you are so right. It is Verizon. And for grandfathered unlimited users, they can add hotspot and it's unlimited as well.
-
Don't even know how anyone can use that much without tethering illegally. You would have watch video's all day all month to do that.
-
I think some of you misunderstood the 500mb cap T-Mobile has. It is unlimited data with 500mb 4G/LTE. You can still use 10GB but it will be slowed to either 3G or 2G. The caps they have are soft caps not ones like Verizon or At&t where you pay extra for overages. So $50 plan will work for AJ and others who don't "abuse" their data. While I agree that data should be offloaded to Wifi when you can, no one should tell someone on the bus that they have no life because they are staring at a small screen the whole time watching a movie off LTE/3G. It's their choice to make and it's your choice to not use the data even when you can. No need to complain about how people use the data they pay for. If/When Sprint changes their data model, people will decide to stay or leave based on their usage pattern. Again, it's everyone's choices since everyone is different.

Because nothing is happening to Sprint recently to talk about.

I don't have a quote. I was tracking the live blogs and that's what one of the bloggers said. I went back and can't seem to find it. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I guess we will see the sensorly maps with mapped area of the cities that was announced and know if it was everywhere or in spots. Even that I know isn't accurate. No proof to argue for it or against it I guess unless you live in those places and have T-Mobile phone.

But they are saving money. The price of the phone is less then what you would pay full price. Just using iPhone as an example, it's 100+(20X24)=$580 compared to $650. That's a $70 savings. And they can always sell or trade up if they want to and still pay less monthly.

Seems like T-mobile is announcing fully converted cities for LTE. Well that's what the CEO said during the press conference. But since NYC isn't on the initial list of cities, I can't say for sure. I hope Sprint finishes LTE before they do here in NYC.
-
I think T-Mobile will do well in big cities. HTC One for 99 bucks and 20-30 bucks for 24 months. That's no different from subsidy but your price plan goes down afterwards. That's awesome.
-
Sensorly is waiting for Apple to ok the updated App. Speedtest was broken on the old one. Sorry, the mapping won't be available according to Sensorly guy/gal.
-
For Sprint yes. It means nothing. For other companies, they announce when it's fully up. Meaning T-mobile has finished before Sprint.
-
If they announce NYC market, that means they finished converting the whole market. That is quite fast compared to the speed which Sprint is going. That would matter to people. And now t-mobile would be a lot more attractive in NYC.
-
I wonder if T-mobile will announce LTE in NYC before Sprint. That would be terrible.

Sorry. I meant T-mobile. -

I think I read somewhere that Sprint will have the best spectrum for 20X20 LTE deployment once the merger completes. Saying they have a great future. I hope so... we need more players to make prices cheaper. -
Not much new LTE actions going on in NYC... But Sprint telling me that my tower near home is going live 3/29. I know it's Sprint CS so I take it with grain of salt but its good news.
-
that is what they told me too. With so many towers not working because of sandy down here, they said that new NV towers will be up and running by end of March. That doesn't mean LTE, but the new towers with 3G (?) should be up so that we don't have only 2 towers serving million of us. But if LTE is indeed turned on by end of March here, then I won't complain about it being turned on.
-
Agreed. Don't know what the point in all of the speedtests.
-
That explains why I am getting such poor speeds on a 3G accepted tower in downtown Manhattan. How long before all of the clusters are completed after the accepted report?
-
I think that's what everyone means when they speak the official launch talk. Since it is prelaunch, LTE towers going on and off is more wide spread. After launch, we are hoping the towers don't come on and off excessively. Instead it's on and goes down once in a while. Thanks Robert.

In other news.... NYC is at 40%!!!! went from 20 something % to 40% in 3 weeks.
-

You are so absolutely right.
