haha first thing i thought...
-
more than just a bit, I'm my opinion it makes Ookla speed test crown nearly meaningless... Look at fast speed tests data usage some are 100 plus Megs, who in their right mind would blow through 10 of those every month if costs you money, either overages or needing a higher data plan? Not only is it white listed but it's prioritized. In my opinion that's no better than Samsung when they set their cpu to over clock for all performance testing. It's not representative of real world experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

not a surprise, it can happen to any provider regardless of amount of deployed spectrum. love how they always blame it on backhaul and then say middle of the night is still 100+.

i said it looks ok, but not a level of quality that would make me give up home internet and use hotspot + binge on for home use. your right people used to listen to tv shows on the radio, then watch them in black and white, they also used to use a hand crank to start their cars.... could u use a flip phone? yes but you choose to use a galaxy s6 active (according to your profile) you could certainly use something old, but you prefer a newer nice phone, i prefer something higher than 480P. Neither opinion is wrong but i would prefer you not mock my opinions just because they differ from yours. Thanks, Nick

it is all about location location location, but sprint has an enormous amount of spectrum left to deploy on band 41, while t mobile has hit a wall with available spectrum for lte deployment. the 600 auction will help but it wont close the gap they have with sprint. that means sprints only going to get better provided they deploy it properly and t mobile will only get worse, overall. I don't know what the end game is for t mobile, if they continue to allow people to use and abuse their network and add subs without adding capacity at an equal clip they will only hurt them selves and the customers... i don't get it... whats the plan?
-
actually reddit has a lot of comments on that, the general opinion is its good enough. that surprises me I figured it would look fair on a mobile screen and poor on a big screen, I have not see this myself I did a test on my iphone 6 plus playing 420P it looks ok... but certainly nothing i would want on my 55 inch flat screen, so either t mobile is using some advanced form of compression, its not truly 480P (720P?) or people just don't know what they are talking about.... this will get sorted out in time and we will see the true effects of this "free" service soontm.
-
that speed tests only highlights the growing congestion, strong signal with 18 down and 26 up.. that is a perfectly acceptable and usable speed for sure, but anytime you consistently see upload faster than download it is the first stage in congestion. also not sure if i would call 1:16 peak hours, not off hours but not peak hours either.
-
probably just the macro network, i doubt the store was so crowded it would drag down a micro cell although a micro cell at every store wouldn't be a bad idea... "Look how great our network is!!!!!" ***on this micro cell
-
very true, it will only lead to a decrease in ARPU, however since binge on white lists hot spot data the same as mobile data it makes that a viable option for people with binge on to cut home internet....... cellular network as a replacement for home internet talk about crippling a network. / : you are right 3-4 streams at 480p is a lot less data than 1080P however video consumption is far greater on a tv than a mobile device, time wise that is.
-
but the real question is how much additional streaming will be done? If some one regularly used 1.5 gigs per month with Netflix and limited it because of concerns of running out of high speed data, now that same person paying the same price can stream 20 gigs of Netflix albeit at a slower rate per hour. It will be interesting to see if the reduction on rate will be enough to offset the increase in frequency. and lets not count out the small percentage of people that will cut their home internet and exclusively use t mobile hot spot, since the majority of home broadband is used for streaming video. imagine 3-4 Netflix streams all using mobile hot spot for hours and hours everyday.
-
you need binge on active, im sure most people do since it was auto enabled. and it goes in effect after your data stash is gone. I can't imagine this will help congested areas, and will cause many more areas to experience congestion.
-
now you can drop to the 3gig tier saving you money and costing t mobile money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its hard to make a blanket statement like that, with so many legacy plans, many of witch are very inexpensive or include phone subsidies. $25 bill credit might make some people half off while large families might feel like they got the shaft.... should they have sprint bill each line individually to get more credit?
-
it's "free" for the first year but the second year will cost you $120 or $180 for service, it's such a crapy tablet it would surprise me if you still used it after 2 years...... same crapy "free" tablet deal that has been around for years.... nothing to see here.
-
don't forget, sprint does not match, data stash, music freedom or binge on.... not that it matters to everyone but its something to remember.
-
ohhh come on now... they only have 1.starter unlimited plans 2. unlimited plans 3.family share plans 4.free amazon prime on select phones 5.21,22,24 month lease 6. 24 month easy pay 7. cut your plan in half (ends tomorrow) 8. cut your plan in half 2.0? (1.0 plus T mobile but missing music freedom and binge on) I am sure im missing some but its not ultra complicated for new customers.... a ton of legacy plans tho...
-
yeah it doesn't make sense, buy a geed tablet get nothing for free, take our crap tablet free year... I wonder if you could get the crap tablet and transfer the service to a good one on a easy pay from sprint, that would probably incur a penalty.
-
Thanks for correcting that, they could have updated the tablet but not the name that isn't uncommon for cheap tablets like this one.
-
you and millions of other people, "while supplies last" probably is not a necessary tag on this stinker of a tablet.....
-
I would have liked to see bring or buy your own tablet and we will give you free service for the fist year and you can finance it... im in the market for an ipad pro ( :

WOW a Alcatel ONETOUCH PIXI™ 7. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Alcatel-OneTouch-Pixi-7-hands-on-Android-tablet-on-the-cheap_id52922 "Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 7 hands-on: Android tablet on the cheap" "There’s nothing flattering about the Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 7 from what we can see at the moment" "Low end specs are expected for a device like this, so don’t expect anything sharp looking with this one." "Cheap means cheap, so it’s not a shocker that it’s powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz processor with 512MB RAM. Due to its pre-production nature, we see some heavy performance glitches right away – again, it’s not something all that unexpected." "Usually, affordable Android tablets omit cameras, so it’s to our amazement that this one is outfitted with not one, but TWO cameras. Don’t hold your breath, though, seeing that they’re measly sized 0.3-megapixel ones – front and back!" so that for free i am amusing you need to pay for activation and service for the "free tablet"

the street is never impressed.... buy the rumor sell the news ( :
-
i don't know about you but im sick of the "free tablet" game, they are normally bottom of the barrel crap tablets....
-
can't find any "deets" yet might be a last second opps scramble on his part, the twitter link is just you tube....

counter counter point, T mobile offers binge on and music freedom so you could cut your plan on t mobile in half and stream all day long, plus data stash, sprint does not match any of that. Not that im a t mobile fan, im just saying the fine print on this deal is huge.... and if people switch and think they are getting an exact match at half the price they will be mad when they discover video and music count now, but on t mobile it did not. That is something most consumers will not understand... or look into.
