😲 Yes Sprint maybe the most powerful for a period of ten years wimax is capable of 70 megs download which is 490 megs of bandwidth and 30 megs of 210 megs of upload bandwidth the protocol sequence the death star at&t has released and will be building over time is capable of 50 megs of bandwidth upload 350 megs of bandwidth and the download link is 100 megs that is 700 megs of bandwidth over time at&t will be the data war between Verizon and Sprint sprint will be the most powerful for a long period of time but at&t deploys this amzing remarkable technlogy sprint will be left behind this is the truth people!!!

He was probably using 1xRTT as a fall back for Sprint's 100% nationwide blanket coverage of EV-DO.

Yeah okay AT&T employee. Cingular just copies Sprint. Sprint starting offer mobile TV back in 2001, so Cingular starting using Mobiletv, which Sprint helped build by the way. Sprint stared offering fully media-play phones, so Cingular starting doing it as well. This seems more like Cingular-AT&T incapable of coming up with great ideas, so they steal them.

It really doesn't matter at the end of the day anyways. How many complaints have been filed through the BBB against Verizon and Cingular for kicking customers off of their high-speed data network for using more then 7GB's of data on month? A few hundreds thousands so far. Now how many have been filed against Sprint? Not 1! So build, copy, mimic, do whatever. Until they give full freedom ...

if sprint starts the trend AT&T does it better, phone quality... speeds (wimax isnt out yet) and wait a second, sprint doesnt offer VIDEO CALLING at&t does 🤣 and you can watch mobitv on the EDGE network can you do that on 1xRTT?? 🤣

Wait, yes you can watch TV on 1xRTT.. and uh, where is the video calling when Cingular doesn't have broadband ANYWHERE.. Even places that I "have" it it doesn't work..

And need we mention call quality?

What area are you in? In Florida, Cingular has exceptional coverage and quality is great.

Cingular has as great coverage in Florida? Where? I used to live in Fort Lauderdale, and I never remember anyone making calls in Walmart, Samsclub, or any building with their Cingular phone?

What a lot of this comes down to is what people are told. I have noticed for years that your common cell phone user just except what they are told. Cingular hasn't won a JD Power award for their network in like 10 years. But the moment they buy that fauly data from that company to make it seem like they have the fewest dropped calls, then people starting saying "Yeah, the coverage is great! Because I don't understand anything about technology and this just makes sense to me now".

Show me data where Cingular has won some kind of vaild award for thei...

when did you have cingular to make these judgements, and what phone did you have?

and here in the st. louis market we have video calling, its amazing, sprint on the other hand pfff... thats all i have to say here in heartland america about the most powerful network (having the worst battery life shouldnt qualify you as the most powerful network)

I normally travel in and around Gainesville, Daytona through Tampa, including Orlando, Fort Myers, Ocala, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and tollways/free ways to the keys, and I have experiences exceptional coverage. There is a bridge in Jacksonville I lose coverage on, and there are some rural areas around Ocala (away from the normally travelled roadways), other than that, coverage is excellent.

Of course there are some buildings that coverage won't work in, but I don't recall Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, or Alltel guaranteeing in-building service within their deployed coverage area.

I don't spend a whole lot of time around Ft. Lauderdale other than driving through. Was it recent? Most Wal-Marts, Sams Clubs, and Publix stores in F...

Well I "did" live in Tallahassee and well, Cingular sucked there. Now I live in Baltimore/Washington and it is actually even worse.

Does it better? Who says? The bull **** claims they paid for making it seem they have the fewest dropped calls? The fact that EV-DO cost 1/3 to buildout then WCDMA for about the same speeds? The same will also go for WiMax.
I am able to watch MobiTV on the 1x network. Even while roaming. Oh, that is right, Sprint uses roaming as a fall-back, not just to fill in gaps where Cingular does. That means Sprint customers have a few different networks to use in any market. Where a Cingular customer will just not get service.
So now that I bashed those down, give me some more examples that don't work.
What has Cingular ever done better then anyone else? Except for making huge lies, that only a child would believe.

Until they give full freedom access like Sprint, they won't keep customers happy with their trash data services.
And what happen to the huge speeds from their WCDMA networks? They haven't even been clocking anywhere near what they claimed. They are still slower then Sprint.


Sprint went on a "Termination Binge" as it purged custom...

One thing that AT&T has an advantage over is the simultaneous use of DATA while making a VOICE CALL. CDMA carriers Verizon and Sprint can't match that as right now.

Yes, that's what I mean. With AT&T you can surf the net on the phone while you're talking on it. Very nice with a bluetooth headset, giving your hands free range to browse with.

Dah! EV-DO RevA! It's VoIP! My phone is set right now so I can stream data and get phone calls. That is why Sprint and Verizon are upgrading to the faster protocol.

I guess I'm not familiar with VoIP plans and phones that Sprint and Verizon currently offer.

Would you be willing to elaborate?

Actually even though EV-DO Rev. A has the bandwidth to support simultaneous voice and data streams Sprint has already announced that they won't be allowing this until they launch their WiMax network.

On certain PPCs you could run Skype as well as use the web but this still isn't quite perfect.
