    BGR reports that sprint and Tmobile are finalizing merger talks in an all stock transaction... This is the basis of Google fi, and things are not so rosy with my fi phone.... Google prioritizes speed over reception and it default more towards Tmobile even if the signal reception is weak.. 

     

     

    This will be great if they can get it right, but bad for my sprint unlimited plan I think..... Anyone else.

    I was there for 4 days.  I had LTE on the street, but in many cases it was SLOW, SLOW, SLOW.  Like under 1 mbs.  I was rarely able to look at my security cameras at home.  Not enough bandwidth.  I get an e-mail when something moves in front of my security cameras. The e-mail contains a snapshot.  Not really a big file, but the photo did not snap up on the screen very fast like it does elsewhere.

    I can also go into my APP for the security system and pull a live video from a camera or a 20 second recording of what has happened to trigger the alarm.  This was most often totally useless.  It works other places, but not very well in Vegas on the strip.

    I was on Band 41 quite often, but there was practically no usable service.  Speedtest would not even run much of the time.

    I did see a second B-41 carrier sometimes but I never saw carrier aggregation.  I was not really there to diagnose the Sprint network, but I could not ever see aggregation on B-41 with my Galaxy S-7 using the debug screen(LTE engineering).

    As I was leaving and at McCarren airport, I did see 2xCA but even that was a little slow. It varied, but at about a 3mbs download average.

    McCarren has good Wi-Fi and people should connect to it, but the American population does not impress me with their intelligence.

    Hard to tell how many people were on Wi-Fi and how many on the Sprint B-41.  I can not believe that a 2xCA site can be overwhelmed like it appeared to be.  I have to wonder if they are activating the sites with insufficient backhaul.

     

    Remeber that some site use AT&T as the backhaul & when I was at Bally's last month service showed strong yet the reality was bad could not do much live streaming on facebook nor snapchats were failing to upload I have an HTC 10
