Why would you need to fall back if there is more LTE coverage than 3G/CDMA coverage?
10.
by djchen 7y ago
I actually cited a source above that Sprint alone has more LTE coverage than 3G coverage. The same is also true for T-Mobile.

Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint each have more LTE coverage than 3G/CDMA. (AT&T is the exception with more 3G coverage) Source: https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones/Guides/sprint-coverage...

Comcast's Xfinity Mobile allows non-CDMA iPhones on its network (through Verizon). They will only connect to Verizon's LTE network and is unable to access its CDMA network. I suspect Boost could do the same.

Boost also uses Sprint's LTE network.

I don't know if this is still the case but Jet doesn't handle fulfillment for all of the items on their store. I've bought stuff on Jet that were shipped from over e-commerce web sites.

Like someone above, I use an ER-X (with hw offload enabled) and a UAP-AC-PRO. Cost is about $200 total. Rock solid reliability. I have never had to reboot my ER-X or UAP-AC-PROs except for firmware updates. You'll also get updates for

Most of those providers you mentioned aren't as reliable and scalable as AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, etc. That isn't an apples to apples comparison. I would not want to host my business on So You Start, Kimsufi, Hetzner, and especia

If I am a paying customer of an ISP, I sure would expect them to get me the content I want at a reasonably high speed, even if that means they need to bring up additional capacity. You could say Verizon is overselling their bandwidth to cus

You can run your own VPN on a VPS and have a dedicated IP without needing to worry about Hulu getting blocked.

> Well that's a convenient argument, given that Level 3 sends way more traffic than it receives on that link, and currently (it seems) isn't paying for that difference. That is true if Level3 was sending traffic through Verizon

I do the same thing as the OP, I use an OpenWRT router with OpenVPN back to a VPS I have and it improves streaming video quality and speed for Netflix and more. Highly recommend it.

Completely agree. I stopped using contract wireless services since a few years ago and have been able to consistently pay less and get more than before. Currently using AT&T GoPhone's new $45/30days "Walmart" plan wi

This is only the tip of the iceberg. I would say the bigger issue and thr lower hanging fruit is that we don't use Chip+Pin or Chip+Signature here in the US. Using either tech will go much further than just having police departments in
