    Ookla does not always reflect the results of Carrier aggregation.

    I was thinking as opposed to just going to no service there rather than roaming on Verizon. There is one other option, the article did mention that Silver Star is part of Sprints program, maybe they could acquire the assets and continue the existing arrangement.

    I wonder if Sprint will acquire it's assets to turn that area into native coverage.

    But even Mediacom is cheaper than that. They're 75$ for 100mbps and that's with a 1TB cap and no discounts (so that's the highest price you pay). I think the reaction is more that SpeedConnect owns almost all the 2.5 ghz spectrum, so Sprint can't reasonably deploy Spark. That ad is one of the big reasons Sprint service sticks in the Quad Cities.

    Glad it's not just me. I thought maybe it was just my home tower.

    Technically most T mobile customers aren't running out of data, they are just getting throttled. My guess is the network speeds that they brag so much about are encouraging people to consume more data.

    I'd take that literally, but I enjoy just joyriding subway systems. So only a personal preference. If KC had a subway system I'd move there in a heartbeat. Fwiw, I actually like using the KC airport because it's so nice and compact, it makes for convenient departure and arrival.

    It's more that there are still a lot of drops to 3G, especially here in eastern Iowa in areas that B26 should be able to cover. I really hate not being able to hold onto a -112 B25 signal and dropping to 3G, it happens a lot here in cedar rapids.

    Sure. Verizon is too [emoji3]

    Touchwiz is probably the reason I don't get a Samsung phone. I guess I was turned off by it when I had my Epic 4G Touch.

    It isn't that much of a liability, not enough to move. It's just not a top choice for young people these days. But in the end, that's easy to overcome, just pay a little more than the other guys.

    I will give it this, traffic isn't bad in KC. And eventually us Millennials settle down and have a family. Then KC looks a lot better. Just generally not right out of college. Not much KC can do about the curse of being in the Midwest anyways.
  13. bretton88
    KC is not a great city for Millennials. Terrible transit, lots of driving to get around, not a ton of density to allow for walkability and community. So it will be harder to attract young talent there. To KCs credit, it is starting to evolve and it has all the ingredients to become a premier city and the nice weather helps. I should note that these challenges are not unique to KC, but KC is definitely coming around.

    If they don't grandfather existing plans in, then there's little reason to keep on them since it will basically be a price increase.

    Would be amazing, but it's owned by the City of Brookings. Some convenient campaign donations to the city council might work though

    I've been fortunate to have decent hotel WiFi lately. I find Marriott hotels (all chains) are generally better. But I'm platinum with them, so I get free access to their paid tier.
  17. bretton88
    That's interesting. Did they get rid of the dynamic antenna that was supposed to help out with that?
  18. bretton88
    I don't see why this wouldn't be the specs for that price. Several other flagships (Motorola, Oneplus, etc) are doing similar specs for that price.

    No, a lot of GMOs are in rural areas, that are very capable of being upgraded to Tri-Band. But because they are low use sites, the decision was made to not fully upgrade them.

    This would make me the happiest person ever. Hopefully it happens soon.

    USCC, while part of the CCA, did not join the Roaming Partnership.
  22. bretton88
    Sadly, a roaming deal is no guarantee of Sprint getting access to the USCC network. It is always possible that they just are paying the partner to roam on their network. Honestly, if Sprint doesn't change the roaming cap, access to USCC LTE doesn't mean much either.

    Being that they have done network testing together in the past, Sprint would be one of the networks that they could get initialized in such a short time frame.
  24. bretton88
    That being the big question. Right now Sprint on their customer forums says that they have not received the device for testing yet so can not say if it will be a compatible device.

    Motorola now claims that the Pure Edition supports all 3 Sprint bands.
