What speeds are you getting?
Speed test were only like 5mbps I’m assuming the site was congested or maybe I had a weak signal. -
OMG!! Did this happen today?

I don’t know exactly when it happened. I just happened to check out of curiosity. Looks like they are doing it in clusters near downtown. The sites near my house is still 10x10. -
Looks like Jacksonville has been upgraded to 15x15.-

Well, I'm still setting up my phone, but so far, I love it.
Seems like it’s a great device. I love the OLED screen. I was just looking at one in Target yesterday. -
Anyone with an iPhone on here actually get a call on VoLTE on Sprint?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
I have once. I had a situation where I was on a WiFi call and walked out of WiFi coverage. I was shifted to LTE. While on that LTE call it dropped. The person called me back and the call was received on LTE. I haven’t been able to duplicate it since. -
That at your house or something?

No that was at my sister in law house. I get band 26 inside my home. Not a lot going on in my area. My area is not as populated as her area. -
I’ve weathered the storm. Now it’s all sunshine and rainbows.-

AT&T was able to change their image due to the iPhone, Tmobile due to the so-called crooked wireless contracts. Perhaps Sprint game changer is 5G in early 2019. If they launch a 5G spotty network then they are finished. John Saw has a huge responsibility on his hands regarding the future of this company.
If Sprint really can launch 5G NR with a software upgrade. Like they say they can. Sprint should have a pretty solid 5G network rolling out the gates.-

Someone’s going to jump too soon like Sprint did with WiMAX and get burned.

Some studies on taxing churches showed we could bring tax rates as low as 7 percent if we taxed churches.

This should have happened years ago.

I think that they were using Net Neutrality sarcasm.
-
I think secretly. The big corporations (Google, Amazon and Facebook) wanted Net Neutrality to be repealed. They have enough money to put up a fight against the FCC and didn’t. I think they wanted to see Net Neutrality repealed to keep their place in the top spot. Those corporations can pay their way through anything.
-
That will not happen. You are not going to charge the end user for 100 mbs for part of the internet and then 10 for everything else unless they end users pays again to get it back up to 100. That would run into all kinds of legal issues and in against the pre-2015 FCC rules governing broadband that we are reverting too.
So what positives (for consumers) do you think can come out of ending Net Neutrality?
-
No, that’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m for companies giving people what they want at prices they want to pay.
I support easier market entry, faster permitting processes and other pro-competition factors which enable more market participants to allow for a greater level of competition overall.
Ultimately through this process, people will select what they want for what they want to pay and be satisfied. This happens with enough choice and competition.
Well, I guess everyone has an opinion. If I don’t like it I won’t buy the services. Unfortunately the internet has become an important part of people’s lives. Most people need it. Depending on your age it’s all some people know. I could probably do without it if I need to. -
Ummm... I think you dont understand what is going on. If ISPs want to charge you more, they would raise your price. There isn't anything in title 2 that prevents that. Pay lanes are nothing to be afraid of, it just garantees that services that are in high demand don't suffer during peak times.
What happens when your internet package looks like a cable tv package? -
For the life of me I can't figure out how people were thinking net neutrality was going to solve a municipality granting exclusive rights to a single isp instead of having a open market. Sorry but that's the fault of your local governments.
Repealing it is going to add additional players into the market? -
Price ensures supply and capacity. That’s just what it is for anything. We’d like to think of the Internet infrastructure as limitless, but it’s not. It’s a limited resource like anything else.
If something is too cheap, there won’t ever be enough of it and there won’t be enough of an incentive to produce it or supply it in quantity.
Most conversations I’ve had about markets and supply/capacity starts with:
“Why can’t we give everyone “X” for “Y”?”
And ends with:
“Why can’t we give everyone “X” for “Y”?”
Things exist and are often better because people are willing to pay more. It also ensures adequate supply for them.
This applies to mailing a letter. Pick your delivery time. There isn’t enough capacity to make all letters express next day and the cost structure can’t support it. However for the people that opt in, there’s enough supply/capacity.
This applies to Sprint with its Ultra HD add-on for $10/Month. It’s there if you want it. There likely isn’t enough capacity to make all users Ultra HD, but there is for those expected number who opt-in for it.
With enough competition, people ultimately get what they want for what they want to pay.
People should have the option to pay to avoid cat video congestion if they’re working on mission critical work (in their minds at least) for example.
You are in support of the large ISPs charging the American people more. Go and look at their market cap and their quarterly reports. They are making more than enough money.
Your argument is like saying the government is spending more and more money to the American people should pay more and more taxes. The government should get their spending under control.
The ISPs don’t have that problem because they are taking billions to the bank quarterly. -
If you want to show Comcast/Verizon and the others how you feel, close your wallet and walk away.
I have in the past and will in the future. I’m not loyal to any company. I would like to use any company I want. Unfortunately the way our ISPs are setup by region I can’t do that.
Only if other people in America boycott and start dropping some of these greedy corporations things will change a lot faster.

Yup. 5G Fixed Wireless is ultimately where T-Mobile is going for its TV venture with Layer 3.
Comcast/Verizon will be cut out of the loop entirely, as you won’t need a wireline, and there’s your competition.
Perhaps Sprint will get in on this as well with its trove of 2.5 GHz spectrum.
Best thing to do is support local officials that want to expedite the permitting and it’ll all happen sooner.
Haha. [emoji23] You have it all figured out. Only time will tell. -
Actions can be taken at the local level to improve competition in those markets.
Yeah. Like that’s going to happen. Most of the local level governments are a part of the reason that most Americans don’t have multiple broadband options.-

A couple pieces for your consideration:
http://pinetreepolitics.bangordailynews.com/2017/11/29/relax-your-internet-will-be-just-fine/
https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/industry-voices-gillott-time-to-take-a-breath-and-chill-about-net-neutrality
Sprint offers HD Video with Unlimited Freedom at 1080P. And if you want to, now you can pay $10/Month per line for Ultra HD Video.
We all remember when Unlimited Freedom was rolled out with Mobile Optimized Video and it was a $20/Month Add-On for HD Video per line.
There was competition from other carriers with better plan pricing/features, and Sprint responded by including HD Video for free and matching the 10 GB Hotspot offered.
I don’t see this being any different. The FTC’s job is to ensure there’s enough competition for that to happen.
Many areas don’t have competition when it comes to wireline ISPs. So they will have no one to respond to.-

Good Bye Net Neutrality, it was nice while you lasted and protected the free internet.

It still has to go through Congress. Fingers crossed. -
I concur! If it’s true then I can see Sprint flipping that VoLTE switch in 2018
I’d buy a new phone just for it.

Sprint has been performing very well here lately. I don’t know if Sprint has upgraded any new sites with band 41. My experience has been great. I drove from Jax to Washington DC I held on to LTE probably 90% of the time. I was shocked especially in the rural areas we traveled through. My kids on T-Mobile was bouncing all over the place from LTE to No Service to 4G. Their signals were all over the place. Also while in the DMV area LTE on Sprint was solid.
