It is Netflix. It's called example short, and it defaults to showing the info.

BingeOn 480p vs wifi 1080p Device: iPhone 6S Plus. T-Mobile LTE averages 60Mbps at my house. FiOS wifi averages 55Mbps. http://m.imgur.com/RqelK1g,cyxEBYd Pretty significant bandwidth savings.

New hashtag... #recarrier Lol

I have bingeing activated on my account already. It's listed under services. And I can confirm Netflix limited to 480p resolution at 1750kbps (1080p on wifi runs 5800kbps). Quality looks great on iPhone 6s Plus. My speeds at home have not changed at all either...still over 60Mbps.
-
I got it activated on my account too. 1750kbps 480p on Netflix. Turn wifi on and it jumps to 1080p at 5800kbps. So quite a bandwidth savings. Quality looks good on my iPhone 6s Plus. I rarely watch mobile video, but I'll probably keep it on.

It's not live until Nov 19th on legacy plans. The new plans get it starting Nov 15th. You won't see the option until its live.
-
New panels on each tower required for 600Mhz. A lot of work to deploy.
-
Yeah, good point. He said you can turn it off if you want.
-
Legere claims that it's optimized video...uses less bandwidth. LTE Broadcast?
-
"Optimized Stream!" I feel like I'm watching an Apple keynote...lol Edit: And its unlimited video...BingeOn

Long live WiMax....lol I'm not surprised by the injunction to be honest. Given how the case has been progressing.

Western Maryland has LTE now!

Sprint Q3 (Q2 Fiscal Quarter earnings) Discussion (Scheduled Nov 3rd)
joshuam replied to Ascertion's topic in General Topics
That's not how Sprint's billing works. Your first Sprint bill is much higher for a reason, they are billing pro-rated portions of current month, and a full month for the next. T-Mobile handles it in an even weirder way. When you sign up for post paid service on T-Mobile, you bill cycles in 3 days after you activate a line. So you pay for 3 days of service, then a full month of service. -
Get the free Sprint one...it's a great router!
-
Holy crap. I pay $29.99 (taxes included) for Verizon FiOS....50/50Mbps. I have that rate locked for 24 months. I guess I could see the reason to be concerns about wide open LTE service. For me, I'd be glad to fill in a coverage gap...but my house has 5 bars of T-Mobile LTE, so no reason for me to get one.
-
I left my Airave open at my parents house. Would consistently speed test 3G at 2Mbps. I don't see how LTE would invite "data abuse" for the most part. I guess if your neighbor was one of those prick 1TB a month users...lol.

BYOD devices, or devices without wifi calling. Other than that, the only target market I can see is a small business.
-
Do they actually need to become a national carrier to be a viable and profitable business? I'm not convinced they want to or need to become a national carrier to compete.
-
Marcelo is in Cuba for business (per his Twitter account). Doesn't Sprint already have roaming in Cuba?
-
True story. But I don't understand how you can use so much data roaming anyways. When my Sprint phone says "Extended 1x"...I have never had a successful outgoing call. Texts will go through...just take forever. It is more comforting to have roaming service instead of "No Service".
-
He also said it topped $1B at one point. So it has drastically improved!
-
Doh...yes, not sure why I put %...lol
-
CFO: "We have never had in-market roaming, so we don't have those costs like Sprint, which spent over over $500M last year to Verizon alone. Those cost savings are used in other areas."
-
Legere: "The 300M pops does NOT include roaming. That is strictly 100% native T-Mobile coverage"
