Earlier this year I came across at a crossing point. Go with a carrier like Verizon or att, take advantage of faster speeds for a little more money, or stick with sprint, be a little patient , and take advantage of the fruits once the network upgrade is being finished ? I came to this site , and realized the future is brighter with sprint, if they can execute it right. If they do.. They will have the advantage. Band 41 and the sprint spark plan make it all worth while. While I do not have a tri band lte device, I my next one will, and I do agree with you, will be better off on the sprint network the I would with the other guys down the road. The Aspen Grove shopping center is just like many other sites that will be night and day once the upgrade is complete. The point was.. Man .. I can't wait to see these speeds go from 200k to 10-20x faster. It's going to be well worth it. Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

Oh wow! Tower network bandwidth is something I had not ever though of heard about. Another reason I love this site. Always learning something new! Thanks for that information Merlin! Always appreciate your insight! Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

Absolutely it can use an upgrade, just as many sites can. The point being is . As light as traffic and congestion was in the area, I was shocked to see the data so slow. There was no flood of any traffic I. The area, Santa fe was very light. Different story on a week day... Or later in the day on a Saturday. All that will change once the NV is complete.

Actually in context if you would have noticed it was 8 in the morning, and the parking lot wasn't full at all, considering most of the shops were still closed. Also, traffic was light as well... Considering it was ... 8am. Haha! Thus The point being.. This site is dire need of an upgrade badly, and I am sure the customers in this area could appreciate. Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

At the Aspen Grove shopping center now, and this place really could benefit from the NV upgrade. Yikes! Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

I think it would actually provide better competition to the top carriers, now that Sprint would actually be a serious competitor.

Not mention with the news that just came in today, about Sprint possibly purchasing T-Mobile in the first half of 2014. Sprint is turning around, and getting everything in motion, especially when you consider Sprint Spark. A little more patience will pay off. Good to have you on the forums!

I must re examine my entire childhood now that I know Santa lives in Littleton Colorado!

Speaking of sprints network being managed by contractors. Do any of the carriers actually manage their own networks themselves, is this a standard in the industry? I assume if att is laying there own back haul they have more leverage and ability to manage there own network than sprint would, seeing the back haul is being provided by century link and att ?

That would be the guy! I have to chuckle when I read some his tweets. Funny man! Good Find Fraydog!

" Hesse likened the transition to the story of the "Three Little Pigs." Sprint is building a house of brick while its competitors are using straw and stick. And even though Sprint's network is taking a longer time to build the network, it will last longer. And he said that customers will soon see the fruits of this labor. " - Dan Hesse And this is why I signed another 2 year agreement with Sprint. Patience will pay off. Of course John Legere disagrees.

Exactly, and now that money instead can be used to roll out NV and Spark.

Of course. The app is also available in the App Store , but not being a vzw customer, you don't get the red zone channel or Thursday night foot ball. No live NFL stream. Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

That is fine, since with most Cable/SAT providers, you can use the ESPN App to get this content. I only wish Sprint would carry the NFL Mobile App again with NFL Red Zone and NFL Network. Would be nice if they could strike an exclusive deal with MLB too.

So, is Sprint running on CenturyLinks backhaul, or is Centurylink just laying the Fiber and backhaul for Sprint?

The weather slows it down right, but it doesn't come to a stop when we have a snowy day in colorado like today... Is that correct? Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

Sweet! Thanks guys for the answers and info, I Appreciate it! Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

Does mounting antennas to buildings have some of the same issues as stealth towers? Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

Thank you for that information, why in the world would they not want to do stuff towers? You would think they want to at least to help out the eyesore of cell towers. Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk
