  1. Sorry for post this here, wasn't sure where else to put it. But long live unlimited data (for now....and until AT&T doubles the price in the future). http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/11/10746516/att-unlimited-data-plan-pricing-directv-uverse It's actually a pretty good deal if you are a DirectTV or uVerse customer....$180 for 4 lines, unlimited talk/text/data. One unique aspect..you can get unlimited data on a TABLET. Don't think I've ever seen that before.
  2. I can confirm that Sprint is VERY accommodating for any DoD employee (MIL or CIV) that goes overseas. They have lots of things they can do to help.
  3. Plus if you have Apple devices, you can just go to an Apple store for a replacement. It'll cost around $200...but water damage, cracked screen...they can fix in an Apple store...I've never had to yet, but it would be a lot less than paying for TEP every month and then their deductible.
  4. It really sucks. It's the "norm" of all the local Sprint stores (corp or not) in central Maryland. I have yet to find a good one.
  5. Makes sense. Gone are the $15/month promos (which cost carriers alot of money). My brother-in-law went to a Sprint store last night to get the iPhone Forever deal at $15/month...but he was told they required insurance for 90 days at $14/month, after 90 days he could cancel it. I know that insurance is NOT required, just a sales rep trying to get commission. But my brother-in-law just left and missed out.
  6. I remember that tirade from Brett Schulte. He blocked me on twitter for defending Marcelo's English. Lol. Marcelo does have an accent, but I do not have a hard time understanding him at all. And it's racist for anyone to say he can't lead Sprint because of his accent.
  7. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Insider-Sprint-to-Ditch-Contracts-Device-Subsidies-This-Week-136011 No more contracts for existing customers? Is that correct?
  8. https://newsroom.t-mobile.com/news/t-mobile-adds-over-8-million-customers-for-second-consecutive-year.htm 2.1M net adds in 4th Quarter. 8.3M for the year.
  9. Honestly even if T-Mobile did away with the zero rating of certain services...id likely still keep BingeOn on, just so video streams better without buffering. Most of my streaming is while commuting, so I'm switching towers and signs strength constantly. BingeOn has made my Netfix watching completely seemless. It's even more relevant for tablets with even more limited data. Even without zero rating. I turn it off occasionally, especially if I'm sitting at 1Gb of my 10Gb used and I'm more than half way through the cycle...lol
  10. Didn't T-Mobile admit all video would be "optimized" (read: throttled). I was never under the impression that anything different was being done. Their claim was it will reduce your data usage for all video. If people don't like it, they can disable it. Not defending one way or another...just passing along what was highlighted by T-Mobile execs previously.
  11. I hate to ask, because it is not the "end all solution to all problems". But are you in a band 12 market on a band 12 device? The iPhone 6 (without band 12) was mediocre in fringe areas on VoLTE. But the 6S with band 12 is much improved. At least in the Baltimore market. I hate similar VoLTE issues prior to getting a band 12 handset.
  12. Like every other post of yours is complaining about someone else? Lol...
  13. I don't do many voice calls, but VoLTE is a great experience.
  14. Sorry for the emojis. I'm with you on this subject...I was being sarcastic. Truthful about my habits, so I am ashamed. But I'm riding the gravy train as long as it lasts...lol
  15. http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/study-atts-network-tops-disney-world-while-sprint-and-t-mobile-lag/2015-12-22 This mirrors my experience. It's unfortunate because Disney used to use Nextel, which was VERY reliable everywhere. Not sure what happened.
  16. BingeOn has allowed me to binge on Netflix during my 1 hour commute. Please don't take it away!
  17. Some companies are sharing SSL certs with T-Mobile so they can view encrypted streams.
  18. House of Cards! Season 4 comes out in a few months.
  19. At the very least, they should have quietly donated the food items to a local food bank or something. Instead, they just look like over reacting tools.
  20. I can confirm T-Mobile speeds are awful in the inner harbor area downtown. Like 1Mbps at 5 bars, HSPA runs closer to 10Mbps. Sprint was the same before CA, need to go back to test now.
  21. VoLTE works great for me as well. I do have blocked wifi calls occasionally though.
  22. Per COO Mike Seivert...T-Mobiles churn is down 30bps this QTR. Their best church improvement this year unless it takes a big turn for the worst in December.
  23. I couldn't imagine using T-Mobile if they didn't have band 12 here. Even with a fairly dense network, band 12 really changes things as far as coverage goes.
