That was back on 2014,a lot has changed in the last two years. -
I understand the third carrier is appearing everywhere, but it's not aggregated yet. Sprint needs to win some network PR stunts against Tmobile.
-
Talking and being deployed commercially are different things. Two years ago they even had a 2 gigabits trial with Nokia in the lab. Customers are not interested in labs PR stunts. Being the first carrier deploying 200 to 300 megabits down commercially score you a lot of positive feedbacks especially when your reputation is the slower carrier in America.
-
I agree with your sentiment, but Tmobile is not holding back one bit. They are already talking about 3 carrier aggregation with 4x4 MIMO tech to produce 300 Mbps speeds. This is one of the issues I have with Sprint, they brag a lot regarding being spectrum rich, and now the scrappy carrier is going to the front lines about deploying extreme speeds. Will Sprint win the LTE speeds war? possible, but the pink carrier is not holding back. They are extremely aggressive when it comes to deployment of new LTE techs.
-
I am a Sprint kool-aid drinker but this one take it to another level. Coverage is extremely important, but then again the others three can run ads against Sprint inferior coverage.
-
Verizon is run by people that think short term, They should spend their resources on FIOS buildout. With Streaming services kicking into high gear, fiber to the home is the new frontier.
-
Good.
-
They wont be a threat to the Duopoly with a 1.3 billions on Capex per quarter. Hell they even spend less than Sprint on network, but for some reason they get better results.
-
They know how to do marketing, and they market themselves as the cool kid. People want to hang out with the cool kids not with the boring ones(Sprint etc) Personally I don;t like Legere,but he knows a lot about marketing. He has used marketing tools, ( Uncarrier 1-10, BingON etc to gives the company momentum until they have a superior network and take out Sprint. Let's be clear here, Tmobile will never touch Verizon and AT&T, but Sprint is vulnerable. Sprint mostly customers losses go to Tmobile.
-
We can argue anything, but it comes down to customer experience, and right now Tmobile is the carrier covering all the checklists in a customer eyes. Sprint burned a lot of bridges over the years, and many customers will not forget that regardless of what we say here.
-
magentans says Sprint truly coverage is only 270 millions pops. I will leave the coverage stuff for the experts, but Verizon is the only carrier that cover the most mass land in the United States. Pops and mass land coverage are different things in their eyes.
-
They truly have huge momentum, and they are not slowing down, they keep adding almost a million of phone customers, expanding their coverage etc. Their churn is 1.33% higher compared to the twin bells, but it seems most of the customers they are taking are coming from Sprint. ATT and Verizon profits are hardly impacted.
-
I understand Sprint is moving fast to 3x carrier aggregation, but the sooner the better. Sprint being the first carrier in the US to have 200 to 300 megabits down helps a lot in the PR and images department.
-
Anyone noticed the 2.6ghz thread on the tmobile subreddit ? seems the fans over there want a piece of the 2.5-2.6ghz spectrum and rebranded to band 7. Of course Sprint number one hater Cabian_Cortez is hoping Sprint fold .

I saw construction for a small cell in Lincoln Square, I don't know if it is Sprint or Verizon but I am sure is one of the two.

The listening tour lost its credibility when he decided to carry a TV crew to record the whole thing. If you wanted to listen to customers you could had done that while your assistant takes notes. You didn't need to prove the whole industry that you are traveling around America's top notch cities listening to customers from every carrier about what they want from their carrier. Most wireless customers except the tiny minority that is part of the magentan cult simple want their service to work to make phone calls, text and data anytime they need it regardless where they are. In a simple terms just be the dumb pipe. Customers want that, and be treated with respect from their carrier that's all. Ever since Legere started throwing candy around many especially tech blogs are treating wireless service as something different. Seems the used car salesman techniques have worked on the sheep.
-
But the bills weren't due, but now are coming especially with the first one by year's end with a whopping 3 billions amount due.
-
Get out of the spotlight, you will never be Legere with the clean cut professional look. Spend your time and energy on the Sprint native footprint network. If my network is fast in Las Vegas, why is so mediocre in El Paso Texas. Regardless Sprint is handicapped with that 32 billions debt. That is why they can't do expansions, faster deployments, acquisitions, better marketing tools etc.
-
That man has always been classy, it just the management team and board messed his vision. When Legere went into a 12 months rant against Sprint Hesse never bothered to respond to him.
-
I always felt that Sprint management and their mediocre marketing efforts need to lay low until the network is a great story, and their 32 billions debt issue is resolved. Marcelo is an amateur, every six months we get a big fumble from him. Last year, the collapse of him on Twitter against Legere because of prices, then the all in promo with 600k throttling video speeds, and now this. Magenta is a cult, and they just sit there waiting for a little social media mistake to throw you their media tech blogs at you. The only way Sprint will beat Tmobile is if they have a better network, faster speeds and better coverage the rest is irrelevant, just ask Verizon and AT&T.
-
With its financial problems Sprint only needs sure products on their shelfs (IPhone, Galaxy and the note lines). Sprint network is improving, but it's balance sheet is a mess. The previous management didn't fix the network or the company financial problems, they just kicked the can down the road.
-
This report pretty much tells what will happen the rest of the way. SPRINT ain't gonna pass Tmobile in NYC Tri state , Philadelphia, DC, Boston, Los Angeles, and Dallas Forth worth Sprint will beat Tmobile in Chicago, Kansas city, and Houston. The problem with Sprint is, they threaten for the number 1 spot in markets like Cincinnati, Dayton and Pittsburgh then drop down. There is not consistency besides Denver and Las Vegas.
-
And with the current Sprint rate plans there is not point to stay with Verizon. Now we can talk what we already knew, this is why Verizon is attacking Sprint now.
-
Bottom line is, Verizon see Sprint as a threat now otherwise they wouldn't spend once cent attacking them. To me Sprint is taking Verizon customers, and not the other way around like it has been for the last 8 years. Looks like Massa was right calling Marcelo a street fighter once he handed him the keys.
