The man who told me this owns a MVNO cell phone and repair shop. I know he is very competent.
No reason to spin a story.
please note: the speeds off the near tower which were 500-800 last July have dropped to 14-35 kbps upload, pings near 800, and uploads usually below 50 and often zero. I personally know the new Samsung 4G equipment was installed in August, but "netvision" is not ready.
Sprint service says our "tower issues" for 5 towers nearby will be fixed about November 11th, and speed upgraded.
