Chrome on my home computer activates 11 processes at one time. Is that normal?

Lots of b41 and 26 in Raleigh according to the maps. I will be out and about today so i will do some checking.

Just to clarify, frequency order is 2500/1900/800?

In my limited experience with 800 my phone parks on 1900 but as soon as that signal becomes weak enough it switches to 800.

Started seeing B26 LTE in my house the other day.    Prior to that, I could barely get an EVDO connection.    Speeds are 5-8Mbps / ~1Mbps.  

 

Also seeing B26 more in RTP around the EMC and Cisco buildings near Kit Creek and Louis Stevens.

Same here. Just picked up b26 near the Johnston and Wake county lines. Same speeds.

Phoenix. Actually 6th largest if you go by population.

Never realized Phoenix was that big.

You have to be an idiot to sign a lease in perpetuity.  Lessors should want as short of a term as possible to guarantee their ability to reevaluate the market as often as possible.  And lessees should want one as long as possible if they get great terms.  Her brother was a complete idiot.

 

I actually support the broadcast company on this. 100 dollars a month was a premium 34 years ago. Its not their fault that the owner was dumb enough to sign a perpetual contract. The land owners only recourse is arguing that there should be a perpetual agreement is not an agreement in good faith and that there should be a time limit on it. Unfortunately, I think that if a limit is placed on it it would end up being 99 years. Any lawyers out there?

Well he is an owner operator at a traditional trucking company now. But now with his new job he will be from what I understand he will be working directly for Harley Davidson. Delivering bikes across the country to dealerships. So he will own his own truck but drive for Harley.

THAT IS SOOO COOL!!!!! He has a coolness factor just below that of a nascar truck driver! Anyhow, I would think that they would track him and have two way communications via satellite. If not then he needs to take a look at the coverage maps where he frequents. My guess is he will have to switch to one of the big three.

  

No need to get snarky...if I had access to a Sprint M8 I would have. But that still leaves me 3 other devices that bite for the rest of the family.

 

I'm just giving a real world comparison that is on topic. I have been with Sprint through thick and thin and right now it's thin. I'm not ready to give up unlimited data which is why I don't just do a new family plan deal and buy new phones. I don't necessarily trust TMO anywhere outside my little bubble so....

He is not being snarky at all. I have an M8 and my wife has an M7 and my phone runs circles around hers in terms of signal and data speed. It is not a fair comparison.

There have been many times on Sprint that I've been unable to even stream a Spotify song, and being we are almost in 2015, it's pretty lame to still see "3G" on my phone 75%+ of the time in the nations 7th largest city. I've often saying screw it and switching to Tmobile, in fact I pay for their $30 prepaid plan on my Nexus 5 as kind of an extended "test drive."

 

Seventh largest city? Where are you?

Well thanks for all the responses and I know this should be in a completely different thread all together but okay he has decided to go with a tab from us cellular and get a bluetooth keyboard. Now my question is my dad goes a cross the country but before data didn't matter because he never used it. But now since he will and us cell doesn't have coverage a cross the US how is us's roaming set up? I know in Chicago my little sister gets roaming evdo I'm guessing from Sprint? Just a question on how he's data experience will be in none native areas. Because with this new job data is a must, so just curious I know evdo would do just fine for him, but in the long run would it be better for him to jump to Sprint/att/ Verizon?

Not trying to be nosy. Just trying to understand his needs. Is he being loaded through a company like landstar or is he lease/owner operator with a traditional truck company?

Is there anyway to view the site logs?

Yes but $130 for 30GB. Have to admit that is good.

Yes it is. But if I am reading this right it matches AT&T. Lets see if they double down to match Sprint.

I would agree with that thought process until they came out with a competitive pricing plan today. Interesting that it was on Oct 1st.

Is it really competitive? Verizon has had a habit of style over substance of late.

Shareholders are like sharks. Blood is blood ;-)

I agree. But if V can show how some addition from subtraction then they will be fine for the short term.

Which is fine, until T, Tmo and S starting taking subscribers.  For V to pull a higher churn rate could impact stock price up to 4-5% which investors don't like.

Yeah, but V might take the position that they lost the value seeking customer and not the premium customer. They may be ok with that.

which is very smart.

Wow......So we can clearly see who sprint really wants to compete with...T-Mobile ins't even a factor anymore. They want at&t customers to come over to the yellow side.

Somehow I seem to remember somebody advocating this....hmmmm....who was it? 

I know some people who switched to Sprint I never would of predicted. Ever. I think the iPhone launch is going to make sprint clear 300k this quarter and I am going a bold 600k next quarter, since Christmas is coming and a new generation of kids will need their data.

I agree. I predict 500k. The big question will be what company did all of these people leave?

Looks like I missed out on this one. Either my limit order was not high enough or there where not enough shares to go around. Oh well.

wow! how rich is softbank now?

 

Crap. I have to go check my limit order.

Look in TMUS investor reports.

I have to admit that a billion dollar profit is much batter than I expected. Interestingly enough it appears that the inclusion of Metro PCS actually helped T-Mo's finances. It will be interesting to see how that plays out over the next several quarters.

Who is going in on the alibaba ipo?

Yes, T-Mobile is spending more to acquire customers than they did in the past, but their service revenue (ARPU + EIP billing) is higher than what they had going on during the pre-MetroPCS days. 

Citation? 

That's 100% fair. I've never seen anyone personally denied an Airave. But I'm sure folks who are in areas with better network coverage probably get turned away (licensed spectrum is a pain for consumer devices)

 

Some folks are a little too nice to CS. If you "ask" for an Airave, you get a "no". If you (calmly, kindly, respectfully) attempt to cancel your service, the Airave rules quickly get relaxed very quickly.

 

I'm not picking on AJ specifically, and I know he knows his technical stuff (I've read it). But this particular statement is still ridiculous. I still see no way someone can claim Sprint handing out Airaves is "good", but T-Mobile handing out AC routers is bad -- or otherwise claim that these two actions are meaningfully different.

 

These two are nearly identical, and the only meaningful difference is that T-Mobile's method uses no licensed spectrum, so they don't have to have any requirements about who gets them, or where they get placed.

I'm not so sure he said it was bad. In fact he stated that he was intrigued by the possibilities. He simply said its not altruistic which has resulted in several people responding "of course not". I suspect he was addressing those who believe Legere is the second coming.

Yeah, still not sure why everyone values Freedompop so high. They offer service to the most subprime consumerbase possible, don't they? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Because they represent a revenue stream for Sprint. I don't know how much they are worth to Sprint.. I would be surprised if it was anything approaching $1 billion dollars and I am not quite sure why anybody would pay that much for them.
