    It is very frustrating, I will be stuck on unusable b26, in areas with usable b25 and even b41, it seems sprint or my iPhone is set to connect to the strongest signal... Even when that signal is strong but unusable. For example today I was at Wisconsin state fair, I was stuck on b26 90% of the time getting no throughput... However if I toggled airplane mode it would briefly connect to sting b41, it was lightning fast but would switch back to b26 within 1-2 min. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    be sure to report back, I was at summer fest in Milwaukee this year and band 41 was strong but completely unusable all day/ night, friends with Att, Verizon, and T mobile had slow but usable data the entire event, indoor out door didn't matter. I was really hoping for a better experience.. , and

    thanks Anthony, i just thought it was weird that one tower seems fine and the other towers seem to be weak, i just discovered the Iphone 6 thread talking about carrier bundle update... hope they figure out its a problem and fix it soon, it kinda makes the sprint network look bad not terible just slower and with less LTE coverage... thanks for the info

    no clearwire it is a small market, only 5 towers in town. 4 towers are band 41 active, one is 3g only. only one tower has good range with band 41, 2.5 miles outside, 1-1.5 (depending on building type) inside. the other three band 41 towers have very short range .5 miles, never better than -100 or worse... my guess is one tower is full blast and the other 3 are low power untill the 3g tower is upgraded they the optimize them all together? not even sure if that's how it works Nick

    However with sufficient tower density, and back haul it's not crazy to think sprint could provide home internet services considering how much spectrum they hold in 2.5, not saying any time soon but someday perhaps. you would of course need caps of some type like most current IPS providers, 150-200 gigs is a common soft cap.

    I new here so sorry if this has been answered, try as I might I can't find the answer I'm looking for. What kind of range should band 41 be able to achieve? I find that I loose it .5 miles away from the site, I basically have to be right on top of the site to connect? This image is across the street from a band 41 tower it's the best band 41 signal I ever see in town. I know i have a single tower in my town not upgraded to lte, is it possible that the area is not optimized? Thanks Nick Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I agree with that on mobile data, but when it comes to replacing home internet I don't think a per gb plan would work for most people, unless you are a light user or the per gb is very cheap. Take my example most months I will use 100-120 gb over my home wifi, I pay around $35/ month for Att u verse. Under that the per gb price would have to be around .35 cents per gb. Imo I don't see wireless rates hitting that any time soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    interesting, thanks for sharing i think we are a long ways way from that reality, perhaps sprint will have an unlimited home internet plan by then?
