Many people can not afford or don't have the need for an ISP.  Smartphones and LTE tablets are their computers. The carriers have tie-ins with streaming TV services like Netflix or Hulu which further enable this.

i person rather pay for a isp then 

we still have a land line phone and use it alot we get a lot more out of isp then the phone we get 100/100 true unlimit  way more then most cell phone provider use  and i person perfer a networkcable to isp then wireless 

i doint get how people cant afroed a isp we only pay 120$ for all 4 of use can use it i look at cell phone place the simuarl one was more like 200 or more for a lot less data

The statement that 2.5 does not penetrate buildings is untrue. I can get 100Mbps inside my home on 2.5 CA with 64QAM and 2x2 MIMO.  Now definitely lower frequencies are best at building penetration.

I am wary of starting from the premise that 2.5 does not penetrate buildings and applying it to mmWave.  Some of the things learned from 2.5 should help with mmWave.  Massive MIMO would be first on my list.  Picking the best reflected signal should help.  They will also need overlapping sites. A big difference will be the carrier size.  We will be going from today's 20Mhz to 100MHz for 2.5 5G NR and 400MHz for 28GHz 5G NR.

The biggest question is how far can the phone transmit.  Perhaps mmWave should be paired with a lower frequency like AWS for that reason, but it might already be too late for that decision.  

Today's small cells will likely have mmWave added plus they will need more.  mmWave makes the most sense for dense areas.  It could also be used to keep people who are close to cell sites from hogging a larger share of low frequency bandwidth to the detriment of those further out.

why  do people need it inside a house i can get public  place or some else home but not your own  home since when i am at home it is wifi  i even put my phone on air plane mode

Well, if CDMA will go away, VOLTE will be enabled on all. If the merger goes through, T-mobile will sunset CDMA quickly. They might leave 1x800 on for a little while longer. I would not worry about it right now. I am sure they will offer generous incentives to purchase a new handset.

i doint buy one on contrack or see any new one i like to buy it only do pre paid cell phone plan so a new phone is a lot of mony for me 

is it ok to ask in this topic or should i start a new one 

i have a moto g4 play  witch doint seem to have voice over lte unless it is not enable how to tell how long it would work on the network  it is on  tello

I'm on an Unlimited Freedom family plan with 7 lines and a $5/month Corporate discount for each line, so my overall cost is pretty good.

Unlimited Basic is $60/Month with AutoPay/eBill.

The 2 GB plan is $40/Month with AutoPay/eBill.

Sprint offers $5/month Corporate Discount, but if you're a member of a Credit Union, check this out: https://www.lovemycreditunion.org/sprintcreditunionmembercashrewards

still it is more then what i am paying a year for tello as long as i use the phone ever 3 month which is not a isuse i just pay for what i use it could be as low as 10$ for the whole year i think some where around 50$ i use only about 200mb a month and the odd tex mesage  her or there most time i am on wifi

Agreed. I gave up on Sensorly when it stopped recording and they stopped responding to me.

I use the RootMetrics App regularly in the DC Area and up in Bethesda. Mapped a number of hexes around Downtown DC the other day. Saw some substantial improvements and turned a bunch of hexes darker blue with faster speed tests. Eliminated a few orange hexes as well. Reported the slow areas in the My Sprint App. Great way to get more steps in! 😀

wow you much have lot of mony i can't aford to do sped test on the cell network i pay per mb it is the only plan i can aford i may pay about a mont or 2 of regular unlimited  over a whole year 

how many people here go for pre paid pay as you go  and almost never stream  video or audio 

to me all this speed upgrade just mean hope price go down i doint reelay need the speed i seem to use only 10 mb a day give or take or less some day 0 like today 

options  on open signal 

is any one still in this topic 

what is the data usage of the app any way to limit it just to wifi i am on a limit data place becaser i doint want to speed much mony for data
