  1. I had a question about the new unlimited data throttling policy. I realize that they're saying new customers and upgrading customers on unlimited plans will start to get throttled in congested areas after 23 gigs of data, but for the people who are not involved in that does that mean we don't get throttle at all? I remember reading somewhere in the terms and conditions when I signed my contract a while back that there would be throttling in congested areas. So what does this mean for people who are not put in this new category of throttling? Also does this mean if you simply by your device out right and don't upgrade through a sprint payment plan that you're still exclusivity from this new throttling ?
  2. I have an iPhone 6s. I need to update that info.
  3. I live in the Charlotte area to and I have a question. Why is it that even when I'm in an LTE area, I generally have to toggle airplane mode? Whenever I do toggle it and get LTE, I generally hold onto it but I think it's odd if I going to building and then it switches to 3G which I understand because of the spectrum, I come out I still have to toggle airplane mode. Other carriers that I've had in the past generally just grab the LTE signal and hold onto it. For whatever reason I'm just curious as to why Sprint is different. I think back in 2012 when network vision started a representative told me that it was just growing pains and fine-tuning of the network, that should not be more or less settled at this point? Also, does anyone know when or if Sprint will get voice over LTE for iPhone?
  4. Do they have any throttling terms? I was only curious because of Verizon's recent announcement that they would not throttle unlimited lte users. Why would the fcc crack down on them an none of the other carriers? They all claim to use network optimization tactics at heart, yet it's obviou they would like to improve their revenue stream.
  5. I've been reading the fine print here and there. Does the unlimited my way plan get throttled? Or is it just the iPhone plan? I'm Trying to decide if they all get throttled or just some. Thanks.
  6. I know that the coverage is going to be all about capacity instead of range, but does anyone know what kind of range were talking about when it comes to that particular spectrum? Potentially adding more years to the network overhaul?
  7. So after reading around, am I correct in thinking that spark (band 41) will be deployed on EVERY single site sprint has at some point in the future? Or just where clearwire's footprint was before?
  8. When you say that iPhone doesn't put it as a priority, do you mean it has to addressed in a software update? Or a future version of the handset?
  9. Even more good news. Isn't band 41 the spark variety? Also if I were to upgrade to an iPhone 6, would the extra bands help with call reception/dropped calls, or only data?
  10. That's great news. But just because they can deploy doesn't mean they will though right? Not if the operating costs out weigh their benefits?
  11. Thanks man. I'm sure hoping so. Probably not in Mooresville though.pretty sure the clearwire spectrum is primarily in the Charlotte area. I'm not really familiar with band 26 though. Is that a higher or lower frequency? I just can't figure out that 800mhz here in town. It's everywhere, but not turned on or showing on the maps. I have a hard time thinking they'd come to town, upgrade the towers, then come back later for 800mhz lte. Maybe that's the case though. Who knows.
  12. Agreed. I only ask because in up in the air as to whether any thing would improve in the area. Woukd the new bands in the new iPhone potential help? I thought it would only help me pick up spark. They was an enormous amount of Nextel spectrum here in Iredell, because the sherries department used it.
  13. Im noticing that there is no 800mhz lte in the Charlotte/Mooresville area in nc. Is there going to be a rollout of that or spark in the future? We had a lot of Nextel spectrum when it was in use, so where'd it go lol? I spoke to a customer service rep and he seemed to not know what I was talked by about. Any help would be great. Thanks
  14. And as a second part, the Bradley school road tower in Mooresville just came online today. Would I be able to reach that tower from my location? I haven't gotten any lte at home, but I'm basically perfectly in the middle of the two towers in town. At times I have full bars, so I'm assuming that kte would reach, or am I out of its range at 6-7 miles?
  15. According to this pic off of the network/sprint site, there is a tower in the heart of Mooresville next to the location indicator. In previous months it had disappeared, but I knew that I had seen it a while ago. Now it's back. It's also not listed on the nv sites complete map. Robert do you know why this tower would have vanished the reappeared? And if you can find it, is it part of network vision or is it something else entirely? Could it be a Nextel 800 that is, or has been converted? Any help is appreciated, as this has stumped me for some time. Initially I just believed that had seen it this tower, but when it vanished I wrote it off. I knew I had seen it though!
