Well that's a step in the right direction. 

Either way this victimization culture is nauseating, at best.  Flippin millenials!

Sprint does send reminders that the lease is expiring too.  It's not like they are hiding the lease end from the customer. Everyone's a victim these days. If you admit that you're too naive or lazy, then you're admitting responsibility and copability...

Or is that culpability?  Or both?  ?

Truth. This victim pedestaling journalism has to stop.

BREAKING: Parking tickets for a spot can cost you more than paying the metered pricing.

*GASP* Say it ain't so, by golly!

Nope, not "designed," just documented.  That image is an unadulterated photo that I took of a VZW store while I was out and about on Friday night.

That's pretty ironic. Wasn't sure if it was manipulated or not. It only makes it better that it was not.  

The implication was that the image was posted (even designed)  specifically to poke fun at an actual outage. Seemed to make perfect sense. 

If no outage actually happened, cool. But I think we assumed one actually did. Hence, the image. 

Just reminds us that no one is immune to the occasional outage, not even Big Red.  Sometimes I think particularly egotistical people could use an occasional bitch slap (reality check?) as well.  Read: my former boss.

That said, cute graphic.  It did elicit a few hearty chuckles. 

I hope it still goes to the S7 and S7E. I guess it's the next logical step unless true voice over LTE is coming soon. But i think that's still a year away or so.

Not true. Worked on my Galaxy S7E on the first click. 

Not sure why others can't see it on their phones.

Not just Sprint. Basically all of the carriers had sites that were down including MetroPCS and Cricket.

It came back online after 8 a.m.

I wonder why the others you speak of were also offline. Surely there would be no connection amongst the 3?

Sprint's website and app have both been down all damn night. Hmm.

If I see improvements then yeah sure I'll gladly pay another $5 a month, but if there is none no way. You don't buy a new car without test driving it...

...which is how capitalism works. It tends to garner choice in services and products. Use whomever you want at whatever price point you want. Just don't expect Verizon level service at Boost prices.

Well if anyone is planning on deluding themselves into thinking that Sprint isn't gonna pass along the costs of massively upgrading its network along to its customers then this is your wake up call. 

This is how all of life works. You get what you pay for.  If Sprint is going to start pouring  $5-$6B+ into its network each year then they had absolutely better raise prices accordingly. I'd be surprised if they didn't. You can't buy a BMW with Honda Civic money.

To willingly take on the role of grammar Nazi on the internet is a brave move. Your stress level must be off the charts. 

It's pathetic you would say that.  When you can't even (or, worse,  won't take the time to) speak your own language correctly,  you are not just failing your own self but also EVERYONE AROUND YOU.

Enough said.

SoftBank likes Sprint so much that Masayoshi Son legally added Sprint to his name.

What a difference a comma can make...

Why are you wasting your time?  The absurdly egregious grammatical mistakes that occur with astonishing regularity by the members on this page never cease to amaze me. It's like a joke but far, far worse.

I always wonder what people are doing on their mobile connection that say that an upload over 5mb/s is not fast enough.  The pictured upload is faster than my real world speed tests on my home internet connection rated at 75mb/s down and 8mb/s up.  Any time my mobile connection is faster than my home internet, it is perfectly fine with me. 

Extremely fast upload is for hosting servers or uploading very large files.  Neither of those are what mobile connections are designed for.  That upload speed should do everything you want to do on a mobile connection quite quickly.

 My point exactly.

Honestly what sort of uploads are you doing that this (7.65 mbps) wouldn't take care of (and relatively quickly,  at that)?

What I can tell you is that a bunch of markets are already broadcasting Config 2, and check out massive speeds even without 4x4 MIMO..

Wait..these speeds are actually being realized currently in real world use? That's insane!

Yeah, it is. Less people have this phone now as it is getting slightly long in the tooth for the tech savvy and the "gotta-have-it" millenials. I still dig my S7E though but i do want to try out calling plus if we do ever get it.

I just got back from a 5 day trip to Lexington, KY (we are about to move back there after 12 years) and was pleasantly surprised by the proliferarion of mini macs. Speeds were not super fast but way better than it would've been without that deployment.  And band 25 CA is on every tower I connected to in the metro area (in cases where band 41 was absent).

Want this on the galaxy S7E. If anyone has heard anything, do pass it along!

Cool to hear a Sprint exec specifically mention 5 channel carrier aggregation in Sprint's latest press release (second to last paragraph, if you're having trouble finding it).  Down the line pretty far, I'm sure, but nice to see Sprint openly stocking the pipeline.

Carrier aggregation or no on this device? Seems a great phone and my lease is up on my GS7E and I'm seeking to keep my bill low so am planning to buy an unlocked "budget" device in cash.  Hoping to still keep CA though of some form.  

B25 CA is live all over central and western Kentucky and it was a nice stop gap in areas with minimal b41. So I'd like to retain that feature as I do travel there quite a bit.

Anyone know if we are slated to actually receive calling plus at some point on the GS7E? Or are we just screaming into the dark? 

Watched a few hands on videos with the device today and am impressed by not just its appearance but with its camera software and audio centric focus as well. Then there's that headphone jack which, for my needs, is still a better fit.  If Google Play Edition models were still made then this would be the dream device I never owned!
