| Does this mean no wireless for me! Does this mean I won't have wireless broadband next year?
FCUK! I really was looking forward to going fulltime wireless. I invested $4k+ on a new laptop to replace my desktop, and was going to drop my cable internet service in favor of (although slower) Wimax so that I could truly be mobile.
Yet again, Sprint breaks my freaken heart, fcuks with my future plans and the investors fail to look at the bigger picture.
Bigger picture according to me:
Verizon is has a good network, yet not very flexible when it comes to data services, AT&T (GSM blows in terms of voice quality), and I’d rather use a 14.4 modem than EDGE, T-Mo I’ve seen data move faster at 300 baud than with T-Mo’s data services now Sprint is a different animal. Sprint’s Data Service is beyond great, flexible and the best and most affordable out there. But they don’t know how to sell themselves. For starters customer service reps should have brains larger than a peanut.
If Sprint scales down their WiMax initiative they might as well become the next MCI. High Speed data services availability is the only thing that sets Sprint apart and only the only advantage it has over the rest of the providers. The only way sprint will have an advantage over the competition is by having HIGHER speeds & data services availability, therefore the next guy has to always play catch up.
Sprint – Verizon – T-Mo – AT&T they all offer the same core of services… a wireless phone and multi-media (who cares about TV on a phone) their costs are very much the same. It what they offer beyond the basic stuff that will set them apart. | |
| Interesting. Dump your Cable connection? Wow. It will be quite some time before most folks decide to dump their cable and/or DSL connections. The quality just won't be there yet those of us who are accustomed to low ping times and complex web pages which load nearly instantaneously. The reliability of Cable internet for a lot of people is what will keep us, that's for sure. The upcoming 3G speeds that will be provided by ATT are certainly going to throw a wrench in what's being currently offered by Sprint in the form of EVDO.
It's interesting too that you choose to make such a generalization about the voice quality of GSM (over CDMA). Keep in mind that most of the time it has more to do with where on a particular network you are using the cell service and with a particular piece of hardware (Motorola/Nokia/Samsung). Voice quality can certainly be somewhat different but equally acceptable for GSM and CDMA technologies. Did you stop to consider that where you used ATT/Cingular GSM perhaps the network was the issue(?) I don't comprehend how you could think that is the same in all locations. If GSM were so bad/unacceptable, how would ATT continue to be so huge(?) | |

| I carry both a sprint phone and an ATT crackberry. Every where I've been from Toronto, Mont-tremblant, the FL Keys, over to the Nevada, Colorado, California, the caribbean, mexico and everywhere in between where GSM & CDMA services are both active, I get better voice quality using a CDMA phone.
I could be in midtown manhattan and I rather use my sprint phone than my crackberry. 8 out of every 10 calls I make on my crackberry sound horrible, people on the other end sound like robots speaking.
Your average cell phone user doesn't understand or even care how a phone call on a cell phone goes through. GSM & CDMA are foreign terms. | |
