No, I believe you're thinking of I-270. I-70 ends on Security Blvd. Right near Security Square Mall and the Catonsville community. EDIT: And someone already answered your question. Disregard this.

I thought the 4S supported 800 1X. Seemed like a nice explanation for why my mom's 4S always has a 5 bar signal at her house, while I'm barely holding on to a 2 bar signal... Same at my house. We both get 5 bars (tower is super close) but she always has a 10dbm or so better signal then me. I know we could be connecting to different towers, but why is my iPhone connecting to a further away tower (especially at my house) when there is a better signal available?

Just another glitch of the Sprint iPhone 5. Number 4 on my Sprint iPhone 5 glitch list. 1.) Text Messages marked "Not Delivered", when they have, in fact, been delivered. 2.) Random drops to 1X (the little o) 3.) Randomly losing service completely. 4.) Mobile Hotspot being available, but shutting off the second you attempt to use it.

If you turn it on, the second it receives a connection request, it will shut off.

Yes, only for iPhone.

I heard a 8 or 9 year old kid talk on the radio on how she saw the death of one of her classmates. An 8 year kid shouldn't even know what a gun is! Absolutely horrifying.

They appear to share an SID, as my SID (4195) is apparently Washington DC's. I'm in Baltimore.

The tower near which I spend most of my day serves the very end (literally) of I-70 and a mall, as well as my workplace. Would it be plausible for me to get TD-LTE there? That same tower also serves my house, but I offload, so that doesn't matter.

Sold my Clearwire a while back. Regret is burying me...

Same for NYC and Baltimore as well.

I can assure you all 4G references are WiMax. Sprint isn't licensing their LTE (except for a couple MVNOs, no mobile broadband). VZW's Home Fusion Broadband might be something to look into though: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/homefusion/hf/main.do .

Verizon is doing it, but it is obviously not unlimited. Sprint definitely won't be doing an unlimited version. Sprint LTE just doesn't have the capacity for data-heavy home users. Verizon doesn't either- they have already downgraded average LTE speeds to 5-12Mbps. Needless to say, you won't be getting unlimited LTE anytime soon.

I went to Myrtle this summer, armed with only my trusty Clear 3G/4G hotspot. WiMax coverage is terrible, and I was falling back to (Sprint) 3G quite often. 3G was in the 500 kbps range. Coverage wasn't bad.

So if Baltimore continues with 8-10 sites a week, which is apparently equivalent to 1% of the total towers, wouldn't we only be at 60% or so in February 2013? How do you calculate the "Production Rate Completion"?

This would be called "abuse": That's actually my phone, but I can assure you I didn't tether 102 terabytes of data in two months. EDIT: Umm Apple needs to fix this: Keeps on glitching...

I heard that!!! They played it a couple times.

I know. It has all of the credentials and info the phone needs to connect to the Sprint network. What exactly that means, I have no idea.

Updated your PRL, most likely.

Uh oh, I'm double posting. How I feel about this: Sprints really got their work cut out for them if T-Mo gets everything done. LTE, iPhone, and great prices all in one carrier. Just one problem- the no-contract idea. I simply can't afford $650 for a phone. $200 I can shoulder, but $650 is WAAY too much. $300 I would consider (Nexus 4), but there's that LTE problem. If Apple or Google can create carrier specific models at a nice no-contract price, I'm sold. I would go with Android in a heartbeat if I could get a CDMA LTE phone with Nexus 4-like for $300. Oh, another problem. One that doesn't really affect me. Which is TMo coverage. They cover the urban areas nicely, but rural areas? Not so much. That's obviously not a problem in places like Baltimore, they have decent signal in most places, not always 3G though. And thats another problem. The 3G. They didn't convert all the towers in the first place, and they aren't planning to. Any EDGE tower will always be an EDGE tower. No hope of HSPA or LTE. Okay, I'm done.

I thought value plans had no ETF... If they do, well thats incredibly stupid. They will finance the device if you want to- 20 or 30 dollars extra on your bill for 20 months.

Actually, CDMA portions of the phone work fine, aside from the signal strength not being displayed. You can call and use 3G internet without a SIM. LTE, however, requires a SIM. A Sprint Repair Center should give you one for free.

It was on Engadget. Amirami posted it... The comment boards on there are deserted now after the change to Livefyre...

Saw this on Engadget. Favorite comment? "Good. Screw you Verizon. You don't get to be a duopoly with AT&T without regulations."
