-to-built-the-nexus-one-se-turns-them-down-preserves-their-pride/ AJ
  9. Richard Reid says, "I never fly without my Samsung Galaxy Note 7." AJ
  10. Whatever service Google is using these days for VoIP -- Gmail, Google Voice, Google Talk -- runs about 80 kbps in each direction. That likely is a 64 kbps payload with the rest as overhead. For 3GPP codecs, the bit rates would be half that or less. AJ
  11. That the iPhone mystique persists to this day among the hoi polloi, thereby artificially propping up the resale value, is astonishing. Any used phone is still a used phone. Not "preowned." USED. AJ
  12. How would he know? He mentioned San Francisco, not San Diego. Go ask Carmen. AJ
  13. What AT&T "better" track record is that? U-verse deployment? Not available in all areas. Do not even get started on the FttP that AT&T does not want to deploy. W-CDMA deployment? Took only 5-6 years to deploy "3G," circa 2005-2010. LTE deployment? Still ongoing. Not to mention, AT&T lied to regulators, saying that it would limit LTE deployment if it were not allowed to acquire T-Mobile. The standard of measure seems to be that AT&T works "better" in Old Johnner's Woods, so its deployment must be "better." AJ
  14. The law of large numbers. With approximately 1000 users per urban sector, those speed tests are occurring more frequently than you believe. Each speed test may last only 30 seconds, but all speed tests across all users are like big 18 wheelers rumbling past your house every few minutes, if not more often than that. AJ
  15. S4GRU prohibits posting slow speed test images -- unless done so specifically for diagnostic purposes. S4GRU tolerates other speed test images but does not encourage them. While we cannot prevent members from running speed tests, S4GRU does not condone repeatedly running speed tests on "unlimited" or zero rated data, since each speed test easily can consume upwards of 100 MB. That is why this thread is under review. AJ
  16. Nothing but a genuine Panaphonics for me. AJ
  17. That is nothing more than anti Samsung Galaxy Note 7 propaganda. Shame on Southwest for hate speech against a handset just because that handset is different from others. AJ
  18. Rethink what methods? The inmates do not run the asylum. Why generate traffic? And why would speed tests accomplish that? iPhone 7 speed tests are like any other speed tests. Your arguments are unconvincing. AJ
  19. Also, no. Staff does not seek member permission nor provide member notification in advance of moderation. AJ
  20. A Canon camera and a Sony Discman. AJ
  21. Let's talk about your "big but"... AJ
  22. People are the worst. Sprint would be so much better if we just could get rid of all the people. AJ
