    About 93% of the Sprint sites in Douglas County have Band 25 LTE. The vast majority of these also have Band 26. As Tim noted, your problem is more a device problem than anything. Sprint still has site spacing issues here, but I'm on LTE probably 95% of the time. Wimax never was here for any practical purposes. Sprint has a little over 100 sites in the Omaha metro. Clearwire had a 4 site protection network.

    Read the first asterisks.

    Who is this "sonny" you refer to?
  4. Mr.Nuke
    If you are going to start a thread, please post something more substantially than a link.

    That isn't correct. Legacy backhaul upgrades are also shown as speed upgrades on that map as well. A 3G acceptance and a legacy backhaul upgrade would show up as 2 upgrades. Two legacy backhaul upgrades would show the same. None of the Victor/Farmington sites on network.sprint.com are LTE accepted.

    That is more or less what I was trying to say, not as well as you put it. I don't see how invoking variance helps his argument here. They're using median, a measure already designed to reduce the effects of variance. Added to that they're giving you 95% CI or error bars. Sprint's is approximately 20% smaller than T-Mobile. On both counts 1) the median d/l being about 1 mb/s higher and 2) standard deviation for Sprint's results being smaller, Sprint's download speeds are statistically significantly better. And yes, with the large sample size, similar results should be expected if the experiment was repeated.
  7. Mr.Nuke
    Yes and no. I'd tend to think the one that has the 1 mb/s greater median download with a 20% smaller 95% confidence interval likely has the faster download speed.

    I think the premise that the average wireless consumer knows where carriers rank nationally much less care is false. Same thing with Sprint's financial health. Your average consumer is looking for coverage that works for them and reliability.

    Both cities have multiple 8T8R sites broadcasting. Lincoln on a percentage basis is doing better than Omaha.

    This thread is closed for the foreseeable future. If you are interested in talking about T-Mobile you can continue to do so at S4GRU's new sister site T4GRU.

    T-mobile is maintaining a "substantial service" network for their PCS C block and AWS spectrum here with pretty much no one using it.They don't sell service to Omaha zipcodes so odds are if you hit a t-mobile tower in Omaha you are likely the only user on it. I have a feeling the distribution of rootmetric's speedtests is across the board for them, because there are wide swaths of the city where you won't get a signal. This is reflected in 1/5 of root metric's calls being dropped in their September tests.
  12. Mr.Nuke
    T-mobile runs a protection network in Omaha and doesn't sell service here. It is typically their worst market in root metrics testing results.
  13. Mr.Nuke
    Because a tower climber isn't an RF engineer.
  14. Mr.Nuke
    Regarding what?
  15. Mr.Nuke
    I'm not sure that conclusion can be drawn based off that article.

    I'm not in sales so I don't know what it means for certain, but I've seen this acronym with other sales positions. A logical guess would be something like large organization growth opportunities. Acquisition in this context would be Sprint hiring a bunch of new sales reps to go after (acquire) corporate accounts they currently don't have. I'm reasonably certain it has nothing to do with Sprint acquiring a company or the radio shack deal.

    A comment from S4GRU on a similar recent thread here.
  18. Mr.Nuke
    That for a company that is still struggling to turn a profit and has over $30 billion in long-term debt it is far more likely to be working capital or debt retirement on higher interest bonds.
  19. Mr.Nuke
    T-mobile only runs a protection network here. Others will argue bs about not having access to local numbers as a reason for not fully building out Omaha. But yes, Omaha is literally their worst market in the cities root metrics tests. http://www.rootmetrics.com/us/blog/special-reports/where-does-your-carrier-have-the-best-mobile-performance-us

    For whatever reason Samsung markets are switching to offset BSL locations. This has been observed in multiple markets over the past 6 weeks.

    Mine is still working on my Nexus 5.

    The stock was up 4.55% on a day when the market was down in regular trading though. The stock is down about 1% from where it opened today. The company reported losses greater than expected, the stock is going to drop. I think they're aware of this.
  23. Mr.Nuke
    First question on 2.5 Claure 1) Complete 800 mhz LTE, crucial to enhance in building coverage 2) leverage 2.5 for capacity issues 3) continous deployment of 2.5, accelerating deployment in customer target deployment. Start in 3-5 deployment markets but then roll-out to country (clarifying previous confusion)
  24. Mr.Nuke
    He said voice on 800 substantially completed this year, next year for Band 26 LTE, where both can be deployed. On 2.5, he reiterated going forward they are going to be looking at the network and deploying it to the places it is needed first, as well as having several cities that will serve as a proof of concept of a completed Sprint Spark market and marketing aggressively in those markets.
  25. Mr.Nuke
    73% of post-paid phone subscribers are on LTE.
