slowsprint

Whatever I please.

Not for years, and even if they did they'd be more generous than the others. It is a big differentiator for Sprint. It is nice, but I have wifi so it isn't a selling point to me.

Someone should sensorly it. I'm sure it will be done shortly.

Anyone know how many towers they have done? It looks like they went from one in Lincoln and Omaha to a handful in each city. Looks like they're making good, quick progress.

Link = troll got it. Try not to be so petty. To make that claim that AT&T's variant reveals nothing regarding Sprint's is extremely short sighted. Do you know everything about every upcoming Sprint phone?

The sprint variant of that phone was discussed in this thread. Shows that it is close to release and that phone is supporting multiple bands. Don't need to get defensive because another company is releasing a phone before sprint.

Sorry if this is off topic, but it was touched on a bit in this thread, which areas of the country will sprint NOT have 800 mhz service? I think Robert had said it would cover most all of the USA.

Up until about the last month it has not been bad. But recently I have been getting more and more frustrated. I don't run many speedtests, but quite often I find web pages failing to load and if I do a speedtest it comes back saying .1 mbps even though my phone claims full 3g. My town never got wimax and still isn't listed as an LTE "coming soon" recipient. Phone price isn't really an issue, but it also makes me a little mad to see Sprint pricing their Galaxy s4 higher than other carriers. And the $100 off deal to new customers really seems like they don't give a #$*& about their existing customers. It sucks and I strongly question whether it will be different in the next 12 months.

That Sprint is going to deploy the 800 MHz LTE but not sell a phone that can use it is a real mystery. They were selling LTE phones before they had any LTE so I don't know why they'd hold back in this situation. Frustrating. I really wanted the S4. I wonder if Sprint will get a Nexus 5?

Why do you need faster that 6-8 Mbps on a phone?

It would be foolish to so quickly to dismiss incompetence and inaction at the highest levels of the company. Obviously we have some ideas that would help Sprint.

Ughh my post sounds bad. How far behind are they? Do we have any realistic ideas? I would guess at least 6 months.

That's a convenient stance. What will you tell people when Sprint doesn't meet it's target completion date?

The wireless industry thinks everything is confidential and proprietary.

I know Phoenix used to be HEAVY VZW that was 5 years ago, I doubt it has changed too much.

Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska

My mistake I thought I'd read that it was supposed to be completed by the end of 2013

I was wondering if anyone knew where you could find how many customers Sprint has in each area? I know in some places in the Midwest the Verizon/Alltel merger really consolidated users to a single carrier.

www.phonearena.com/news/Sprint-gives-us-its-State-of-the-network-report_id37941 Says they be covering 250 mill ppl by the end of 2013 and 300mill in 2014. I wonder how many ppl they actually cover right now.

It was a simple question. Not negative. And I'm not sure why skepticism would not bode well on this site. Will it require hardware upgrades to operate on 800mhz?

So when can we expect LTE to be operating on the 800 mhz if at all?

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows how the upgrade to LTE Advanced will go? Is it just a software upgrade? Or are they going to have to go to every cell site and do some physical hardware upgrade? Is it true Sprint is going to move LTE to the 850 mhz spectrum occupied by IDEN when they finally get rid of nextel? Will this require new hardware? I'm just trying to understand how long it will actually be until sprint has comparable service to ATT and VZ. It looks like its going to be at least 6 months, probably closer to a year. Thanks for any help you're able to offer.
