  1. I know that the device may not have the best service but not every LTE customer got a device that supports B41. I can only compare what I have and B25 is so slow that they should call it 3G+
  2. Clearwire has currently about 1.2 million subs and I would hate for Sprint to lose them all. The number seems to be quite steady as people stay on their current plans with Clear
  3. LTE in Orange County is so slow on B25. Idk why and I am hitting more and more 3G only pockets.
  4. I am comparing the service I receive from Sprint's LTE and Wimax network. I have an EVO 4G and EVO 4G LTE. Down in Santa Ana, I am currently getting better service on the old wimax network in terms of download speeds. LTE has been really bad here and at times I am getting below 1MB on LTE while I get better speeds on wimax. Not sure why but my phone is working fine because my sisters LG G3 is not getting any faster speeds unless she hits a pocket that is B41 ready. It's still a nice phone, sure I eventually get a better phone but that is not in the budget at this point in time.
  5. I know that the EVO4G LTE is a single band LTE phone but I have family members with other phones too that are Spark enabled. Still the experience on a single band handset is worse as the experience on the old wimax network because I never seen so slow results in Orange County.
  6. You are correct and the GSM network was sold to Omnipoint and the customers were transferred to Sprint PCS. Still since 1996 a Sprint wireless customer.
  7. Why allow T-Mobile topics in the forums? Yes, I decided to sign up for Sprint in 1996 and I am still with Sprint, FYI.
  8. Idk what you are talking about. I'm not the only one using the ID logo and you may have me confused.
  9. Robert, you should not confuse a simple question with a desire to switch service providers. Yes would I like to see strong Sprint LTE coverage like T-Mo seems to offer? - Yes. Sprint has gained a reputation as building a network that is just not working. I am in Los Angeles, a market that is Spark ready yet I still find myself in 3G so many times unless they make it part of the Spark experience. TMo has started late but their move has been very aggressive and I wish Sprint would get the job done quickly. I know that their 5x5 B25 network will not be able to offer much speed but at times it is below 3G specs. That needs to change.
  10. Is there a time table for Sprint to complete optimizations? Is there a market in the U.S. that has been fully rebuild and is working at best levels? I see this in LA that I am still dropping back to 3G at times and it seems like an eternity. If Sprint could provide a quality user experience it would be able to get better rankings and customer reviews.
  11. Why is Sprint's signal less strong on sensorly? T-Mobile looks much stronger.
  12. That would only extend the time a heavy user needs to get his data and defer traffic over longer time
  13. I still have a phone on Freedompop in the OC and WiMAX plays nice in my area while LTE needs to improve. But I would like to know what Sprint will do with the EBS services. Not sure but I think it was on this site but EBS spectrum holders offer service via clearwire
  14. Can you really blame people if they want cheap service? That is why people go to T-Mobile because they are suggested a cheap rate and a good network. Sprint can and should offer some DSL alternative and I am sure there is enough network management tooling available to limit to usage of fixed customers. Let's see what the trials will bring.
  15. If Sprint could now provide a great user experience like fast speeds on B25, it would help so much. T-Mobile is a lot of talk but their network works within the cities very well and their speeds are nice too. Wish Sprint could get Spark deployed faster or tweak their B25.
  16. If you really think about it, there is not really anything new at T-Mobile because all they really have done is painting old MetroPCS plans magenta. Look at MetroPCS, they have been offering this for some time and no big deal. All T-Mobile is good at, recycling old rate plans with a new paint job.
  17. I have seen some nice B41 love in Las Vegas and the Bay Area but Orange County is not really big on B41 love if you go south. Wimax has been surprisingly good and I am using it at times on an old Evo that I activated on Freedompop
  18. Still get 10MB down in Tustin on Wimax while LTE is at times much slower. We need some B41 LTE love in more OC places.
  19. Not much love for the West of the Nation.
  20. Well nothing beats the 92705 zip code. Everybody in the hills has a different name and refuses to use Santa Ana as their address Welcome to Cowan Hights, North Tustin and Lemon Hights or Santa Ana if you prefer!
