Sprint to Begin VoLTE Soft Launch in September

Often folks on the other end complain I sound very choppy on a Calling Plus (on LTE) call, also losing audio for a couple seconds. Other times it's like I'm sitting in the same room with them. I hope there are some improvements afoot over Calling Plus quality.
This is a similar experience with VoLTE on the early days with Verizon and T-Mobile. Choppy calls on those networks are due to poor rf performing handsets. QoS won't be able to fix that.

From the towers? Probably a fat NO.

Columbus, 8640. The Age of 10 MHz FDD Discovery.

So older Samsung phones that were only authorized to work with 5 Mhz FDD LTE, like the GS3 and Note 3, are capable of doing 10x10 LTE as well? I thought it was a hardware limitation. How would Sprint go about to allow these older phones to use 10 Mhz FDD LTE? And if they do, why continue to keep a single 5 Mhz FDD alive in the select markets where they can deploy 10 Mhz FDD?

Great article!
Just one question; Since Sprint usage is prioritized over MVNO usage (at least that's what most MVNOs state in their fine print), are MVNO users assigned a different QCI that gives them lower QoS priority?
It would be interesting to see if plans such as Sprint's Kickstart, T-Mobile Essentials, and Verizon's goUnlimited also have a different QCI.
