    Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

    in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment

    Posted

    Tmobile is 30 billion in debt and less then 2 billion in cash on hand, so how is this merger talk going to happen, with unicorn horns and Fairey dust. Sprint 36 billion debt and over 6 billion in cash on hand. Then realize the cost of Reconfiguring, and you get nothing but headaches. Don't forget the spectrum financial plan that sprint just initiated to.  
    Wasn't the last deal all stock before it fell through?

    5g : what's required ?

    64T64R is 5G capable.  Sprint can smoke it's competitors asap by deploying this antenna.  Will boost its 4G network and ready for 5G.
    The nice thing about the 64t64r is that it can do both LTE and 5g at the same time. Sprint will be using these as a bridge and dedicating half of the radios to each network at first.

    Networks are never finished. They continually improve with new technology, but this PC Mag report shows Sprint's performance disparity, and it's not by a little bit. They used Galaxy S8's, and that's what the performance was. Hopefully the next report is better.

     

    We'll see what Marcelo says at the next Earnings report call, but it's got to get better than this.

    And on this note mini macros have popped up in providence ri over the last couple weeks.

    Ha. Why are you getting so worked up Jonny-boy?

     

    Facts are facts. The 4 most densely populated states in the US are NJ, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and CT in that order. Sprint has ignored large parts of every single one of those states and fails to provide adequate LTE coverage.

    I travel throughout New England for my job and live in Rhode Island. What parts of RI are being ignored? Multiple of tbeir 3g only were converted to lte over the last couplr weeks. What oarts of MA or CT?

    Where?

     

    I've seen no 3xCA in Back Bay, Downtown Crossing, Seaport, Beacon Hill, Brookline, Chestnut Hill...

     

    It would help if you can actually provide locations, instead of merely proclaiming I'm wrong.

    Not widespread yet but sites in east Cambridge, downtown crossing, symphony t station, roxbury crossing and a few others

    Galaxy Note 8 rumors, specs, thoughts, etc

    If the Note 8 comes out in late Summer, it could included HPUE. Others have speculated a removable battery. The damage may have been too great to retain the name, but enough features might overcome that.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Dying Embers Thread

    in Samsung

    Well from what I see its not a bad rf performer but it prefers band 25 over band 41 for some reason. I can still see a really good band 41 signal but it will not change. The note 5 holds on to band 41 so much better but is weaker on band 25. Band 26 on both devices are about equal. Maybe slightly better on the note 7. Also I notice my note 7 always has better speed test results than the note 5. I was in walmart early this morning and my note 7 was on band 41 maybe 15% of the time while the note 5 was on band 41 around 85% of the time. I was shocked. At my house the difference is not as much. But the note 5 definitely without a doubt is better at switching and staying on band 41. Maybe a software update will correct this.

    Could it be the network load balancing?
