Generally over 1Mbps...it's actually pretty darn good nowadays. The more people that move to LTE, the less congested it is!
-
We still have one line on our account with a iphone 4S (3G only) Make me an offer, Marcelo!

Band 41 is below 2-4 Mbps in Baltimore nowadays...so hopefully having 2.5Ghz downlink with 1.9Ghz for uplink will help with download speeds.

I'm in Maryland, we were originally supposed to get 6-10" of snow, now looking like 2-4". Just grassy areas covered so far, roads are just wet. I was hoping for a snow day!

Forgive me...but I honestly don't know the answer. What the heck is an Account Spending Limit? Is this just a limit your bill can hit if you don't pay the bill before they terminate service? And they charge a fee for this "protection"?

Not easily sell. I've had a iPhone 5c listed on Swappa all month...started at $235, have it listed for $175 now and still nothing. Might try craigslist next I guess. But selling Sprint phones is not easy...Verizon 5c's are moving quickly, but not the Sprint ones.

On ED1500 you can lease for $5 a month with the $15 credit.

Leasing is easier, and provides a good value. That's why people lease phones. No trying to sell your phone, or shelving it like many likely do. It's not for everyone, but it is for some folks. I like to buy my phone (just pay full retail), which gives me options to sell and replace at any time. My wife will never get anything but an iPhone, and only likes to upgrade every 2 years, so it works well for her line.

I don't find cell towers any more ugly than telephone poles, so I don't really see the big deal.

Does the market actually demand nationwide fiber to all citizens? I'll be honest and say I don't know. Maybe most people want easier access. It's not a problem where I live, so if that wasn't the case perhaps I would feel differently. I am a federal emoloyee (I work in govt budget/finance policy), so I see how awful we do at many things. Some things the government does very well, and this could very well be one of them. It's important to remember that a company like Sprint or Verizon have a #1 priority, and that is shareholder value. At some point the market will very likely dictate more prevalent fiber, and shareholder value will decline until they invest in that. But if the government took over that, it certainly might speed it up. But you'd probably piss off a lot of political donators ????

How much would a government run nationwide fiber network cost????? But in all honesty...it's too late for that option. And the government isn't exactly doing a stroller job of managing the interstate system. Deficient roads that exceeded their traffic design over 20 years still running strong. But hey, I live in Maryland, so maybe all the crappy roads are here.

I've noticed B41 in Bel Air along MD-24 as well. Wonder if they have 8T8R antennas up anywhere in the area? -
BWI Airport still showing as "Spark Turbo"...last time I was there, I was rocking Extended 1X even outside...lol.

I imagine there is some issue with that tower. No reason for them to wait...that's s pretty important tower...IMO. -
That is good to hear. Glad I misunderstood it.
