  1. I agree. I have a big problem with a corporate overlord overtly "influencing" me. Seems like giving into hive mentality which all Sci fi movies warn against... Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  2. I thought this was a good article about sprint branding to the young ones... https://thenextweb.com/contributors/2017/08/24/how-sprint-leveraged-gen-z-to-pivot-their-brand/#.tnw_umzAKZuu I've not personally seen any of this advertising but I don't subscribe to influencers any of that type of marketing, has anyone else?

  3. It seems people are confusing an airrave for magic box. Magic box isn't a solution for low outdoor signal and speeds won't dramatically increase if the feeder signal is marginal (or if the source is 5x5 b25). If service is poor outside, the box won't create fiber fed service, u need an airrave Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  4. If I recall correctly, you live within shentel coverage. This may be the reason why no one has contacted. I live within shentel's footprint too and also requested a magic box the second I read about it on this forum. I haven't received any communication from Sprint aside from the acknowledgement email.

  5. Thats a great shentel speed test! Does anyone know if there have been magic boxes approved for those living in shentel areas? Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  6. I did this for my father about a year ago (iPhone se) . As soon as I left thier house, he had problems with the phone and being an android guy myself... I couldn't troubleshoot or navigate the menus over the phone. He ended up taking the phone back and getting a Samsung J3, set it to easy mode, and he's fine. Plus I can help navigate menus with him if needed. That was my experience. Those new moto e4 phones are cheap with a smaller screen size than most Android phones today too.

  7. Good on ya sprint! I'd like to see more twice the price advertisement... I think it's a really effective message. Like tmo did, sprint should really turn on the advertising jets Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  8. Looks like a future plan actually happened... https://www.wirelessweek.com/news/2017/07/sprint-teams-great-north-woods-wireless-provide-lte-roaming-new-hampshire I'll be driving to visit my parents in Coos County next week too! Bad part is that we'll be making a 14 hr drive with a 2 and 6 year old and a dog. [emoji22][emoji21] I'll report back with results, if I'm still alive/sane Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  9. The Reuters [actually this article was the one: http://deadline.com/2017/07/sprint-chairman-masayoshi-son-talking-warren-buffett-john-malone-deal-1202129053/ article mentioned buffett and malone buying some of masa's stake in sprint for up to $20 billion Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  10. Here comes the buffett... I wonder if the Comcast /charter talks aren't proving to be as promising as hoped https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/2017/07/14/john-malone-warren-buffett-sprints-son-are.amp.html Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  11. Wow, that's a cool way to say thanks. Is there a catch? There doesnt seem to be anything in the fine print Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  12. Likely means it's working while saving money on acquisition costs. I think the plan is genius... It's essentially the same as buying out a contract or paying customers to switch without actually having to spend any money. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  13. Local FL paper had a nice write up/summary of the current sprint talks. Interesting to read that Charter took out bonds for $1.5 billion on Tuesday... http://www.heraldtribune.com/news/20170629/lappin-new-wrinkle-in-sprints-future-is-emerging Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  14. Obvious and true. Sprint didn't spend much of any Capex in 2016, and added 1 million+ customers. When looking at the charts I don't see that the network performance decreased... It just flatlined. Hopefully that means good things now as they are spending $$$ again. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  15. Spoken like an honest troll, I'd classify you as the persistent debate troll: This type of troll loves a good argument. They can take a great, thoroughly researched and fact-based piece of content, and come at it from all opposing discussion angles to challenge its message. They believe they're right, and everyone else is wrong. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  16. What I read, I think on the Verge write up is that Rubin said he wantes to put the phone on the best network for the future... That I think has made a lot of t-mobile fanbois cry out in terror/ or anger Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  17. The tidal x sprint commercial is not something I'd expect from Sprint... Feels more like a tmo spot, but it is refreshing https://ispot.tv/a/wZ47
  18. I read (a little) about rrc release from eNB to UE in context of a data session. Is the eNB equipment fast enough to issue an RRC release with carrier balancing to not cause the call to fail? I know loading a web page or video can lag a little and it's not a big deal, but if that occurs on a voice call would it drop, or suffer decrease quality? Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  19. I remember multiple posts from you about the lack of LTE in lower DE. I'm glad its getting better for you.
  20. I had an (on purpose) 1 day layover in Boston with my family a few weeks ago and hit all of the touristy areas I could. Harvard, Aquarium, Faneuil and the Sprint phones worked great. I honestly didn't even think about my service because it worked everywhere I went.
  21. Wow guys, more complaining than actual discussion. I guess misery loves company. Maybe they could rebrand to: frustrated incorporated. I think they might already have a theme song from the 90's. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  22. My friend Mr. Google showed me. It was an image search of shentel fiber map Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  23. I'm not exactly sure. I know shentel has quite of bit of fiber in the area, but so does at&t. It would be a head scratcher if shentel was directly feeding the towers and still restrict the bandwidth to their customers (via sprint). Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  24. I haven't received a call either. I'm in a b25/26 only neighborhood as b41 doesn't reach here. I have a feeling I'm gonna be referred to an airrave 3 or nothing at all. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  25. That's interesting that you're getting high speeds. Since I've moved to shentel land even with B41 2xCA, 10x10 B25 I've never had speeds above 5 to 8 mb/s down. I think the back haul just isn't scaled to the full potential of those technologies Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
