Maybe they are acting like that because they want to catch the competitors off guard. Maybe Softbank already put the funds on the side.

That 600mhz auction is extremely important for the future of wireless.

Sprint might be the only carrier to keep unlimited data longer since they own an average of 120mhz 2.5ghz Spectrum.

I have an unlimited plan with Sprint not because I want to consume 10 to 20gbs every month,but because I don't want to worry about overages. Regardless I only use less than 3gbs every month.I use WiFi only at home.

Correct me if I m wrong,why the critics say that Sprint without a very dense band 41 network is in big trouble aND it wI'll take 7 years. I understand they need to dense the network,but every week we see new rootmetrics.Com reports about tied for 1st or or two.

The network is improving at a fast pace compared with a year ago,but the mangetrolls are in denial.

Large battery life(I am a heavy user) and Carrier aggregation 20+20+20(2.5ghz)

I said it from the beginning Sprint is going to win the capacity war, but but but Tmobile is faster now.(sarcastic)

Every week rootmetrics.com is releasing new markets results, and Sprint network is improving at a rapid pace. Las Vegas came out today, and Sprint is already tied for number one.

Hey magentrolls in John Legere we trust. Glad Massa never got Tmobile, I never wanted that slime Saint John Legere to run the combined company.

Unbiased review about galaxy 6 running on the Sprint Network (San Francisco). Things are changing dramatically, and only the magentrolls are stuck in the past.

The speeds are fine, but Sprint has a perception problem as the slower LTE network in America. With carrier aggregation coming shortly, hopefully third party studies see the change as faster network then the company is on the road to recovery of Postpaid smartphone customers.

I don't want this to happen to shut up the critics, but for the health of the company.

A slogan in ads with the faster LTE network in America would help a lot.

I hung out in Manhattan today with some friends and had a Sprint Band 41 signal at Columbus Circle. Speeds were about 6 Down and 7 Up. That second carrier couldn't come sooner.

That is the problem of having too many MVNOs in my opinion. I think it's time for sprint to kick out some of those MVNOs.

Huge improvement, going from 86 to a 92 overall score. The network is improving significant everywhere.

Seems Sprint markets are improving in a daily basis, but the T-trolls are in denial.

Congrats St Lakes first Sprint speed and data performance win.

Maybe once Sprint add three 20mhz carriers we will have an understanding of how faster they will. Now many of the users use sprint LTE as their main Internet provider.

These people tethering 24/7 should be kicked out. When the tmobile trolls care about only speed is because they are using their lines as hotspots.

.

how do you seem to know this? Sprint has fast LTE its called spark, and spark where its available ive gotten almost 60 down and 20 up on Spark before no problem. Also Sprints 1900 LTE is fast 35 down and 9 up is what I get all the time, its plenty fast for normal users.

 

Sprint has the capabilities of being faster than the competition, but due to the fact many sites still lacking fiber backhaul, a network that is not dense enough (yet), and many of the 8T8R 2.5gz towers that backhaul is not upgraded yet. Because of what I mentioned I don't see them getting into the whole faster network until late next year.

Don't count on Sprint to be as fast or faster than the competition until late 2016.

China Telekom is already testing the tech of Fdd TDD carrier aggregation FDD-TDD LTE carrier aggregation demo with China Telecom:

I think sprint should go to court over this. Obviously they are using the newest equipment on the market. I said it before I will say it again they see Sprint as a big threat since they own a big pile of Spectrum. 

So when this list will be updated? Sprint has completed a lot of upgrades in every market since November 2014.

Let's see when these phones reach the FCC, and if it will support 2 or 3 sprint carrier aggregations. I am sure it will support two, but not out the box(firmware)

Seems the network vision is starting to pay off in big cities . San Antonio joins Chicago as a Sprint strong market http://www.rootmetrics.com/us/rsr/san-antonio-tx/2015/1H

We don't need this distraction again. Sprint needs to continue working on their 2.5ghz and 800 LTE deployments. This type of thing would only work if a Republican administration takes over in January of 2017.we don't know how the political climate will play out.

Any rational person that knows business should had known that the uncarrier stuff was to make tmobile attractive for a sale. I am sure the twin bells lobby money will push for a merger to go through since they want the status quo and higher prices.

Since I am Spanish, the commercial is pretty much straight forward. He detailed the benefits of the 20gbs plan in a few seconds. If the network is good in the South West, and West coast they will pick a lot of customers in Latino community.

El Paso, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Miami, Los Angeles, San Diego, etc.

The twin bells are cleaning house, and I bet they cockblocked tmobile in markets like Cincinnati, Spartanburg SC etc. They know where tmobile needs more AWS for wideband. Att probably came with a vengeance.

I wonder which one of the twin bells got the 10x10 J block in New York City.

We knew about two 20mhz going live this year, but what surprised me is they are working on 3 more starting next year. I think Marcelo is downplaying the faster speed plans. I think they want to come out of nowhere, and squeeze the competition.

This should be Sprint commercial once Spark is over 90% of Sprint network.

Morgan Freeman narrating while two average customers are driving through The U.S.

Freeman:Through the last four years we have been building a new network from the ground up, with the latest technology to provide you with realibity calls, text, and data.... And we are finally there.

Sprint the faster LTE network in North America.

Some of Sprint network guys spoke recently regarding the company LTE plans.

In a quick-fire presentation giving a holistic view of LTE strategy, Marquardt shared insight into Sprint’s view of LTE-Advanced enabling technologies, which is being commonly referred to as Spark. Spark is an enhanced LTE technology and spectrum integration initiative, which combines Tri-band/HD voice devices, TDD, Carrier aggregation, MIMO and 8T8R.

“We have 2 carrier aggregation deployments live in the network at the moment, and we’re working on 3 more for next year. FDD/TDD combinations are something we’re looking at for spectrum optimisation, and something that will really benefit the customer experience.”
