    Network Vision/LTE - Jacksonville Market (including Gainesville/St. Augustine/Ocala)

    in Markets

    Posted

    We all do. Now that we see T-Mobile creeping up the prices it's clear that while we would get a better network if a merger happened, competition would be very stale and prices would be much higher.

    I definitely would like at least even some coverage expansion to that would boost Sprint's viability as at Nationwide carrier. But it's sprint can do go on its own. Then Sprint would stand a much better chance. But I don't know what will happen it's interesting to watch.

    Exactly. I don't see why they didn't so this a while ago. It works for the other carriers.

    It would definitely give Sprint a much better image when it comes to their LTE network and that experience it would give customers. They still need to do a lot of densification. But if they can actually implement this throughout their whole network I see their experience becoming much better in its entirety. They can then draw more customers and boost Revenue that would help them give them the capital needed to densify their entire network. I just wanted to see Sprint succeed.

    It will. Then b26 takes it from there alone like it does now. Speeds would slow down but overrall the experience would likely be significantly better in the long run.

    So that adds to the consistency and the reliability of the service and coverage. I see what you're saying now so the end-user experience is much better. Now I agree with what you guys are saying.

    Simple CA is better than no CA. You can have 2 overloaded bands or 1 merged band with the range of b26 but the capacity of both. It would probably help in a lot of areas. Especially since more and more towers are getting 10x10 or better b25.

    I see what your saying now..so you have their coverage and capacity both melded into a larger carrier...and also what happens if you move out of range of band 25...won't the capacity be diminished...

    I would agree but b25 can be just as slow as b26. If it was done that way b26 would be more reliable than b25. Having it go both ways is tthe best route. Speeds will either go up or stay the same because it's already congested in as lot of areas.

    Ben 25 is usually very congested anyways so I don't really see too much in terms of a benefit with it

    Verizon unlimited customers getting the boot.

    For customers who use alot of data, it might be more expensive, but it would provide a better network experience. If Verizon's speeds keep decreasing, its a sign that with the increased usage on the network, then deprioritization becomes more of an issue, in which everyone who uses over 22gb of data will run into the risk of eventually.

     

    For instance, 22gb of data, is just 7gb more than the 15gb inclusion I'm proposing. at $1 per gb, if a customer uses autopay, that is only $52 monthly per line. Also, I think it would be a good idea for Verizon to include taxes. Another figure here, I'll bring it up to the same 32gb deprioritization limit of T-Mobile. That would make the cost at $62 monthly per line with autopay for 32gb of full-speed data, HD video included.

     

    With T-Mobile, the only way its cheaper than that, is with multiple lines. Yet, if Verizon were able to spare its network by implementing this, and the quality went back up, then it would become a value proposition on how much data a customer uses to network quality in delivering content with that data.

     

    One way or the other, it'll be interesting whatever happens here. Verizon needs more spectrum and if they don't change plans to better suit the network, they've got to seek out more spectrum. This is a major reason why I believe if Sprint goes with Charter and Comcast, it'll eventually end up with Verizon too, giving Verizon a bunch of extra, very important spectrum.

    It definitely more Spectrum here in central New Jersey. And in South Jersey they need more densification and Spectrum to keep up with demand. But yes it's going to be very interesting to see what happens.

    It may be one of the few things John Legere is telling the truth about. There are so many customers Verizon has on a carrier that doesn't have much more spectrum than T-Mobile, and has the least spectrum per customer of all carriers.

     

    I realize why Verizon felt they needed to offer unlimited data again, but I believe they really should have done something else at the time instead. Its going to be more difficult for them to change things now, without risking losing more customers.

     

    I've mentioned an idea here on S4GRU lately, which I believe to be a great alternative to unlimited data, and may also help ease the load on the network. This idea being the hybrid plan. Now, I've been suggesting it at 30gb monthly non-expiry carryover data, but that is more towards what T-Mobile and Sprint could do with their non-burdened networks.

     

    AT&T and Verizon might be better off trying a hybrid plan at 15gb full-speed data monthly per line for $45 monthly per line with autopay/$50 monthly per line without autopay, then offer the option of $1 per gb full-speed data overage, while including free unlimited slower speed overage data at 3mbps.

     

    That is the best way I can think of at the moment for them to relieve the congestion on their network by offering a better price deal for less of the more network-intensive data, getting customers to use less bandwidth or else pay more for the faster data many customers don't actually need. This being a better solution than deprioritization.

    Yes I understand where you're coming from but also at the same time that would be much more expensive to then people would leave Verizon and got too expensive.

    Figuring this has become the Verizon thread here on S4GRU, I'll write here and improvise based off this thread's title. My post being "Verizon's customers give Verizon the Boot". A title highly appropriate considering this news article, here :

    It'll be interesting to see what happens when the unlimited data plan Verizon offers starts straining capacity on the network I'm starting to see that a little bit in my area.

    How are debt laden companies going to cut her reduce their revenue streams and manage to stay in business? More specifically how is sprint, a company that hasnt posted a profit in over 10 years?

     

    Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

    Those are my sentiments exactly. I've seen Financial reports from Sprint yes they are getting better but they've got a long way to go to get rid of their debt. And as I see it their debt does not give them much of a negotiation position. But my thinking maybe completely wrong if somebody else wants to chime in to correct me if I'm mistaken please do so.

    T-Mobile does not support it -- the documentation is clear. If you camped on band 12 with a Pixel XL, then that is not band 12 only coverage. You probably do not have any band 12 only sites in New Jersey.

     

    AJ

    You're right I have Multi Band LTE sites in New Jersey. So then this issue is unrelated to me.

    I agree on that right there.

    If their network was on par with at least AT&T I can see them needing to raise the price like that yes they still have to build out their Network more. And I understand that takes money. But I can definitely see them starting to lose customers besides they poached so many customers from the other three carriers that their supply of customers may slow down in terms of acquiring new customers. I got rid of T-Mobile though and I now have Verizon which I have no problems with when I leave the state I live in T-Mobile is very spotty once I leave the Maryland Delaware border. Even on the beaches in Delaware T-Mobile didn't work right. Sprint on the other hand has solid 3-g Network which worked very well when they had no LTE. So in my opinion Sprint's gotten better but T-Mobile has a very long way to go.

    I am on T-Mobile prepaid pay per day. But that is not relevant to band 12 access, only roaming access.

     

    Moreover, the band 12 access issue is with the Pixel, not the Nexus 5X. I am fully aware of the latter. You need to go back and read the full context of the discussion.

     

    AJ

    I've never had issues with band 12 on T-Mobile with the pixel XL.

    I wouldn't say it's desperation since people are still flocking to them. The same could be said about Sprint giving away free service. Now that's as low as you can go. At least Sprint didn't go public with the offering.

    That's true...but at the same time they raised their prices...their network is no where near ATT or Verizon's network...they have a long way to go..
