major malfunction

Oh god. And I'm also very inclined to take the argument of a person who can't even reboot, or purchase a new router seriously.

My guess: The city so nice, they "named it twice". And for those wondering, the image posted as in the page source redirects to this: http://postimg.org/image/84e44ctkb/full/ So it's "sorta" there. Maybe try a different file hosting site, grndslm ?

You mean literally sitting out? I would personally think it's very important they do actually participate in the 600MHz auction whenever that comes around, for the sake of helping to grow their nationwide footprint.

I too have made the mistake of either turning off the phone or letting the battery die. I've never seen any portion of such points plotted. Of course, I don't know what it really does / is supposed to do.

I don't fear that day, in fact, I'm looking forward to it. It's inevitable for both companies. He can't lie to them forever... I believe I've seen fanboys asking if T-Mobile will go to Canada or Mexico to spread their "movement". They really don't live in reality, nor do they come up for air. The T-Army is going to be in for a reality check, no matter how much nor how long they continue to tap-dance, attack and cry. T-Mobile isn't taking over the world (or the US), sorry.

You'd never see anything greater than ~2 megabits on EV-DO as an average. -- And to others doubting, those are very real averages that apply to other markets like mine, and others I've visited, too. Regardless of the scope, it does exist. Some are fine, some suck.

If you can't get personal accounts, take a look at crowd-source maps like RootMetrics and Sensorly. I've also found people don't plot very much AT&T in most areas, so if you see plots within a mile of where you frequent, you can choose to take a gamble or not. Also, it seems there's no 3rd-party in that immediate area, so check AT&T's coverage map to see where they say partner coverage is and if that applies to you or if travel a lot outside that area. I don't know how AT&T is out west or in CO, so don't take my word for it.

Well also, I'm not even sure of any phones that have B30 besides the Galaxy S6 and variants. So, even if it were launched tomorrow, virtually no one can use it yet. Very broad. Maybe in certain big cities, sure. Elsewhere, I'd say inconsistent. They are beyond stupid for letting their network go in many cities -- that's how I'd put it.

I used VZW from flip phones to smartphones and still talk to mostly VZW users. The call quality used to be mediocre to horrible. It still is if a VZW user is using a feature phone with no/poor noise cancelling and there's any background noise involved. Now, I'd say below-average to average depending on the smartphone and how it handles noise cancellation. Still the residual robo garble and tinniness. Usable, but still Verizon.

Correct for RootMetrics, Sensorly and OpenSignal. Edit: The rest I don't know

Can you tell me the price of rice in China?

Yuck, this is why I sometimes like wires.

I really screwed that point up being I didn't proofread it, including putting just "no carrier". Anyways, I failed to mention "reliably" in the last part, which is the point I was making there, as there is no fallback now making it incredibly unreliable in a wide array of areas and situations, and limiting it for people within the area of usable LTE coverage. This might not be as big of a problem in cities where the density is far greater, but for other people not so much. There are still many buildings where VZW's LTE either drops or comes in and out, and many areas whilst traveling where the LTE is not dense enough to handoff.

VZW cannot reliably deploy VoLTE nationwide without having an LTE network as dense as their CDMA network, which they do not have, especially in non-urban areas. They don't have a nationwide LTE network, they have a majority-of-their-nationwide-CDMA-network overlayed LTE network. No carrier without fallback and or release 10 upgrades can deploy VoLTE, regardless. They also cannot remove CDMA from their phones yet, as that would disadvantage many VZW users in areas where there is limited/no LTE yet, or where the CDMA is already barely dense enough.

It's good so far and there's many markets to be released (namely 90% of the ones I've wanted to see xD) I have a feeling a lot more will improve in the 2H tests of this year, too. I'm still quite curious at how well Sprint will do on the state reports this quarter. They should come closer to the big two in several states and win more awards in that category.

I also have to chime in and agree with you that VZW gets preferential treatment the majority of the time, and people gladly allow it.

Uhhh okay, the threshold is the same for all bands (maybe I'm crazy for thinking there'd possibly be a difference in the threshold for low vs high band, I don't know). I'm sorry for presuming discrimination.
