    IF Sprint an T-mobile DO merge I wish they would have a BRAND NEW name that has nothing to do with Sprint or T-mobile in the name. A brand new name would be refreshing to see. I have absolutely nothing against either company or company names obviously, I just think it would be nice to change it to something new, both companies have have had both good and bad pasts and if the merger would be done the combination would be a new beginning so to speak. (remember Sprint did do that SMALL name change but they added the Nextel to the end though).... This is just my opinion, I know the name change would probably never happen but just thought I would put it out there....

    AT&T just got 4G LTE (about 2 weeks ago) and all 3 other carriers had LTE before them! (Kinda funny they are #2 and #1,3, & 4 got in before summer lol). Last year Sprint was challenging though a lot of the time I was on 1X near the beach, but when I was EVDO or e-HRPD it was alright. I am going down next month and it will be nice to have the better speeds. Myrtle Beach REALLY needed it no matter what carrier you have, it gets really congested there!

    I know its frustrating, I know West Greece is a very populated area, its not that they don't want LTE there fast, its back haul issues like I mentioned before when I talked to the contractors. I do have the one guys number but I have been way too busy to see if he could find out anything about that tower. Hang in there!

    I do agree with Son, I think SOME Americans are full of themselves(as in major companies), too busy about making money and charging people way too much for crap speeds. I am NOT pointing this at anyone here, I am just saying in GENERAL. (I am playing it safe not to get anyone mad at me for my opinion on here) I do not judge anyone, or any particular company but things here in America could be better!

    I never had T-mobile but I know of a lot of people that come to the Rochester, NY area to different colleges and they are people who come from the big cities and complain about how awful the coverage is even in Buffalo and Syracuse but Rochester is better out of the three. The two friends I still talk to weekly say its gotten better with LTE (that launched late last year). I've personally had the 3 major and for this area I list them best to not so great S, A, then V (again this is for where I live and yes BIG V doesn't work well at my place, your lucky if you get one bar of service and I live in a city). At&t I had them when 3G was the big thing and the major issue I had with them was not the coverage it was constant dropped calls! Anyways back to the T-mobile subject I personally would rather see Sprint take over T-mobile and keep the spectrum Sprint could use on the PCS side for example from what they got from Metro PCS and give the GSM to At&t.

    I agree with everything, but I still like the 2 year however.

    Check the major 4 carriers maps for YOUR location. Just a suggestion! (Side note Sprint is turning on LTE every day/week, become a sponsor on this awesome site and you get more info on Sprint news for 4G LTE!)

    I finally caught up with the techs for the Rochester Market, I ask them about when they think Rochester's Full build sites will be done for LTE (before the GMO). He said mid summer the majority Monroe county should be done, theres been some issues with downtown and the one in Greece. I will NOT give out the reasons he gave me on here (the public form I dont want to get into too much detail with out breaking rules). One last thing I asked the head supervisor was Spark, he said thats going to be a slow process but Late Q2014.

    I say give it time, it will slow down.

    LG Optimus G

    joshnys8913 replied to khammondnm's topic in LG

    I agree! Its a solid phone, again its an older phone model now, and Sprint has discontinued it, I don't know why, heck they are offering WiMax devices on there site to this day! Also I found this phone to have the best speeds when I have done several speed tests. I did 4 last night and I was able to average 31mps down and 9.5mps up. We have solid speeds here, its consistent.

    LG Optimus G

    joshnys8913 replied to khammondnm's topic in LG

    Pretty quiet thread, I got a new LG Optimus G in late April this year (2014) (the person who bought it from only used it for a week). I love the LGOG! Its an older phone now but its a great phone!! There is one thing I am disappointed in is the LTE signal bars are the 1X/3G EVDO signal strength. However not a BIG deal I have Signal Check PRO and have it set up on the notification bar. This phone does live up to hanging onto a VERY WEAK 4G LTE signal which is a HUGE plus I think! I live in a small city and there is a tower up side of town and one downtown (both are LTE) and before I was never able to keep the 4G LTE signal driving from up to downtown and same the other way around downtown to upper part of the city. I tested this on a couple of other devices. Again I guess I don't need the latest and greatest smart phone but this phone is quite impressive, its not THAT OLD of a device really!

    We have known about this for a while now...... Also, AT&T is OK in my opinion but I had dropped calls, and call that would not connect all the time with them back when 3G was the big thing. I tried them recently with the 4G LTE and its "BETTER" but they still have a LOT of work to do, just like Sprint (Just saying!).
  14. joshnys8913
    According to the Sprint.com map Syracuse, Fulton, Ithaca and Oswego are now 4G LTE markets!
  15. joshnys8913
    more and more
  16. joshnys8913
    wow

    Well since the htcguy brought it up, I never really bothered me. Still doesn't but I always wondered what was going on.... lol..... The towers in my city are full builds, just no 800 because of the border (darn border!) All new equipment too.
  18. joshnys8913
    hats Thats what I was thinking, again I am not totally sure. For me it usually happens around 1AM and lasts about 5 mins max.
  19. joshnys8913
    Well once a week, not every night though like yours. Maybe updates? Could be anything I suppose.
  20. joshnys8913
    Ive noticed that too, but the one by me goes out at 1AM. Although for me I live in in a city so it just puts me on the other tower. So no big deal for me.
  21. joshnys8913
    T-mobile still has A LONG ways to go....
  22. joshnys8913
    eh, lol
  23. joshnys8913
    TWC is really good here in the Rochester, NY market too
  24. joshnys8913
    Plus unfortunately AT&T and Vzw have the money and are usually tied to local government, city/towns for there services, an example EMS/Fire, Police.... Sprint may have a few county or cities that use them for there provider. Another unfortunate thing is that AT&T (well not so much AT&T anymore), and Vzw own there own towers (well not ALL of them but you know what I mean...)
