    At least they give you a color for LTE. TMO colors any 3G, HSPA+, LTE shades of green depending on signal strength. Not the same thing.
  2. maximus1987/lou99
    Another thing I HATE about Tmobile: they won't show you on the map LTE vs HSPA+ vs 3G. They force you to zoom in ALL the way, click on a location and THEN they'll tell you what it is. Everyone knows TMO's coverage sucks do why are they trying so hard to obfuscate it?

    Sprint has been offering LTE phones since last year. Tmobile just two months ago.

    Spectrum acquired from ATT from breakup fee. http://gigaom.com/broadband/a-birds-eye-view-of-t-mobiles-new-spectrum-trove/11uax01-jpg/

    If we're getting picky, a single frequency is 0 bandwidth.
  6. maximus1987/lou99
    If the FCC doesn't drop the ball again with DTV interference, there will only be one band class.
  7. maximus1987/lou99
    Intra - non contiguous but same band class. Inter - two or more band classes. Sprint said it's not gonna do inter-band aggregation. In fact, Sprint's priority is LTE-Advanced CA using Clearwire's 2.5 GHz spectrum rather than Sprint's own holdings in Bands 25 and 26, said Doug Alston, the carrier's director of technology and strategy, who was quoted by RCR Wireless.

    FCC doesn't make the band classes.
  9. maximus1987/lou99
    Will FCC require 600 MHz interoperability?
  10. maximus1987/lou99
    How so you known it performed the same?
  11. maximus1987/lou99
    Aggregating two 5x5 carriers is not the same thing as 10 MHz FDD. Anyway, Sprint doesn't get any benefit from a network efficiency side from one 10x10 versus two 5x5. In either case, the bits/sec/Hz is the same. So, Sprint has no incentive to transition to 10 MHz FDD because that will only influence peak speeds and not average speeds.
  12. maximus1987/lou99
    You're thinking of carrier aggregation.
  13. maximus1987/lou99
    TMO just launched LTE so not surprising. We'll see what a year of adding unlimited users does.
  14. maximus1987/lou99
    I couldn't care less about the paid TV business.If Dish merging with DirecTV is what it takes to get it to stop screwing with wireless when it has no intention of doing anything, fine.

    In the TMO-Metro slides (above couple posts), it says 60-65% of metro subs get net phone every year. That means that each year, 35-40% don't so assuming a bunch of stuff, that means that after 2.5 years - when Legere said they're shutting down CDMA -there will be: [.35, .4]^2.5 = [7.2, 10.1]% of Metro subs (as of June 2013) who will still be on a CDMA phone. This assumes that TMO doesn't do anything, in terms of advertising, to push HSPA+ phones which is not the case.
  16. maximus1987/lou99
    It probably varies by market.
  17. maximus1987/lou99
    Why not? Maybe for rural customers but suburban, there's Comcast and uverse.
  18. maximus1987/lou99
    If TMO upgrades its rural sites to "only" AWS HSPA+21, I'll consider that MISSION ACCOMPLISHED lol. Does TMO really only have 10 MHz AWS and 10 MHz PCS in its most rural sites? I can't browse the FCC database right now but this site http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=99&p=1495 seems to indicate that TMO has at least 20 MHz of AWS everywhere, enough for HSPA+ and LTE.

    Can you make a Cydia app? You'd be able to use the hidden APIs.
  20. maximus1987/lou99
    In other Dish thread, an article from Seeking Alpha was posted that speculated Dish never had any intention of buying Sprint or Clearwire. It simply drove up the prices so that its own AWS-4 would be valued at a higher price by ATT. Dish would then merge with DirecTV which, unlike a decade ago, would actually be approved this time.
  21. maximus1987/lou99
    ?ATT doesn't have service in your area? ATT said 300 mil LTE end of 2014. Not sure what you're referencing.
  22. maximus1987/lou99
    Who else besides Sprint would want this block? I know Dish would force up the bid price just to screw Sprint but who else actually WANTS to deploy it?
  23. maximus1987/lou99
    There'd be a new band created having band 25 as a subset.
  24. maximus1987/lou99
    Does TMO's modernized hardware have the ability to do LTE over PCS?
  25. maximus1987/lou99
    Legere said they're gonna shut down CDMA end of 2015.
