  1. Washington County Maryland is ShenTel. All along I 81 belongs to ShenTel right on up into central PA.

    I-68 in Washington County is USCC coverage only, no native Sprint signal until you get into Hancock. I-81 isn't the central PA I'm talking about - Places like Williamsport and State College and all of I-80 would do well under ShenTel's umbrella.

  2. The Shentel transcript did have an interesting nugget in there:

     

    Q

    "There has been some changes on the sprint side...work with some of the rural telcos to establish better partnership so -- can you give us an update that will be helpful."

    A

    "Well, to your last point first, we have been getting some phone calls...over the last 60 days from groups that are considering expanding their relationship with sprint. So we have been positive about that because we feel very positive about our current relationship with sprint.

    As far as expanding the area, those discussions are going forward...it is probably going to go relatively small initially to kind of lay the ground work...but then once the ground work is laid it will set the stage for continued expanding our relationship with sprint. And hopefully we will have something to share this year."

     

    I personally would like to see Shentel take over central VA, PA, and NY.

  3. Well, I just moved for a job...

    Fortunately its from one excellent Sprint coverage area to another. I have been driving around a lot of Winchester, VA and see almost exclusively 10x10 B25. I also found a couple areas with B41.

     

    Interestingly I was in Toys R US July 25th and also experienced (similar to what derrph said) really slow to no connection despite good signal and 15 Mbs download on speed test.

  4. I wonder why sprint is opting out of the Das and instead using repeaters. Is it time to deploy, money, or incompatible frequency? It can't be solely money as sprint would be splitting the cost with the other 3.

     

    I also think it's funny that half of the article was sprint news and a sprint spokesman was quoted. Methinks that giant sprint sign on Mt Washington is working.

  5. Clear's network was insufficient because they ran out of money during buildout, in fact that's how Robert got his start before this website came into existence (tracking WiMAX rollout).

    If Saw didn't have the capital or the tools to do his job then he can't do the job.

     

     

    Its crazy to think just how much $$$ it takes to build cellular networks in the US (and how picky US cell customers are). If US Cellular's investment was in Mexico or the UK they would probably have ubiquitous LTE.

  6. So apple is opening up Siri to devs and maybe iMessage for Android? Is an Alexa competitor in the pipeline too?

    I am personally creeped out by an always on concierge device in my living room...they'll all learn about my plans to take over the world!

  7. I've been reading posts in other markets where they're ragging on Sprint coverage and performance. I'd just like to point out that I traverse across downtown and the northside daily, live in the southern suburbs, and occasionally go to the western suburbs...I've not seen 3G in years and the service is more reliable than in-building WiFi. 

    Sprint hasn't won Rootmetrics in Pittsburgh but for me the service is fantastic and I pay <$100 a month all in for 2 lines.

  8. Haha I just saw that last night and took a picture of it, but forgot to post it. Is that the old Bayer sign?

    Yes, this is what it looks like during the day...And for some reason the city wants to keep it looking like this
