a computer. there are bunches of computers here that i can use but a lot of websites, personal email, etc. that i won't be able to get on. this site is sometimes spotty as well. i also use my phone to Netflix watch and podcast listen.

I had this problem when I started this job. Fortunately, they moved me closer to the exec team on the other side of the building and I picked up a signal over here. I'd get one of those things that ppl use on planes that don't have wifi.

ya just switch to verizon
sprint's 1900 mhz spectrum doesn't do well in building, verizon uses more 850 mhz that (obviously) penetrates walls much better.  yeah sprint has 800, we all know that, they just don't have much of it.

the no wifi available part is the part that made me go "huh?"

[420seriouscat69]

My work has wifi, but they lock it up and won't give out the password for some weird reason.

***UPDATE ALERT***

switching to Verizon will not solve the problem. no Verizon service here either. am i in some building that doubles as a gate to hell? maybe. need help!

My phone was banned from the wifi on the first day, likely because of gE

[Skipper44]

Just go ahead and pm your resume to Michigancat

At my old job years ago Sprint sucked at one end of the building and lots of us had Sprint so this one lady called them and they gave her a box thing to bring in and plug it in and then we had awesome service.  Maybe try that?

[Mikeyis4dcats]

you can buy repeaters.   They are $500+ though.   We have one for an office here.   If it's not a work phone, they probably wouldn't like you installing it tho...

[The Big Train]

Just install like 300 wifi extenders from your house to the new building.

Have you tried walking around the building while holding your phone really high up above your head?

[XocolateThundarr]

If you can catch the wifi signal from a neighboring company, bribe one of their employees for the password.

Sat phone.

[pissclams]

sprint will give you a signal booster, just call and talk to customer service

Sue your company for stiffing your first amendment rights.
