Would be it be safe to assume that tethering is also included, meaning tethering will take off of the shared data? If so this would be great for the 40 GB option.

I hate to say it but, this is does sound like a good deal given this QA: "Are all 10GBs eligible for Smartphone Mobile Hotspot (tethering)? Yes, all 10GB are eligible for tethering. Customers can choose to use their phone with Smartphone Mobile hotspot (tethering) with all 10GB of high-speed data, or use part for tethering and part on their phone." A person with 3 lines could buy a cheap Android phone with Hotspot capabilities and use it primarily as a hotspot with 10-20 GB of data to use each month while spending at most $160 on service for 20 GB per line. But again its only a good deal with a fully owned device(s). Otherwise your "free" line would cost you $20+ a month.

So I know everyone is riveted to see more news about this water tower...but yesterday afternoon I noticed a crane was again at the site. I thought they were using it to help move the temp tower. Apparently they were using it to add an extra set of panels to top of the tower! B41!

Lot of rumors coming out. Should we start a new iPhone 6s thread: http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/01/iphone-6s-qualcomm-lte/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On engadget.com: http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/30/sprint-all-in-plan/ And the ding: "Sprint limits streaming video to 600Kbps, so this isn't your top pick if you want to watch Netflix when you're away from WiFi."

Yeah, just Google'd "Sprint 600 kbps streaming cap" and its pretty bad...

My opinion FWIW, and I’m not advocating using your phone to continuously steaming video on an unlimited data plan, but Sprint needs drop this 600 kpbs streaming restriction quick and in a hurry. And here’s why. I use my wife as an example of a real world Sprint user. She is tech savvy but not a techie. She knows how to use technology and just wants it to work. What she looks for in technology is price, what you get, and whether it works. The price is great on this plan. What you get is the thought of unlimited. But if she tries to stream a Youtube video or play a cartoon for the kids at 600 kbps and its grainy, choppy, or having to continuously buffer, then she would be so p*ssed off. I can hear the questions now: Why are we paying for this unlimited data if we can’t use it? Where did all this money go Sprint paid for all these network improvements if you can’t stream a video? The typical Sprint customer is not a member of this site. The typical Sprint customer doesn’t know/care about network congestion or data abuse. The typical Sprint customer will not understand why they have unlimited data, showing LTE as a connection, and can’t stream video. They will soon no longer be Sprint customers.

Not only did Sprint put the tower back together but it looks like they moved the RRUs to the top with the antenna and have removed the ground mounted ones. I think 3g has been reenabled because I'm getting great service but my LTE signal hasn't changed yet so they are probably still working on that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apparently they de-committed on the new unlimited family plan. They are limiting that to 600 kbps for streaming video: http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/7066-Unlimited-family-plan/page__view__findpost__p__427167 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just saw this on the linked page: "To improve data experience for the majority of users, throughput may be limited, varied or reduced on the network. Streaming video speeds will be limited to 600Kbps at all times, which may impact quality." No full HD Netfix for you!

I watched a video a while back that discussed how the nature of TCP/IP allows for unlimited number of connections and unlimited data transfer but as more connections are made means slower speeds for each connection. The way it was described that you decrease the slow down by limiting the max bandwidth of each connection instead of allowing each connection the full speed of the network.

Would I be barking up the wrong tree by suggesting using the ISP approach and limiting speed but keeping unlimited data or high soft caps. Something like 15 mbps max speed and limit of 50 GBs usage with either decreased speeds or pay extra for buckets beyond the 50 GBs. Would something like this make much of difference on congestion? My belief is that if you can't do what you want to do on a cell phone with a bandwidth of 15 mbps then you might just be an abuser. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good news! They are finally putting this site back together with new equipment on top of the water tower. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know of several people who still get subsidized upgrades with AT&T and get to keep their unlimited data. I don't know how they do it other than threatening to leave at the store. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So it looks like Bluegrass Cellular is showing up as native Sprint coverage now: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ookla is also dependent on the server it picks. Unless you set your own default. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same here. I got rid of TV and stream most shows. I've used as high as 290gb before but i think I'll probably blow the cap this month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not anymore at least in my market. I have a soft cap with Comcast at 300 GB a month with 3 months of allowed overage followed by $10 per 50 gb bucket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got it. I seem to remember having this discussion with you before now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which carrier's store was that? Also, and I apologize if this has been asked before, but in order for a phone to roam LTE will it be as simple as a PRL update or carrier update or both? I'm sure it will be phone specific. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
