An interesting development. Boost Mobile founder would pay $2B for brand back from Sprint ahead of T-Mobile mega merger The agreement with Dish for both Boost and Virgin is for $1.4 billion.

No one knows.

Ok good. You scared me there.

You're using WEP?? WEP hasn't been even remotely secure for years!

The network speaking for itself will lose them loads of subscribers due to the inevitable congestion. What good is free service for first responders when it's congested and unusable?
-
John Legere responds to AT&T. Coming from a company that calls HSPA+ 4G you've got no room to talk Johnny boi.
-
tbh I'd never use it without Sprint's 2.5GHz. It would be congested and worthless all the time just like their service currently in a lot of places.
-
More than what I've got here. 10x10 band 2 that's deployed as 5x5. Non-contiguous 10x10 band 66 that's deployed as 5x5. 5x5 band 12. 20x20 band 71 that's deployed as 5x5. Gives me a grand total of 20x20 for LTE.
-
They only have 10x10 600MHz in your area? Wow. Prepare for some of the worst 5G speeds you have ever seen lol. My area is 20x20. They just dropped L600 from 10x10 to 5x5 so it should be 5x5 LTE and 15x15 5G NR.
-
They should be deploying 5G on 600MHz at 15x15 most places. That would only leave 5x5 for LTE most places.
-
The downgrade from 10x10 to 5x5 on b71 makes sense now with the 600MHz 5G-that's-the-same-speed-as-4G-so-it's-not-really-5G 5G announcement.
-
Another coverage map update today. 5G expansion seems to be continuing at a good pace (except for Chicago for some reason). I'm seeing live 5G sites well outside of metro LA and other sites expanding outwards from the first 9 cities.
-
I've yet to see 2+71 aggregation in my area. Not that it would do much good anyway tbh. Bands 2, 4, 12, and 71 are deployed as 5x5.
-
AT&T roaming as soon as you leave town or get off a major highway. In town the coverage is good but the data speeds suck.
-
Just wish T-Mobile wasn't so utterly disappointing in my area.
-
That's where my mom lives! I was just there like two weeks ago. T-Mobile was good for the most part. I saw a couple of sites with 600MHz panels up.
-
Still a much better plan for only $10/mo more.
-
I'm sorry but you're not going to convince me that's even a remotely good plan for the price. If it was $5/mo then I would say it's decent. It's not a good deal when you can get unlimited on the Verizon network for only $10/mo more.
-
But you can get unlimited with Visible for $25/mo with party pay. It's such a bad plan for what you can get with everyone else. I should probably say that entire announcement wasn't trash, just the majority of it. The First Responders thing was cool.
-
Per year. It's such a garbage plan. That entire announcement was trash.
-
I noticed this when I was in Detroit this past weekend. Before service in the RenCen was nonexistent or unusable if you actually managed to grab an LTE connection. This year seemed to be better in that I actually got decent speeds deep inside the building where I could barely hit 200Kbps with worthless band 26 before. Speeds weren't amazing (10-30Mbps) but it was actually usable. T-Mobile was almost completely unusable the entire time and Verizon (who has a DAS in there) was extremely slow. I also noticed improvements at the airport. Test I did one night in the main ballroom: Sprint DL/UL: 14.4Mbps/810Kbps T-Mobile DL/UL: 8.21Mbps/830Kbps Verizon DL/UL: 2.12Mbps/7.46Mbps
-
Probably because they realize that 5G on a channel of 20MHz or less is stupid so they're trying to give NR on 600MHz as much spectrum as possible. I've seen quite a few posts about them going from 10x10 to 5x5 on r/tmobile.
-
Band 71 speeds in my area are hot garbage now that they went from 10x10 to 5x5. They're about as bad as worthless band 12. I always laugh at the people who think band 71 is the congestion savior.
-
Is that tool free to use? That gives me 2x2 MIMO correct? If you had to guess, how high off the ground would you say they are?
