Sprints "LTE Plus" is capable of well over 100 mbps. 147 is near the upper limit of the capabilities of B41 2xCA. -Anthony

I feel like one of the reasons why T-Mobile customers are on LTE so much is because most of T-Mobiles customers live in the city, where they have LTE coverage. Most rural customers probably have Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint, because T-Mobile was never worth a damn in rural areas (until recently). The other three more-or-less have signal in most rural areas, which, for Sprint, may or may not be LTE, which causes their on LTE percentages to drop a bit. T-Mobiles customers are in much greater numbers in city centers, whereas the other 3 cariers have a much more spread out customer base. -Anthony

I haven't had any issues at all. Using a non-S iPhone 6 Plus. -Anthony

My 6 Plus hasn't had any problems on beta 2. I actually hit a new record last night, 9 hours 2 minutes usage, 28 hours 29 minutes standby with 16% battery left. -Anthony EDIT: I am also on WiFi most of the time, but my phone is connected to LTE on the macro network when I am on WiFi at home.

You seem to confuse jerkiness with sarcasm. AJ was making a sarcastic remark. Jerkiness implies ill intent, which is something AJ was not in possession of. -Anthony

To be honest, with as long as it has been since this news came out, and how big of news this is, it definitely would have been a good idea to at least search the site a little to see if there was already a thread about it. A quick 30 second search would have shown there was already a thread talking about this, and probably would have taken less time than it took to make the new thread. -Anthony

But what about those of us who actually like to drive? -Anthony

What carrier do they have you on? -Anthony

My classes tomorrow at UNCC got canceled already too. We're supposed to get "2-10" (yes, two to ten) inches of snow and 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice. -Anthony

Some say Sprint could be around 40-50% complete. It's only been about a year since they strated rolling out 8t8r on sites, so they're not making too bad of progress. -Anthony

Permitting is probably the biggest hold back. -Anthony

I'm pretty sure that once work begins on a tower to install the 8T8R panels that it's like max 3-4 days per tower, IIRC. Someone else feel free to chime in if I'm wrong . -Anthony

Or Sprint makes the TDD ratio more upload oriented, even though they never will because there is no reason to. -Anthony

iOS 9.2.1 is old news. iOS 9.3 beta 1.1 is all the rage nowadays. -Anthony

Not sure how you would expect a company to make money when they are offering extremely aggressively priced cellular plans that don't make money, and on top of that, are doing a nationwide roll out and expansion of new technologies. Sprint isn't going to start making money until they cut costs considerably, and they start gaining large amounts of subscribers. -Anthony

Did you happen to turn on WiFi calling? -Anthony

We still have a ton of sites around the Charlotte area that still have Nextel iDEN equipment on them. I'm crossing my fingers that Sprint will strongly consider these sites as places for desification during NGN. -Anthony

Oh my, did AJ "like" another post? It must really be a new year! -Anthony

And you never will see anything better than the ED plans. They were/are the greatest deal you can get, and it would be crazy for Sprint, or any other carrier, to offer something similar for the same price. They would lose too much money. -Anthony

Yeah here in North Carolina, all we're getting is rain and temps in the 70's. I want my Winter -Anthony

If he has a single band device, then it will always show 1x and LTE. -Anthony

My family and I are definitely one of those people. -Anthony

I'm pretty sure one of our members said that they had Band 41 up and running at the convention and that the network was working rather well the entire time. -Anthony

The broken field test bug is only a problem on 6s's and 6s plusses, IIRC. I've never had it on my 6 Plus. -Anthony

No. The iPhone 5 was the first LTE capable iPhone. The original iPhone was only capable of GSM/EDGE. The iPhone 3G was capable of, you guessed it, 3G, or HSDPA. The iPhone 3GS was capable of of 7.2 Mbps HSDPA. The iPhone 4 was basically the same, network wise, as the 3GS, but a mid-year refresh of it brought along the first CDMA capable iPhone, but was only CDMA 1x and CDMA EVDO. The iPhone 4S brought along the first "all-in-one" iPhone, being that it was both GSM and CDMA capable all in the same device, where-as before the 4S(and after), you had to get a separate device to use the other network technologies. And the 4S also included HSPA+, which is what may have made a lot of people think that it was LTE capable, because iOS 6, I believe, brought along a "4G" network indicator, but only on AT&T. Then the iPhone 5 rolled out, which brought along LTE connectivity. And the rest is history (all newer models i.e. 5S, 6, 6S, all brought along added LTE bands and capabilities like CA and VoLTE). Just a quick history lesson, if anyone is interested. -Anthony
