How much time does Dish have left on their existing spectrum for build out requirements?
-
That makes sense for Verizon, as they still have x amount budgeted for capex every year, and if LTE coverage is everywhere they have to do something with the money.
-
I thought once upgraded backhaul is in place, the backhaul is scalable? Meaning once the fiber is there, if backhaul is at 100mbs then they can just dial it up to 250mbs. Like calling up Comcast and upgrading plans.

The iPhone for life plan is a good lease plan because iPhones get a discounted rate plan.

I have an LG G3 and mms/picture messages do come through when I'm on WiFi calling.

I hate bulky cases too, but I use this slim snap on case that doesn't add very much bulk. http://www.amazon.com/Caseology-Protective-Verizon-T-mobile-Unlocked/dp/B00KQYXGUQ/ref=sr_1_41?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1419359221&sr=1-41&keywords=lg+g3+case

I thought this was common knowledge. AT&T and Verizon both included hot spot when they stopped doing unlimited and started offering their data share plans.

Sprint Meets Its 2014 Network Milestones; Sets Its Sights on the Year Ahead
avb replied to dkyeager's topic in General Topics
For me I would like Houston to be completely blanketed with b41 for a "Tokyo" like experience. Yeah I'm selfish. -
Will Sprint refarm PCS spectrum?
avb replied to Thomas L.'s topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Instead of refarming pcs spectrum, if they focused on filling in the gaps with additional towers or small cells it would help with both capacity and coverage. I'd rather see Sprint take this route. When Sprint starts launching additional b41 carriers for carrier aggregation I hope it's through small cells for increased coverage as well. -
After the winner is determined, I don't think it'll be a bad idea Robert if you kept it for a week or two to test and also to validate the device on Sprint. I'm sure the winner wouldn't mind waiting an extra week or two.
-
I've checked Sprint's business site, and for a single line I see an unlimited plan for $65. Where do you see the plan you mentioned? I have an LLC that I might be able to take advantage of it when I add another line.
-
Sprint requires you to upload a copy of your bill, so this seems like a good idea to keep the front line reps from giving a better deal than what they actually qualify for.
-
Those are cities where Samsung is not the vendor, so I'm assuming only Samsung has started deploying/testing carrier aggregation? Just thinking out loud.
-
I like seeing b41 pop up more, but the weaker signal also means worse battery life. At my gym, my phone now floats between b41 and b26, with the b41 signal usually between 117-123dBm rsrp. Spending an hour at the gym I'll see my battery meter drop 15-20% when I'm done.
-
I hope when they deploy a second b41 channel that they do so with small cells or new towers/locations. When I get a b41 signal, even a low signal, I get more than usable speeds. I'd prefer more coverage with b41 than just speedtests when standing near a tower.
-
Wifi calling is as simple as turning on via the notification toggles. If it's the first time being set up it will ask you to put in an address for 911 emergencies, but after that you're good to go. As for the internet connection/speed, I don't know what kind of an effect it'll have on wifi calling.
-
I've seen that list, but I'm hoping Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent will also have a few priority cities as well.
-
I was hoping they would announce the 3-5 cities that would've be showcased for a full b41 deployment.
-
With Tmobile acquiring lower 700mhz licenses, when do we expect to see band 12 and devices with band 12 in the wild?
-
Any more impressions on signal strength on b41? The FCC numbers for band 41 blow everything else out of the water and I wonder if it's like that in real world usage.
-
Can you check to see what band you're on? That's a massive difference and I'd switch from my G3 for that alone.
-
You also don't pay sales taxes on the full retail price when using the lease program. 8% typical sales tax on a $650 device is another $50 out of pocket should you choose to buy the phone. So saving $170 + $50 = $220, which isn't too bad for the convenience.
-
I'm hoping Houston will be one of those cities. Houston is already further along than most other cities with b26 and b41, and since Sprint doesn't have enough spectrum to add a second pcs LTE carrier it would be a great way to alleviate congestion.
-
Wow that b41 performance seems significantly better than pretty much every other phone currently out there. I wasn't really looking to purchase the new iPhone because I think it's a lateral move from the LG G3 (barring Android vs ios debates) but if the b41 performance is significantly better then that could sway me. Do these FCC numbers generally translate to real world usage?
