  1. I have been using T-Mobile home internet for a year now. I was forced to drop Hulu and switch to YouTube TV because Hulu live is blocked due to the geographic area reported from the T-Mobile connection. YouTube doesn't have this limitation for live TV. Wonder if T-Mobile/Hulu have addressed this issue.
  2. https://www.lightreading.com/open-ran/charter-poised-to-pass-dish-as-nation-s-largest-mvno Competition seems alive and well. No love lost for Charlie Ergen after living thru his endless local TV carriage disputes.
  3. I've been using T-Mobile home internet for a month now. This is typical in the middle of the day. No drop outs or outages so far. At $25/month you can't beat it.
  4. So it turns out the standoff between the FAA and FCC over C band was totally unnecessary. Could have been solved with $26M that could have easily come from the proceeds of the auction. https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/faa-says-26m-will-cover-costs-prevent-5g-interference
  5. I took T-Mobile up on their $25/month home internet deal. Just connected yesterday and have been using it all morning. I get about 550 down, 70 up with 19 mS latency. Full time WFH with a virtual desktop and Zoom calls all day. I'll use it for the next couple weeks. Can't beat this deal with no contract. Would love to send Spectrum packing with their $80 basic internet service.
  6. I finally received an email yesterday announcing my Sprint account will have a new look, T-Mobile.
  7. If you stood on the street corner handing out $20 bills to anyone that walked by eventually someone would complain that it wasn't $50. There is always someone with a sad face.

  9. I received constant text messages to switch to the T-Mobile SIM last November which I did. I also replaced two phones that were not supported by T-Mobile. Here I am almost one year later still on the Sprint billing system patiently waiting.
  10. I was at the Makers Mark distillery a couple weeks back and had no signal. Not too far from Bardstown.

  13. Am I the only one tired of these super bowl stories? This event is for the elites who can afford to spend $5000 for a ticket to a 3 hr show.
  14. I swapped out all my Sprint SIMs with T-Mobile back in early November and the message on the Sprint site say they will notify me when they are ready to migrate my account. Anyone know when T-Mobile will start migrating accounts over?
  15. Any chance the iOS 15.2 update enabled the 5G 2.5 GHz CA? Also, do you need an iPhone 13 to go beyond 100 MHz?
  16. Press releases are nice but is anyone actually using Dish? Have they published any subscriber counts?
  17. Apple released 12.1.1 beta 3 yesterday. Anyone try it on something lower than an iPhone 8? Curious if VoLTE support is expanding to older models. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios_release_notes/ios_12_1_1_beta_3_release_notes
  18. Charter has announced speed increases for several markets recently. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Leak-Heres-the-New-Charter-Gigabit-Markets-Launching-Next-Week-140899 This forum has actual results from users in those markets http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31733904-HSI-Charter-speed-increases
  19. I'm making a trip to southeast KY next month. What's the chances of any native Sprint coverage in Hazard county?
  20. Try driving on Route 80 through Pennsylvania. You can drive east from the Ohio border about 200 miles before you'll find any LTE. My money is on Pennsylvania being last.
  21. I don't view this as a "Rant" He shared some real world observations that others can use to make an informed decision. I for one found this valuable information.
  22. And now, back to our regularly scheduled program....
  23. I couldn't agree more. I get the need for permits, back haul, site owners permission etc. But the fact is there are dozens of sites in and around Columbus with equipment in place (some since August) which implies approved permits are in hand. These same sites are next to major roadways or commercial office buildings which implies fiber back haul is available nearby. Quite a number of these sites have back haul spotted by readers here. If they had no plans on turning all this new equipment on within a month or two then why waste the technicians time installing it then? Send those techs down to Ross county back in September not now. I joined Sprint two months back with my eyes wide open after reading this forum to save money and kick Verizon to the curb. I still believe this was the correct decision. My only disappointment is the priorities that Sprint is choosing and their lack of transparency. Now if I can find a way to kick TWC and their ridiculous "equipment rental fee" to the curb then 2014 is shaping up to be a great year.
  24. Beaver, OH - population 444 Bainbridge, OH - population 856 Jackson, OH - population 6,336 6 towers, 7,636 people and how many are Sprint customers? *slow clap indeed*
