  1. Did anyone else notice it says up to 1080p for videos while the T-Mobile one says up to 4K? Seems like they're still limiting the amount of bandwidth for video, just enough for 1080p. Not saying 4K isn't overkill, just an observation. Interesting AT&T's unl data plan requires a minimum $50 DirecTV plan.
  2. I understand delays, but almost an entire year since they began work?? Something must have really kept them from continuing the upgrade, whether it was permit status or lack of backhaul. I'm hoping someone that has access to Glance can shed an update.
  3. This is just a question. According to @Sprintcare on twitter, this site was to begin work early November and be LTE ready on B25/B26 by the end of March. When I asked about it prior to leaving Sprint early this year, their executive team didn't give a reason. It is still broadcasting legacy 3G only. Anyone have access to Sprint's Glance to see what the status is now?
  4. No idea, all I do know is it's going to take some coordination with the other carriers as they'll all be swapping spectrum with each other.
  5. I had 5 line plan, with no leasing on ED1500 but my plan came close to $300/month. I also had a 26% discount.
  6. Something Sprint's doing right. Wasn't there something about Boost customers getting 7 or 8 GB of hotspot data each month as well?
  7. I do think it's a great idea for them to gradually increase prices, especially when their pricing was of the cheapest in the industry for a great product, but they're changing too much at once. People are used to included high-speed tethering (14GB/month was included yesterday.) Today, it's None, and costs $15 for 5GB! People are used to 14 GB included for free. BingeOn was an option for subscribers on older plans. Now, it's required. The pricing is also a bit more than people on the promotional plans previously ($160/4, as opposed to the $150/4 or $100/2 that many people jumped on.) To market this as an Uncarrier movement is rather ironic as there's nothing but adding pain-points, instead of removing them. EDIT: Typo
  8. Well then this plan really is a huge letdown. They should have kept the ~14GB or so for everything else aside from video and let BingeOn handle the video portion. They're slowly removing features now. EDIT: It's now $15 for 5GB of high-speed hotspot on the new plans. Yikes.
  9. The way I see it, they're now fully in violation of net-neutrality. You want unthrottled data for certain services? Pay up.
  10. Well, I don't use much hotspot, but it is incredibly nice to have when you're on vacation with no access to WiFi (for a tablet/laptop.) Sounds like they'll allow for 480p streaming with unlimited 2G for basic browsing/emails. For now, I'll hold onto my $150/4 line unlimited promo for as long as I can. The 14GB hotspot at full speed is too good to let go. Definitely a good offer for new customers though. Although me personally I'd hold out for another unlimited plan promo.
  11. The best advantage I see is for the BYOD options. AT&T is also rated higher in customer service than Verizon. AT&T's coverage overall is very similar to Verizons, the only difference is a lot of AT&T's rural coverage is still edge/HSPA (no LTE.)
  12. Not too fond of the size...it looks like the same size as the Nexus 5x for the smaller variant. We'll see if the specs WOW me. I'd really like wireless charging.
  13. Is the smaller variant really going to have a 2770MAh battery? How come they can't just make it 3K+?! Edit: appears to have a huge chin for no reason, judging by the latest leak.
  14. It's mainly an issue with eCSFB. Sprint's B26, while can be very usuable at lower levels (-120dBm), it tends to drop off around -115 or so on most devices as the lower signals can result in failed circuit switch to 1x for calls (meaning blocked calls.) Basically, Sprint needs density and VoLTE for LTE to become more useful, especially on B26.
  15. I forgot about NV 1.0. It's been so long haha. Are B26 sites coming online in areas that were part of IBEZ? That may be where other numbers are coming from.
  16. I've seen overlays, but no actual coverage improvements. My guess is they changed the algorithms to measure coverage to make it look bigger and not actually 'lie'. The coverage map for Sprint's LTE is the same as it's been for awhile now. Actually, with the latest update, Jacksonville seems to have lost some LTE Plus coverage!
  17. It depends on the device. On my Nexus 5x, it crashes often but on my GS7 it doesn't. Not exactly sure what the differences are, but I do agree, the inconsistency is noticeable.
  18. It's because Vegas has all new equipment. If Sprint had that type of funding for each market, they'd catch up quickly. Sprint's B41 network could be as great (or even better) than T-Mobile's B4 network. They just need to replicate that and for rural coverage, B25/26 is good enough since it's nationwide.
  19. Actually, on /r/Sprint and /r/TMobile the trolls tend to be downvoted and their posts automatically hidden after it hits a certain threshold. However, I do expect to see HowardForums inheriting a bunch of those troll posts, even though that site is also decently moderated.
  20. I don't think he should be getting that much, unless he did as well as Legere has done turning things around. But, I did notice one thing. A majority of his paycheck was in Sprint stock. More companies should do this when paying their executives so it gives incentive to make the company perform well.
  21. It was interesting that Sprint didn't seem to really care that I was porting my entire family out. Their retention offers were non-existent. But, for most of my calls, their customer service seemed decent. Maybe I got lucky.
  22. Jesus Christ. Fiercewireless comments section. 90% of the posts are about S4GRU. LOL http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/sprints-latest-quarter-leaves-some-analysts-unimpressed/2016-07-29
