Houston_Texas

 

 

Going to be over 70M customers by the end of 2016. That, to me is crazy! T-Mobile is definitely earning its share of the market with its game-changing industry moves. I have been trying out T-Mobile in Jacksonville with my second line and it is working really well. I haven't tried Verizon or AT&T but I believe T-Mobile may function just as well as, if not better than the big two because I am on LTE 99% of the time, and when I'm not, it's still a very usable HSPA connection.

 

May just move everyone over soon because having voice+data at the same time is useful for my wife who is a realtor.

Simultaneous voice and data is a great feature!

Glad he apologized.

Lesson learned.

Time to move on.

I guess your sarcasm detector was about as flat as the Houston terrain on that one uh?

Lol. Flat is good, better than the hills in Austin.

 

Ghetto is a buzzword that can derail the thread.

I apologize.

 

Even though we have had numerous posts on the word "ghetto," that was yesterday and earlier today. My mistake that the statute of limitations had expired this afternoon.

 

Unpaid S4GRU staff now will work according to your prescribed timeline -- despite the fact that you have never donated a dime to this non profit site.

 

AJ

Apology accepted.

The more I look, the more I would be willing to overlook the removal of the bottom speaker from the front, but I still can't stand having the headphone jack on top.

I think it's better that way

 

Sent from my SM-N910 using Tapatalk

Move on? Why? Discussion of "that word" seemingly is the whole point of this discussion -- pardon the redundancy.

 

Should S4GRU feel that posts are unproductive or provocative, staff will take action.

 

In the meantime, we have unexpectedly high activity in this thread. You have lots of reading to do. Enjoy the ride.

 

AJ

We have moved on from that word. You should too.

 

The topic now; what is the purpose and credibility of the Listening Tour. That is more important to Sprint. Don't lose focus.

Anyway, I digress. Sort of to steer things back on topic, I will write a post on the etymology of the word "ghetto." Give it a few minutes...

 

AJ

At this point, I think it's best to move on from that word. The ad has been pulled and topic has been discussed. No need to rehash.

After this well-publicized blow-up (and I mean, it's everywhere now), I don't think anyone is going to want to share their true thoughts with Marcelo on Sprint or other carriers because of the blow back risk.

 

In my honest opinion, it's time to wrap it up.

Couldn't he or his employees scour the internet to find out what the issues are?

 

Network

Customer service

VoLTE

Etc

 

Secondly, what can realistically be done to fix the problems?

 

Sent from my SM-N910 using Tapatalk

Thoughts on what Marcelo should do at this point?: Keep the "Listening Tour" going, or pull the plug?

Well, you have to figure out what is the true purpose of the Listening Tour.

In a nutshell.....it's not a good look.

Apparently our own milan03 found 175 Mbps in NY at Columbus Circle. Granted it isn't the most crowded time of the day there, but this is more or less to demonstrate B4-B12 carrier aggregation of 20 MHz and 5 MHz there.

He would probably be given bill credit if he complains enough. Sprint reps over the phone are quick to offer you Bill Credit even for the smallest inconveniences.

Yea the onus is on you, to call to get the credit which is $10 ( to mitigate the $30 activation fee) . Is it worth it to call numerous times, hoping to get the right rep and hoping to get a $10 credit from said rep? Who knows, that is up to the individual.

Yes, you have adhered to guidelines by the skin of your teeth, as Robert has noted. That is why you have not been disciplined. But your behavior in The Forums is pathological, and that arouses suspicion.

 

As for the LG G5 article on The Wall, we are glad that you liked it. Guess who edited it, rewrote some of it, added to it, and titled it? So, I offer you my personal thanks for the kind words.

 

AJ

By a mile or by an inch, guidelines have been followed. I'm sure if I said Marcelo is baby Jesus and Legere is the second coming of lucifer, you would feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. I have said positive things about both carriers. Again, reevaluate YOUR actions.

 

My 'behavior' has been fine. Your actions have been diabolical and makes you look foolish. It's not my problem that you stalk my every move. Find a new hobby. I don't need nor want any fans.

No, your observations are not necessarily "mis information" [sic], but they also are not necessarily "facts" for the Houston market.

 

That said, I am with you on this one. I really do not understand why others jumped in with their Sprint experiences in other markets -- even though I could corroborate most of those observations. Those experiences basically are irrelevant to the Houston situation. And this is the T-Mobile thread, after all, not a Sprint thread.

 

The issue is with the behavior of Houston_Texas, who uses T-Mobile, posts almost exclusively in this T-Mobile thread or the Marcelo thread, shares only positive anecdotes about T-Mobile or negative comments about CDMA2000, and "Likes" posts that are critical toward Sprint or S4GRU staff. That smacks of selective reporting with a subjective agenda.

 

I will address Houston_Texas directly in a subsequent post. But I will leave with this for now -- and probably post it a few more times.

Objective testing and reporting. Sprint soundly beat T-Mobile in Houston. That is the closest we have to "facts" about performance in the Houston market. And the last place T-Mobile network displayed multiple problems, notably the inverted downlink and uplink speeds. But Houston_Texas apparently has not encountered any of those issues. Everything on T-Mobile is fine. Maybe he is just lucky. Or maybe he is not telling the whole truth, nothing but the truth.

 

AJ

I have adhered to all guidelines. I have a great relationship with S4GRU staff ( great teaser/G5 article by Tim btw). As for you, I can't help that you stalk my every move. You should reevaluate YOUR actions towards me.

From what I've experienced in the greater Harris County area, T-Mobile is faster than Sprint about 70% of the time. You may think he is a fanboy (and maybe he is), but he isn't wrong to say that the T-Mobile network in Houston is actually very good when compared to At&t and Sprint. Sprint's failure to successfully balance their loads has been their downfall in most of Southeast Texas. I can see Band 25 have speeds of up to 8-9 Mbps while B26 can't even establish a connection with a server to test. That's the life around some parts of Houston unfortunately for Sprint.

 

Not a fanboy. I don't give a damn about either CEO.

 

Thanks for the unbiased post.

No irony. I am not even remotely a fanboy. But that is you to a T. The T-Mobile fanboy.

 

Tales from Houston, TX...

 

Where all the T-Mobile cell sites are strong, all the T-Mobile LTE signals are good looking, and all the T-Mobile data speeds are above average.

 

AJ

I accounted for my personal experience with T-Mobile. I even conceded that someone else's experience may be different. I didn't mention Sprint and I posted in the T-Mobile thread. Tell me what I did wrong?

 

Breathe. Relax. You're way too old to be an E-bully. Sprint will be ok.

 

Breathe. Relax.

Irony at it's finest.

 

Adult fanboys are insufferable.

I'm also in Houston and have a line with both Sprint and T-Mobile. I've run into many places where I'm getting sub 1Mb/s download speeds on T-Mobile.

No issues for me.

Im actually moving to Housto soon! How is t mobiles network/coverage there along the I45/I10. The map shows strong coverage

No issues passing through Huntsville. Network is very strong; data hovering around 25mbs during my last visit. Made several calls using VoLTE, clear and zero drops.

Service hasn't deteriorated for me. Ran a speed test after work yesterday.
