Re: Sprint and Clearwire Finalize Merger
well there a big margin of inconsistency of speed which i think has to do with them throttling you down once you hit a certain bandwdth. they also promote a portable wireless modem that allows you to connect to there tower but there is an allocated amount of subscribers per tower, the issue there is that there is no way to monitor how many people jump on the tower and if it is filled to capacity then the next person who connects to the tower another is disconnected (the domino effect almost).The only other thing is they use 5.8 to send signal point to point which really screws with our equiptment. But theres always good with the bad.. they are using a lower frequency close to cellphones. which can make it to where you can receive signal from any sprint tower in range, based on how many of you get good signal from sprint will determine the signal strength of clear wire in the long run. Now if they merge it may be a good idea to reverse the feed and have it to were there is one there is both because clearwire does reach out to my house out in BFE and sprint signal not so good. But anyways ya thats about it.
