I agree. I simply don't see the point of some anonymous individual saying goodbye to a group of other anonymous individuals. I personally don't care and I doubt anyone else does either.
As far as Sprint data speeds, it really depends on where you are. In most places where I get good signal, I have good data speeds, and in some areas of NYC I get over 1 Mb/s consistently on 3G, much like my friends on Verizon and AT&T. Verizon may be a bit better or more consistent, but I doubt it's worth the much higher cost and data caps. Still, it all depends on where you are, so it may be worth it for him.

If you're going to post nonsense contributing to an already pointless thread, at least provide some facts.
There are a lot of factors in saying they're the "best" carrier. I'll give you a bunch of factors why they aren't.
-Non-competitive rate plans (no any mobile any time, high prices, lack of features)
-No more repair centers (after warranty runs out you're screwed or making a claim)
-No unlimited data (4GB may sound like a lot, but on LTE your consumption rate skyrockets)
-Poor signal penetration (had many complaints while selling VZW about losing signal in house/work/stores)
-Lack of benefits for businesses (no PTT network and lack of discounts)
-Poor PR (bad employment conditions, pay with-holdings, lack of HR presence)
-Terrible customer service (no bill credits for 3rd party screw-ups or improper billing charges)
I can go on and on. No carrier is perfect, I have some nitpicks with Sprint, but faster data does not make Verizon the "best" carrier.

Not gonna lie when I was on Verizon service was perfect in my area or wherever I went. Bars stood high and calls were crystal. For Sprint it depends where you are more. I went with sprint because of it being cheaper and unlimited. But honestly i've never went past 3GB of data and i'm never on wifi

This is clearly a part of a new trend (I think )
I used to get 2.1-2.3 Mbps at home. I now feel lucky to get 1.5. Also around town, I've seen significant slowdowns in terms of bandwidth everywhere compared to what it was like a year or so ago.
Someone suggested that this phenomenon was the result of Sprint updating their hardware network. Maybe so, but one could hardly call this an "upgrade". While I have seen a consistent decrease in ping times (good), there was a complimentary decrease in bandwidth (bad).

Could simply be that more people are using the service. Unfortunately, all carriers in the US are painfully slow at upgrading their bandwidth capacity. I can get nearly double the speeds on both 3G and 4G during off-peak times in the same area. I've seen over 12 Mb/s on Wimax in the middle of the night, and barely 4-5 during the early evening hours, in the same spot. Our internet speeds in general are pathetic when compared with the rest of the industrialized world. There are countries where 1 Gb/s internet is commonplace, whereas here, Verizon charges something like $100+ per month for their top of the line FIOS internet. And it's still about 1/10 of what other countries are providing.

With sprint I rarely went over 2 gigs of data. I travel alot being a week gone and a week home. When I'm at home I'm on wifi and at the hotel I'm on wifi

One thing making the US behind other country's on Internet Speed is other company's can sell service off of another line. Check out their prices too you can get 50MB/s. For around 10-15 dollars a month.

Yeah I've run pretty much all of them (with the exceptions of FD19 and FD26). I had some decent ratings on FB27, FC05 and FD10 but EL29 always gave me the best.

I've had the best of luck on EL29 as well. Which isn't saying much however as the speeds are still MEH for me.

People will tell you every phone is different and you have to try them all but I really don't see how that could possibly be the case. There would have to be some serious quality control issues in Samsung's production line for that to happen. All of that said, I did try a whole bunch of them (EL29, FB, FC, FD) in one sitting to try to get as close to an apples to apples comparison as possible. EL29 came out the winner for me too.

I use FD19
FD19 has given me the best results so far. I am getting 1.3 Mbps down (with only -91db of signal in my middle-of-nowhere home.) This is versus FD26 which I only got 748Kbps down.

EL29 hands down. sitting in the exact same spot, FD26 hit avg. 0.45. first test on EL29 in the same spot got 1.56. averaged 0.75 on 4 tests. (In San Francisco)

3G and 4G speeds. I used to never get 4G in this spot. Yay for network vision?

Ok so sprint is suppose to be launching LTE on the 15th of July I my self do not live in one of the LTE launch cities ( El Paso Tx where I live probably won't see LTE till 2014 knowing sprint) back to what I was saying I will be in San Antonio the weekend they launch I'm excited to try this out seeing how I've never even tried wimax do u guys think sprints LTE speeds will be anything close to AT&T or Verizon's I've seen speed test up to 30 to 40 mb down I know that's not on average but still amazing u think sprint can compete? Also with this coming out how long u think sprint will stay unlimited....I barely get 10mbs from my local Time Warner cable at my house! if lte is pushing that speed and still unlimited I'll just tether like crazy..so i just want feedback anyone think unlimited data is coming to a end with lte or special lte plans coming out??

The actual websites may not be different, but there is definitely a difference in the data sent and received. For example, when your computer or phone requests a website, it sends information like which browser and OS you use. This particular info can be spoofed, so it's not a huge problem, but there are differences in the ways different operating systems handle packets, and that can't be hidden.

Sprint read packets being sent using free tethering and determining what you've been doing while tethering, most of this only occurs when tethering has been drastically abused.

3-5gb of data a lot? Lolololol. We have guys in the rezound forum, while I don't agree with what they are doing, hitting near a 1TB in a month. He has plenty of picture and video proof.
I do 15-20gb a month on LTE.
Also I don't think they can tell if you are tethering on LTE. All data looks identical.

no sprint WILL keep unlimited data and the lte will not be quite as fast as at&t or verizon perhaps a few megs slower but i could care less the 12 megs i got with wimax were plenty enough all i want is a LTE connection that does not drop every 5 mins sprint has to keep unlimted data otherwise they WILL lose millions of customers

Technically speaking it shouldn't be able to hit as high for peak speeds using a 5x5 carrier vs 10x10 that the other guys use. Sprint has expressed how they are not looking to get into a peak speed war with the other carriers (since they would lose at it), instead they intend to focus on consistency. The hardware they are using will be able to (in the future like 2013/2014) hand off between all of their spectrum for all of their services, and with the rebranding of the 800MHz their coverage will be dramatically increased for voice (and later LTE as well). If Sprint can make their LTE network consistently around 6-12MB/s and keep it unlimited I would be very happy.
As for staying unlimited, I don't see why they can't continue it for the next few years if they choose. Sprint will probably see a net decrease in the cost of operating their new network vs the old one and nextel, and if they are not going for all out peak speeds they won't have that to contend with. The unlimited is the ONLY thing that keeps a lot of people with Sprint, if it wasn't for that I know I would have left. This will continue to be the case, if they end unlimited, Verizon with their big network will look pretty. Verizon and AT&T with their faster LTE networks will look nicer. For the next two years at least the only thing that differentiates Sprint is unlimited, so I think it's unlikely they would change that.
Now, I do foresee Sprint throttling your speeds past a certain amount of usage (hopefully over 5 or 10GB), or during peak hours for heavy users, but as long as they only throttle to a respectable amount I can live with that.

Hopefully southern california gets 4g lte im dying here using the wifi at home

how fast are your 3G speeds?

Hey so I have a question for you guys. How fast are your 3G speeds? I'm asking because my gs3 won't go over 600 kb even at my best service. And my wifi is also extreamly slow. The wifi doesn't make sence to me Cuz my Droid x2 uses the same wifi and it gets triple the speed that my gs3 gets. Any one have the same problem or have a solution for this?

Roam Control

So I've seen a couple people running Roam Control, does anyone currently have it on their phone, if so, does it work? And what is the premise behind it. I've found a couple on the play store but not sure if they're the app or not. So I figured I'd ask around on here a little bit first. Thanks!

The official Roam Control app was removed from the play store.

That's his site.
Also - which or not this app works on your device is entirely location dependent. My area has old Alltel sites and it's impossible to force my phone to roam on them. Oh well. lol

Cool. Thanks. I'll look into it. I appreciate it.

Works for me every day. I've had that app since my og epic.
It basically forces your phone to roam on the nearest roaming tower.

Works well for me. I use it in conjunction with a Sprint corporate prl that gives 3g on roaming. There are a few slow towers here in town and if I need data I'll force roam. Oddly enough Sprint has faster data speeds where I live in the middle of town than Verizon does, so I don't have to use it much. It's a godsend when traveling though.

I don't necessarily think it's an AllTel issue. I have the same problem in Northern Wisconsin, which is mostly old AllTel towers (now Cellcomm). My S3 has a gel of a time maintaining s signal on the towers, no matter what PRL or modem I use.
However, my S2 works perfectly fine. I've even had then both on the same PRL to verify... I would get 3-4 bar with good 3g speeds on the S2, but often I would have LOS at the exact same time with the S3. My ZTE tablet also has far better reception in these areas than the S3.
I'm beginning to think there is something in the S3 hardware or firmware that was designed to make roaming more difficult.

What happens when you try to activate it? What do you mean by "never worked for me once?"
More importantly, what city do you live in?

It's worked great for me. What issues are you having? Maybe it's the vague nature of the emails or something.

I miss the Photon radio. Never had signal issues.

I get LoS as soon as I go roam only. Somebody mentioned before that it's because of the Alltel sites in my area but I have no idea how to elaborate any further on this.
I have turned on 3G roaming PRLs (such as 12124 and 56009), but they never work on forced roaming, always LoS. I tried roam control on CM10 yesterday and when I hit roam only, nothing happened. And I tried selecting GS3 in the settings and also tried Galaxy Nexus (figured it was worth a shot on CM10, since it's AOSP.)
