speaking of weird signals, In Palestine Tx, west of it near the trinity river, I was able to get sprint signal , 1x be it that, with a signal of -100 dbm, and texting/calling worked, even loaded a few web pages. with the closest site being 30-40 miles away. Crazy things have happened like that lately. If I was able to do that Through thick forest of trees, I would not be surprised if something similar is happening to you

Hey Jeremy,

 

The furthest we install clients with Line of Sight is about 8-9 miles on 5 GHz. It is unlicensed so we have to carefully monitor quality and capacity on each sector so we can detect with our tools if there is interference. If there is, we do a spectrum scan and see if we can find a cleaner channel and then switch it. We also get around this by putting in more sectors with smaller beamwidths for example going from 120* sectors to 60* sectors. This gives us more capacity and less interference overall so we can add more customers and offer higher speeds.

 

Josh is correct that in areas with 2 or more wireline competitors, we generally wouldn't target residential subscribers because they often have choices with higher speeds and/or lower pricing than our company does. In those same areas though, we can heavily target businesses where we can offer more reliable service, better customer support, higher speeds, or just a backup connection to their primary.

 

Our bread and butter is definitely rural markets where cable doesn't go and DSL is non-existent or under 1-3 Mbps. 

 

Thanks for your votes so far guys!

Yeah we have a fixed wireless company here Dctexas and never had them. Price per Mbps is high, especially compared to yours. I pay around $60 after taxes for a 12/1 connection. Dsl only offers up to 6mbps (Att) lines are 20 years old at least so speeds would most likely be less than .5 mbps on the upload.

 

I wish we had options. A semi rural, close to a growing city should have more than 2 semi reliable internet options.

Our residential offerings are listed on our website and are 3/1, 10/10, 20/20, and 30/30 Mbps speeds. We can do custom plans up to 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) via licensed wireless as well if a business needs that much speed. Most consumers pick our 10 or 20 Mbps plan. Our competition is DSL under 1 Mbps, dialup, satellite internet, and 4G services through Verizon with horrible data caps. In many places, we're the only unlimited data option for home and business fixed services. 

 

I think you're safe to ask any questions here since it is a General Topic and not related to Network Vision. Please vote for our grant if you haven't already

 

Feel free to ask any more questions.

 

Its sad you offer better service probably than most cable companies offer. Too bad you dont have service in My neck of the woods. Its sad to see upload speeds below 10mbps these days. I wouldnt mind that 30/30 package. What is the coverage distance from the tower outwards usually like? Also if its unlicensed spectrum isnt it open to more interference?

Hello all,

 

I'm an avid reader here at S4GRU but I seldom post due to running a WISP (Wireless ISP in Minnesota). We have applied for a $100,000 grant through Chase Mission Main Street where they give away 20 grants each year totaling $2 million.

 

As part of this community, we would very much appreciate your vote by clicking the link below and voting through your Facebook account. We just need 250 votes minimum to go to the next round where judges look at our proposal. 

 

Please help us with this so we can expand Fast, Reliable, Affordable and Unlimited Internet to more of rural Minnesota. Also, please feel free to pick my brain on how our WISP operates so you can learn more about what we do. Anything from Fiber to Licensed backhauls, customer service, etc.

 

Thank you for your support!

Saw the website, Curious how good are the pings on yalls setup?

I only have time to get on ever now and then, but I voted. Keep up your good work!

I hope they can make a less costly nexus 2015 , like the nexus 5. I would buy one in that case, but I can not justify paying $600+ for an overly enlarged phone.

Connections. Includes m2m, wholesale, etc

Would still put sprint at 3rd overall. I was under the assumption this was supposedly the quarter sprint fell to 4th, and lost subscribers, not gained them

So if I read the report right aprint has 57 million people on its network?

Wouldnt it be better for output? 2x the people making the same thing, rather than 2 different pieces.

I flashed a deodexed stock rom and i still get the contacts stopped working crap, but is running stable for me so far. No random shut downs or freezing upon boot.

I also saw a promo on sprints website lease the gs6 for $20/month, and get a $20 bill credit for $20, only if you preorder and choose lease.

I reflashed the oa6 tar yesterday and so far its actually been running smooth again. It might be worth trying for yall

Sprintlink doesn't offer Tx connections. Remember that the guest data need not go through the same VPN or tunnel as the corporate network.

Yes i am aware of the guest traffic being router differently. It goes through a seperate server than the private traffic. and routed different places. Well im honestly not sure what ISP offering they actually use, the speeds are usually pretty symetric, lately its been around 4down/5up

It seems like 5.0 on the s5 has plenty of issues, it was great at first then some how snowballed out of control. Kinda sad actually.

Has anyone been having your phonr completely freeze requiring a battery pull, and once reatarted your phone is completely black, and you get "system isnt reaponding " message, and needs anotjer battery pull, then works fine for bit

I would have thought that Iliad, the French telecom operator, provided Wi-Fi for Target.

Right on Tar-jhay with that!

Target's headquarters might use Sprintlink.

Well I dont think thats whats it is. On private computers at target, it shows up as Target Corp as the isp. The private and public use the same internet source, the public does not use a tunnel to minneapolis. It is straight from an internal router/server to restrict illegal stuff and to redirect to the login page. other than that its all in building. What is weird though is we use VOIP and wimax wouldnt be ideal, we could be using bundled T1 offering from them maybe?

Well target im sure uses a vpn to minneapolis for its private network. The network here shows wichita kansas iirc

Remember, Sprint also has landline business! They probably use Sprint as ISP via cable or fiber. Wimax won't have enough bandwidth for the entire store.

Ive never seen anything sprint related wireline here. Its all ATT and Suddenlink wireline wise. We used to have a clause guaranteeing one phone, and one cable operator in the city for awhile.

So i figured out that Target in my local area uses Sprint for public wifi, and even possibly for its devices connection to Minneapolis. How common is this to see? Its obviously it is wimax due to higher pings 75-100 usually,  and speeds 2-6mbps. And what will happen once wimax shuts off?

Sprint has 800mhz for voice and lte.

Not a fair comparison.

Sounds like a lame excuse. Sprint could claim low average speed test due to most testing taking place on band 25/26 who cares why and deal with the fact.

 

Anyone else have an extremely bloated Facebook app? 150 mbs? I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Every time I reinstall it says it's only a 30+ mbs download. What gives.

Cached information im sure can add up with pictures and videos, do you have messenger installed? I checked mine was 300mb on total where yours says 151.

Wow. Would warranty cover it?

Going to thebplay store like in your picture, i can see a slight but in. But its only recognizable if at an extreme angle.

Why costly?

To s-off you have to hse an app that charges $20+ per device to s-off, firewater no longer is supported. And even firewater wasnt guaranteed tobwork, but at least it was free.

Think I'm going to do the HTC One M8 honestly, think it's a good setup basically stock android with a nice skin.

It was an awesome phone for sure! S-off on it is costly to do if you want to really modify anything.
