That was actually quite a common argument by many against the smoke and mirrors stuff from pink. Essentially, they argued that it makes no sense to criticize contracts when you get charged potentially and usually more (for more expensive handsets) by leaving early and getting slapped with the remaining lump sum as opposed to the milder ETFs from the other threes contracts. I'd generally agree.

After getting banned from FierceWireless, I guess it needs another place to troll.

Oh no, that's SpeedHopping. It's to replace Pool Hopping. The new way to troll your neighbors! Be sure to take a selfie. "This one's only got a 20/2 plan! LAME! "

Actually, you should have a cellular connection inside. The new cellspot thing we gave you steals your internet connection and spits it out on your property and the immediate areas for any magentans to use for drive-by speed testings. But if you don't want your own internet connection to count against your data, then yes, use your WiFi (with Wi-Fi calling for your service. But that's if it works today and your calls don't drop with a perfectly good internet connection).

You didn't know? It's the next ReCarrier move. GambleOn: Play Russian Roulette with your service in the name of saving power -- for the environment, or something. Random outages to help save power at the cost of reliability and quality of service. We'll even occasionally shut our home market off or a market near you. Because who needs coverage. Just go back inside!

Awesome posts. I think he wins the award for December 4. But that's not my jurisdiction

Okay that worked. Sorry for the confusion, but a note along with the script could be useful in the future. Thanks.
-
That makes perfect sense because Verizon does continually have an edge on the RootScore reports. It must make magentans jealous.

I wouldn't disagree in essence. On paper that sounds good, but in reality it would never work. AT&T doesn't have a lot of points for perception. People and the media would mock AT&T for violating NN and that T-Mobile is a maverick so that's okay. That's why it would be a battle better fought by VZW (different discussion, though) if it all (and I don't think that would end up working either, but I regress), because they have way more "points" from people having good anecdotal or overall experiences, for getting people enough 1xRTT back in the day and the infamous VZW narcissism that wasn't countered by any carrier until T-Mobile (good job there). People forget that despite the similarity in nature between the big two, people like and know VZW far, far more.

But, Evan. I went to an unloaded sector in the middle of the night and I got 130/45. And I ran 20 repeat tests. That's obviously evidence that people are choosing the wrong speed test server and embarrassing themselves!
-
AT&T is still better than T-Mobile in NYC as a whole. lol BURN! (Note: That's not denying Verizon and Sprint do better in many categories. It's an insult to how T-Mobile is supposed to be so much better)

It does not work in latest version of Firefox. What browser (and version) did you test that on? Thanks.

Cheapest way to get LTE service from Verizon/AT&T/USCC?
cortney replied to Trip's topic in General Topics
There's also Consumer Cellular that's good for low data amounts. Trip could bill per use minutes and then select the lowest data plan if he just needs the signal for plotting. -
It just has to look more like this with different text:

The ones carriers put out for the entire public. And I'm glad you view me as a Premier Sponsor -- I'm humbled.
-
I still can't stress how they need to also figure out how to make a new map. They can keep the old one available for people who like it so much. But I hope they're working a whole new bigger, cleaner map besides differentiation. That needs to be Sprint's 2016 resolution: Clean up the site UI, clean up old links and areas of site. Please!

Not going into politics, but there seems to be a common theme with magentans. And ironically, they'll turn around and be SJWs. Not only do they believe in an entire dogmatic complex from their carrier politics alone, but this group are bigots too. Must be pleasant people.
-
I agree - All the Sprint vs T-Mobile nonsense does is leave Verizon and AT&T laughing their butts off. It's dumb. They are an unstoppable force and the only way they'll wake up if it they choose to pull their heads out from behind and start accepting reality. So long as they're nestled in the middle of cities as most are, it isn't happening because then comes the apologetic and excuse complex. And I agree some more. They are targeting an audience and are winning. They are a for-profit company and the idiotic belief that they care about customers any more than Sprint, Verizon or AT&T is tiring. They are not for morals, they are not for customers or "pain points". They are for the same thing their competitors are for: money.
-
Which for them all translates to: My carrier-related political beliefs won't allow me to use Sprint (or sometimes AT&T/Verizon), so I must stay on T-mobile no matter how inferior the service is and use anecdotal evidence, childish excuses, and every good experience I can find to justify it.
-
I don't blame you. It's not really possible to pick any one carrier that will work for everything or everywhere. That's why the alternative to carrier flopping is having at least 2 carriers to begin with.
-
Nice ping, too. I wonder what we'll start to see in the next couple months as their unlimited gift starts to give.

Well duh (not to you). Everyone who uses Ookla knows there's that pesky server or two that never gives good results. And for some there's the server that gives good pings but crap speeds, and good speeds but horrible pings. Ookla's app is incredibly unreliable and the amount of time it takes them for bug fixes is obscene. It rarely works on WP, it's buggy on Android and the servers still hold it back on iOS. Today's Magenda: "Oh it's never our carrier, you all are just speedtesting with the wrong sever, that's it". If it were AT&T, Sprint or in some cases Verizon it would obviously be clear cut, proven congestion. Oh, and of course 5 bars and I'm glad SignalCheck wasn't open which probably would have revealed a -39 to -49 dBm signal and in the app a full SNR.
