Who does Mellenicom use for their wireless network? I checked on their website (and it looks familiar so I think I did this a long time ago) and they don't offer unlimited where I live. Only a "hotspot" plan that is 3G only. Are they using Sprint in some locations? Also, their BYOD plan isn't showing as available in my area either. Wonder why it would be in some places but not others?

I'm in the same situation as you, no other choice for internet since neither Time Warner or CenturyLink seem interested in serving our area. And we've got way more than 10 houses out here. Less than 5 miles from downtown (small town, granted but still) and there are about 55 houses in the 2 miles between my house and where DSL and cable both stop. Fortunately, I got on the Sprint unlmited plan for my broadband card about 5 years ago but the speeds have gotten so bad it's unusable most of the time. LTE is on the tower but I can't pick it up on the phones at the house (at least until LTE800 comes along). Since I work from home, I got an AT&T hotspot for the LTE speeds with the 5GB plan which is about $38 with my work discount. I got the hotspot outright and am not on contract. But at least the overages are only $10/GB with them. Verizon has larger plans available if you're in their LTE network and they even have a Home Fusion Broadband service that gives you 30GB for $120/mo. with $10/GB over (or maybe $15). The good thing about Sprint's plan is that you get 12GB for a decent price but the overages are unacceptable. At their stated 5 cents per MB that's $50/GB. That's just insane and it's something I hope they change soon. The newer satellite plans are also around the same price as the Verizon home fusion, about $120 for 30GB. And sometimes you can get additional data in off hours if I remember right. And overages are around $10/GB. It's been a couple months since I've looked though. Rural customers just don't have many "good" options for a family that wants internet access. And with some of the charter and magnet high schools now requiring high speed internet access at home to be considered for enrollment we're at an even further disadvantage. I'd look into the Verizon Home Fusion if it's really for home only use and you don't need to take it mobile.

I tried again and it's still not working, even after last night's update.

Maps just updated again last night for me. Maybe they were fixing a bug to release another update so soon. I'll check this morning on the way to work and see if it's working again. sent from my s3 using Tapatalk 4

No, you will have to wait until 800LTE is turned on. Right now the only things we know for sure that is turned on is CDMA 800. Of course, they could be broadcasting LTE on 800MHz but noone can see it since there are no devices that support it. We haven't seen any reports or evidence that LTE on 800MHz has been turned on anywhere yet.

I think you're, the reps do have the ability to do this sometimes. For example, when we first started looking at more rural property I knew Sprint had unlimited data plans for their mobile broadband cards but by the time we were about to close on our house they had started the switch to the 5GB plan for 3G data. I stopped by one of the corporate Sprint stores to get details on the new plans and the rep looked in the system and was still able to find the unlimited plan so I signed up right away. Still have that unlimited 3G card and plan (barely works most days now but was decent at the beginning and should get better).

Here's some analysis on my own lines if I were to switch based on what we know so far about the discounts (on data only on all lines). This is for four lines, 3 smartphones and one feature phone. My current discount is only for the first line and doesn't include the $10 smartphone charge: Current: 110 (First line) - 27.50 (25% discount) + 10 (1st line data fee) + 20 (2nd line) + 20 (3rd line) + 10 (3rd line data fee) + 20 (4th line) +10 (4th line data fee) --------------------------- $172.50 New plans: 50 (1st line) + 30 (1st line data fee) - 7.50 (1st line 25% data discount) + 40 (2nd line) + 30 (3rd line) + 30 (3rd line data fee) - 7.50 (3rd line 25% data discount) + 20 (4th line) + 30 (4th line data fee) - 7.50 (4th line 25% data discount) ----------------------------------------- $207.50 So, I would end up paying $35/month more for the new plans not including taxes, fees, etc. When I switch the fourth line over to a smartphone (most likely when a good tri-band phone comes out) it would cost me $47.50/month more on the new plans. Glad they are keeping the old plans for now, otherwise it would be a 20-26% increase for me.

I thought the quote from the Sprint rep was 40% of POPs.
