My observations for 2016 rootmetrics:

 

All 4 carriers experience decrease in data speed especially Tmobile and Att. It looks like very soon Tmobile and Att will experience network congestion unless they spend a huge amount of money like Verizon toward small cells to increase capacity and coverage. So far, Verizon is able to keep this problem under control because the amount of money they are spending toward densification. Sprint is lucky enough to have enough spectrum for the next few years.

As I recall, Subsidized Upgrades were being offered on a reactive basis for upgrades and add-a-lines.

Sprint's Wi-Fi offloading at airports grows to 22M customers, will expand to Boost, Virgin

For about months now from wentzville to saint peters ive be getting knocked down to 3g all the time. It stays on 3g till i cycle airplane mode then it will pick up LTE again. Just to shortly after drop back to 3g. Anyone else notice this. Any ideas why.

I was able to text, send picture mail and upload a photo to facebook last night. Granted the Facebook upload and pic mail took awhile but, they did work! I was in sec 107 a few rows off the ice. My phone pretty much stayed on band 26 but a few times it switched to band 25, and for a couple of times signal check showed band 41 but, it would go off before i could grab a screen shot.

Yes im sure more info will follow but, this is a intresting step forward i was expecting till next year some time

Looks like sprint is going to start allowing customers to bring your unlocked iphone from at&t and tmobile.

Has root metrics done any test in Saint Louis voice quality is good and data is so much better. It seems like sprint has a lot of customers in the Saint Louis Market.. Also a lot of 800 sites along with most of clear sites completed

1x 800 on south county (oakville) this is the 1st time ive seen 1x800 and I travel between oakville and wentzville.

I was able to stream the USA game (slingbox) inside spaghetti factory yesterday around 4pm on 3g standard quality of course.

Yes from south county all the way till wentzville. I noticed it yesterday too.

I asked this question on a sprint one up call back in October and the moderator said if a device is deemed rooted we can still perform a give back. I would assume same rules apply with give back and easy pay.

Starting today customer who are outside of 6 months can upgrade with easy pay and switch to Sprint Framily!

0-5 months since last discount are excluded.

These customers will  receive accelerated upgrades for Sprint Easy Pay.

We are not offering subsidized pricing to these early upgrades.

Give back will not be required.

These Sprint Easy Pay eligible customers will not be charged a $15 fee.

I like the bring your own device part but what it seems like is existing customers can't group up you can only group up with new customers if I understand this correctly.

What does the spark icon mean? 1900, 800, or 2500?

I picked up LTE at McDonald's off pierce Blvd in Wentzville. I'm not sure what site this is.

I learned that on the HTC ONE I can dial *#*#4636#*#* and put it in lte only mode. I wonder if I can pull LTE in by doing this in those areas like Wentzville parkway where Samsung and apple devices get LTE.

4G LTE has been being picked up the the Sprint store in Wentzville but only on Samsung and Apple devices. Do they have that much stronger of antennas? What site could that be coming from? How do you get site ID on an Apple device? No this isn't 20 questions.
