Charlie is like that drunk guy in the club constantly trying to hit on your girl and get in your face. You try and be cool because you don't want to get kicked out, but he just keeps on and keeps on until you finally just say to hell with it and beat the living crap out of him. What's the "nuclear option" for Sprint & SoftBank to get rid of this pest once and for all?

Softbank buys Dish and kicks Charlie to the curb.

That's what I'm getting at...is there a time-frame on how long before new phones come out with new tech for LTE bands?

Sorry, I assumed that you had already read on here that the tri-bands were expected this fall.  You know what they say about assuming,  I walked right into it.

If you have an S3 I would wait for Tri-band LTE, if I was you.

No sir.  I signed in the day I signed up back in november of 2012 and never have again.

The local sprint site went 3g live last week and I can say that I have noticed my phone to roam much less.  This in turn has given my battery some extended life.  One thing I noticed yesterday is that I was over 10 miles from the site and still connected to it, in the past I would always roam  at half that distance.  Voice was still working fine, data on the other hand was useless at that distance(signal was -115 to -120 dbm).

lol, yeah I noticed.

Just wanted to say Happy Memorial Day to everyone.  Also, a special thanks to the S4GRU members who have served, or currently are serving, in the armed forces.  Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Knowing Verizon they probably will be happy to provide one......for a fee.

This could be true.  I know that the sprint panels are point in my direction.  I have not really investigated the cellcom site that I roam on so I am not sure about that one.

I agree.

I can not wait til 1x 800 arrives in my area either.  When at home I constantly bounce from roaming on a site that is less that 2 miles away and native sprint signal from a site that is roughly 5 miles away.  What confuses me is that I am usually between -105 and -115 from either of them.

I never have issues with voice calls at this signal but texting can be a pain at times.  The main problem is when Im roaming it causes my phone to burn through the battery while it just lays on the coffee table. 1x 800 will hopefully eliminate my roaming.

Any update on the Northern Wisconsin rollout? Specifically Green Bay.

Nothing new lately.  LTE is live in Fond du Lac and Stevons Point and there has been some 3g accepted in the market.  Other than that there has not been anything.

I was in no way trying to say that satellite was a good option.  Slow speeds, data is capped at low amounts and it is pretty expensive.  Then again my 3/1 Time Warner at $45/month is no steal either.  Anyway, just wanted to say that it was available.  In areas like where my parents live it is better than the only other option they have, which is dial up.

Not always possible to get it. Most of the US can not get it, not most people, just most of the land area. People who live in the cities assume everyone can get it. And when people can get, they have no choices, served by monopoly telephone companies like CenturyLink, that don't offer speeds over 1.5 Mbps. Lie about their services, where it can be down for days at a time, or where a 1.5 Mbps service only achieves 0.2 Mbps.

 

There is satellite available across the country. Granted the speeds are not that great and it its usually capped, but it is available.

I want to know how to get that job, get paid to pull shit out of my ass all day.

Get a management job with Caterpillar.

Yes it's the NV sites complete map. Any idea what's up with the 'Warning: Unresponsive script' issue that happens every time it loads?

 

Pretty sure that is firefox having an issue. The brownells website constantly does that to my firefox

Mine opens up to the wimax map in Green Bay WI just like always. Kinda wierd that some have issues and others do not. Firefox 20.0.1 here

Are you saying that you are using your airave in your home for data and getting 25-30 down? Why dont you just connect your phone via wifi to your home broadband connection. That is what you are technically using for data anyway, when connected to the airave.

ffs I'm not getting it. No matter how many times I clear data

Me either, I gave up

awesome, hope you enjoy it

i don't agree, even though this is a "sprint 4g update" site this topic is in the "general topics" section and even though its not about cellular things it doesn't mean that as a community we can't discuss other things going on.

I completely agree. Also due to the fact that I work a 12 hour night shift from 6pm to 6am and last night i ended up staying until 8 am. I did not know anything about this until now. Thanks rukin.

it covers the northern half of wisconsin

Its not that 1900 is bad. Its that a device with connectivity on all three bands will be able to utilize the completed network to its full potential and Network Vision awesomeness

I have one question. I've read somewhere on here about a "tilt" on towers. Does tilting upward/downward determine the distance of how far 3G/LTE signals can reach areas?

yes sir you would be correct
