Hey! I was born in the 90s and I watched tons of Seinfeld.

I believe that's YouTube's error 500 message.

FTTH preforms amazingly well at least from what I've seen with Verizon's network. I was specfically speaking about fiber from a company like Timewarner cable/Roadrunner as you can see below. Even if we remove the latency from HFC we still have latency of ~27ms to get outside of their network traceroute to google.com (74.125.225.32), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 cpe-71-72-32-1.neo.res.rr.com (71.72.32.1) 10.374 ms 11.444 ms 30.483 ms 2 tge1-4.elyroh1-swt401.neo.rr.com (24.164.104.161) 11.246 ms 11.316 ms 11.368 ms 3 tge1-50.vermoh1-swt402.neo.rr.com (24.164.113.114) 12.251 ms 12.654 ms 12.705 ms 4 tge1-49.vermoh1-swt401.neo.rr.com (24.164.113.112) 12.546 ms 12.613 ms 12.647 ms 5 tge1-1.peruoh1-swt402.neo.rr.com (24.164.110.45) 13.021 ms 18.500 ms 19.564 ms 6 tge1-2.peruoh1-swt401.neo.rr.com (24.164.110.46) 19.444 ms 12.847 ms 13.385 ms 7 tge1-2.lodioh1-swt401.neo.rr.com (24.164.110.60) 14.291 ms 15.179 ms 15.239 ms 8 tge1-2.bathoh1-swt402.neo.rr.com (24.164.117.94) 15.293 ms 15.018 ms 15.004 ms 9 tge1-6.bathoh1-swt401.neo.rr.com (24.164.117.70) 21.012 ms 21.922 ms 21.985 ms 10 tge1-3.stvloh1-swt401.neo.rr.com (24.164.117.83) 21.676 ms 20.967 ms 20.063 ms 11 tge1-1-0.clevoh1-rtr01.neo.rr.com (24.164.117.157) 19.997 ms 16.220 ms 15.299 ms 12 tge11-0-0.ncntoh1-rtr1.neo.rr.com (24.164.118.96) 19.519 ms 19.626 ms tge11-0-0.ncntoh1-rtr2.neo.rr.com (24.164.118.98) 19.429 ms 13 tge1-0-1.ar01.clmkohpe.mwrtn.rr.com (65.25.137.233) 33.001 ms 32.964 ms 32.951 ms 14 ae0.tr00.clmkohpe.mwrtn.rr.com (65.189.140.142) 26.105 ms 26.349 ms 29.887 ms 15 ae-9-0.cr0.chi30.tbone.rr.com (107.14.19.16) 42.995 ms 47.295 ms 41.616 ms 16 107.14.17.147 (107.14.17.147) 36.953 ms ae-1-0.pr0.chi10.tbone.rr.com (66.109.6.155) 39.657 ms 107.14.17.147 (107.14.17.147) 37.464 ms 17 * * * 18 209.85.254.122 (209.85.254.122) 40.271 ms * * 19 * * * 20 * * * 21 * * * 22 * ord08s06-in-f0.1e100.net (74.125.225.32) 32.571 ms 39.052 ms Also... what the hell did I just start by saying server monkeys.... I was more or less using it to refer to incompetent IT workers.

I was pretty much defining AAV as Fiber or Metro ethernet from a cable co or other residential/"Business" provider (Even on Fiber from a residential provider you get absolute shit.) which in general is a bad idea in my area at least, the local cable co has 30ms latency at the very least before you even attempt to reach the outside of their network. If AAV is temporary I can see it working out well for quick deployment but otherwise it's a very bad idea, I rather have microwave to a tower serviced by proper fiber than AAV via string and a largely incompetent NOC/Group of Server Monkeys.

AAV can be a very bad idea when you want good performance and reliability. It's best to just have Sprint get fiber from someone like Level3 or use their own fiber network when they can. They could also use another provider to do a local loop back to their own fiber instead of running their own fiber all the way out to the tower.

EvDO Rev. A is limited to 3.1Mbit/s per channel but you're likely to only see about 2.54Mbit/s max, Basically you're sharing that 3.1Mbit/s with everyone connected to that channel.

Network Vision is in progress and will probably be completed by the end of the year. Network Vision está llevando a cabo y es probable que se completará a finales de este año.

Right, they can change it, but you can't (at least currently).

Most likely a language barrier, or both, and if it's both we're going to have a bad time.

No it has to do with a base station setting and with LTE phones you can't even change the PRL as LTE phones store the PRL on the RUIM and don't have a DM feature.

doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with Wilson. He's using completely different antennas and no amplifiers.

That's for the HTC Evo 4G (WiMax) it's on a completely different frequency.

It's probably via a VOIP ATA integrated into their modems. Edit: I forgot that I had a Clearwire VOIP ATA, I got it cheap from bestbuy and just set it up with voip.ms. Product Name: SPA-2102

So would you say his uncle works for Sprint?

Nope.

LTE and CDMA on 1900Mhz should have the same propagation characteristics after network vision so if you get 3G & Voice you'll get LTE. LTE is better with lower signal from what I've seen you can get speeds of 20mbit/s at signal levels of -106dBm vs CDMA which drops down to 0.05mbit/s or less at -106 dBm. WiMax is a broadband technology, it's not meant for Voice, SMS, or MMS.

It could be a base station on top of a preexisting building instead of an actual tower.

So right now it's just a financial issue?

eHRPD exists for CDMA to LTE hand-off, WiMax to EvDO is impossible because no hand-off technologies exist. 3G to WiMax and WiMax to 3G hand-off probably doesn't have a hand-off method/technology to my knowledge. 3G is ran by Sprint and WiMax is ran by Clearwire, there's latency and involved that could possibly cause problems. LTE should be able to handle hand-off from carrier to carrier without issue regardless of frequency.

Sorry it took so long to reply, I completely forgot about doing so. It's nothing technical, most likely financial as Robert said. The phone would do hand off from 1900 to 850 without issue, CDMA networks follow your phone. Your phone controls what it connects to, The towers don't (aside from authorization.).

The only way your AT&T Phone would be affected is if both AT&T and Sprint where using the same back haul provider on the same towers (in the case of microwave), but then it'd also affect 3G. I'm not sure if it could be network vision related either because I don't know where Austin is on the schedule, but if it where to be I still doubt there would be any issue with your AT&T service.

This article is poorly written. PRLs basically do what the author is describing as "Signal-sniffing".

There is no point for them to release a RUIM as their devices are the only ones that support their spectrum. It would be nice to switch between Sprint devices, but it's pretty easy to switch devices on the sprint website.

I doubt it. It's likely that it relates to the chance of people using their Mobile phones LTE RUIM for unlimited LTE on data cards and tablets without a tethering/tablet/mobile broadband plan.
