    Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

    in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment

    Posted

    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.

    Unrelated to Sprint, anybody here from San Antonio that uses Spectrum for their internet service?  The past few days my internet speed has gone up, damn near pulled 200 Mbps DL just a couple minutes ago.  150 Mbps last night.  I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering if they are changing their 100 Mbps tier to higher speeds or if I'm just getting lucky with this.  I haven't made any changes to my account.

    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

    This is true the 1900 does not penetrate buildings very well or at all. But man can it fly out in the BFE. With the current cell spacing 800 would cover Lima with prob 3 towers if spaced right and such. But you guys have more. Capable of traveling 20+ miles. We are still a market in progress and will be prob till the end off 2015. Go to other markets and you will see the difference. And ill say this....if your not happy with Sprint than leave. This just a warning of sorts. And a friendly that the mods and Rob will not put up with ranting.

    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.

    Network Vision/LTE - Columbus Market

    in Markets

    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.  :D
