unfortunately theme parks like universal and Disney have exclusive partnerships, with the "official wireless provider" so others are relegated to macro sites off property... This is not ideal i hope someday soon they will realize that it is in the parks best interest from a customer service standpoint to allow all carriers to set up DAS and small cells. They cant expect everyone to have ATT, or use the wifi, It creates a frustrating and negative experience to park guests to have no or poor cell service. I suspect they will come around the this once the exclusive agreement ends, most large sport venues allow DAS of all the big 4. I just wish sprint used bad 41 DAS in the brewers home (miller park Milwaukee) sadly it lacks band 41, so it can get over loaded at times. (varies from antenna to antenna)

it's a great time, you won't be disappointed, also the campground is very nice now, they build a bunch a small wood cabins a few years back, if that's something your into. They are located right next to soak city. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

it makes the six flags that is near me (great america) look like a kiddi park, cedar point has some of the most intense roller coasters i have ever been on, many of the coasters they have either are currently or have been world record breaking coasters. check out the new one for 2016 http://toyland.gizmodo.com/cedar-points-newest-coaster-will-shatter-ten-world-reco-1730493757!! its worth the drive (from any part of the country) visit in May during the weekday if you can, the park is dead walk up or 5 min wait all day long for nearly every roller coaster! ( i hate lines, and hate paying for flash pass even more) also i recoment hotel breakers for staying on site, you get discounted admission, plus its a 2 min walk to the park.

its hit and miss with theme parks, a good example of a theme park done right is cedar point in OH, it has a macro site smack dab in the middle of the park, full build with 2 bad 41 carriers (not sure if they are CA or not i dont have a CA phone) lte blankets the park and it was smoking fast 50+ mbps outside, 15-20 mbps inside even on the crowded days.

yes band 41, not sure exactly what the small cells will be capable of, perhaps someone else can answer that one. http://newsroom.sprint.com/blogs/sprint-perspectives/sprints-network-is-the-fastest-in-denver-and-getting-better-every-day.htm "This will include adding thousands of new macro sites to increase coverage, as well as expanding our 2.5GHz LTE footprint. In addition, we’ll deploy tens of thousands of small cells using 2.5GHz, allowing us to add capacity in targeted high-traffic areas, as well as provide better service in hard to reach locations." the post want very specific, of course i would love to see tri band small cells with 3 band 41 carriers.... I have nothing to make me think that would happen, just wishful thinking.... very wishful.

gotcha, you left out the band 25/26 at .2-.8 and that it was a mediocre day at the park (crowd wise) hopefully some band 41 small cells will help out. your right though .2-.8 doesn't make for a good experience, CA wouldn't really help with the indoor coverage much, since band 25/26 are both 5x5 they stand no chance up against a Verizon small cell.
-
so you had 5-10 in a congested area? that was a "hard pill to swallow"? Realistically anything over 5 mbps with a decent ping is perfectly acceptable. while it might be true that sprint would "crap out first" 5-10 is far from crapped out, the difference in regular use between 40-60 and 5-10 is not noticeable for most tasks (web browsing, snap chat, Facebook).
-
probably because it's true, not by choice but because overages are way to expensive. almost everyone i know has cellular data turned off for the last week or so of their billing month, because they get the data cap warning text (witch is conveniently delayed by a day or two) by the time they get the %75 percent text they check online and find they have less than %5 left, they hate it!
-
perhaps next year they will have a truly universal phone, one model number for all carriers. SOONTM

I think 3 carrier aggregation, (potential for 6 band 41 carriers per tower in some markets) plus tens of thousands of small cells, plus thousands of new macro sites will serve sprint well into the future.... and http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/sprint-spark-hands-on-1-gbps this is old from 2013 mind you.

apple care is the best option for iPhone by far.... just don't lose it or have it get stolen, then you are SOL. The free cables and headphones are a very nice perk as well.
-
if it's a heavily loaded tower you will have to wait until 3 carrier aggregation to get those insane speeds back, until then you will have to suffer though 20-40 meg internet on your phone.. ( : Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

. with your note 3 you didn't connect to the clear tower, you connected to a sprint tower with band 25/26 (most likely lacking band 41) speeds on this tower are high because the clear tower with band 41 was taking a significant portion of the load in the area. The clear wire towers normally have limited capacity and range compared to a sprint band 41 tower. So now that you have a note 4 you connect to a congested clear tower, since you phone will hold on to band 41 at all costs you won't be kicked to the sprint tower, despite its better performance. You may be able to disable band 41 however I'm not familiar enough with the note for to know how, if you even can. Someday your clear tower may be upgraded to a full build, or they may add band 41 to the sprint tower and shut down the clear tower, they do this on a case by case basis. Hope this helps Edit looks like you can disable band 41 http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/band-25-26-41-t2968084 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

try reporting it on sprint zone app or Twitter sprint care line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

this is typical as band 41 does not have good building penetration attests compared to band 25 and 26 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"spark" is nothing but a marketing term and a bad one at that IMO they used to have "spark turbo"also that made it even more confusing. 60mb is very optimistic without carrier aggregation, you would need a great signal on an unloaded tower to ever get that. Spark as they call it is just marketing for band 41, chances are your note 4 is not connected to band 41 while getting 4-10 mb, most likely weak band 25 or 26..... at any rate 4-10 will cover video (streaming at a reasonable quality 720P) web browsing, video calls, streaming music... the difference between 10 meg and 100 meg internet isn't noticeable for most cell phone tasks, web browsing is more related to ping time and the ability of your phone to render the page, same for facebook, snap chat and so on. The only thing the "slow" connection is going to effect is 1080p or grater video and medium to large size downloads of apps and such. Those things should be done over wifi whenever possible to help avoid unnecessary network congestion. But if your unhappy with 4-10 and cant wait for more upgrades you should consider switching services to something that better suits your needs.

wow deals are just getting better by the week it seems.
-
It will only get better as more people move to tri band phones and more band 41 carriers and towers/small cells are added. sprint will be a beast of a carrier soonTM.

you can never return it, your card will be charged and you will add to samsung's bottom line.... sucker!!!! but in all seriousness this hole ultimate test drive thing should have been more thought out.... they best way to attract new customers is not to make it hard to return the test phone and make it a secret 2 gb cap on data (if that is the case which it seems to be).
-
sites in my small town are over crowded, i see band 25 and 26 around 4-8 down... the only exception to this is between 4 and 6 AM give or take, the pings are low and you would never guess you are on a "slow" connection unless you run a speed test or download apps (should be done on wifi) although i notice my apps update on my iphone over cellular all the time, sadly you cant stop it without either disabling auto update, or use cellular for iTunes radio.... i don't know why the two are linked.
-
I agree, how happy would you be to like the phone turn it in and find out you owe $ for testing it to much especially if that wasn't made %100 clear from the start, also makes it hard to track usage when you part of everyone's "bucket". How can they even effectively track it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

good to see the addition, still not a great plan after the first year... considering this is a "$50 credit per line" for one year, and currently unlimited data talk and text is $60 although after one free or discounted year you could switch to the $60 unlimited plan (provided it still exists) still happy to see them expand this offer, i know several people on direct tv, but didnt bother telling them about this deal because i know they use 4-5 gb per line.
-
2 gb would be annoying for a test device, they should call it a test wifi device.
-
at least they know they are having issues.... how is your 3g network around there?
