TMUS yesterday upgraded their Q4 2014 projections to fully 1.2 million postpaid net adds, from 939,000. 700Mhz is officially live in 4 cities. it's live here in Fort Lauderdale too but not everywhere. Moody's meanwhile threw a dagger at Sprint with tonight's announcement, the agency now rates Sprint bonds as junk level with possibility of default.

Price targets for TMUS are up to $40, with a $37 consensus and 11 analysts rating the stock a strong buy. EPS consensus is 0.05. It's normal for the stock to go down, especially as shorts kicked in the last few days and weeks. The NASDQ itself is down almost 9% from a month ago , TMUS is down 15% up today 1.50%, as is the NASDAQ.

Moved from a Motorola to a Zoom 5341J and am pretty happy, aside from the fact I have to constantly type my password to log in. Other than that no issued

you know all this how? The PC squad harped and hollered, got what they wanted, then moved on to the next thing

Installed it yesterday. Turned off the start menu and went back to start screen ... Used to hate the start screen now I'd rather have it, think I'm too lazy to re-map my brain again. So far so good, caught a couple of bugs but it's running solid there are apps that perform a Windows 9* search, so they skipped to 10 for compatibility reasons, allegedly

the 4/100GB offer was extended around September 25th, around the time at&t announced the double data promo they changed the expiration to 10/28.

it's actually legal. Most TV manufacturers have a set price and authorized dealers are not allowed to sell or advertise below it.

TMUS has been a positive asset for DT for a while now, it didn't just happen overnight

Where did you read T-Mobile is spending more per sub to acquire and retain? Not every customer who switches to T-Mobile comes with a $350 ETF. Quite the contrary. They are all trying to add customers, growth is never going to be what it was. Even Verizon is running promos, they gave away free tablets on 2 year contract and only had 340k in net post paid phone adds. Besides, giving data away is trivial compared to slashing the cost of the plans. In the 2Q 2014 report T-Mobile's cost of services was $1.4B for the three months ending June 30. Selling, general and administrative is $2.151B vs $1.847B Q2 2013. And the more customers they add the more spread out their costs become per user. the router is not an open spot where any T-Mobile customer can place calls.

Sprint is most definitely not as good as Verizon (who have their own issues). If they were, they wouldn't have lost customers in the last 27 out of 28 quarters. That's going back to 2007-2008, 6 years of almost consecutive losses! I have friends in Dallas who moved to Sprint in early-ish 2012 from T-Mobile, and are now leaving again because of coverage issues. For me in South Florida coverage has never been better, the difference from early 2012 is huge. The towers near me however are not wide band yet, just AWS 10x10 and there's no 4x2 yet so upgrades are most definitely not yet complete. And since only rich neighborhoods get upgraded according to you, then work must still be going on because T-Mobile's the towers is right next to the multi-million dollar mansions

At the Goldman conference today Neville said they've acquired 9 million more pops of 700Mhz. He also said that he heard the 600Mhz auction may get pushed to 2016. Because they're not ripping the equipment out, only what needs replacement. LTE will run using the antennas already on the tower

Volte on tmobile hands off to HSPA+ and its seamless. In 9 months the network will be majority lte anyway
