Sprint 4G LTE

[ThisUserName]

By the middle of 2013 Sprint will have fully decommissioned their Nextel System, and will begin using many of those towers and the then-available frequencies for their LTE system. Additionally, the Softbank deal should go through in 2013, so that should make improvement funds far more available.

I wouldn't expect them to be approaching the sheer size of VZW or AT&T in the next couple of years. Of course once they get big enough, they'll certainly remove the unlimited data for something that isn't in the customer's best interest (imo).

Still blotchy in some significant marketplaces, I don't get it at home. Can't defeat the no cost household wandering for speech, written text and information though. Plus the cost is right, I'm on the smallest moment strategy and it's great because I don't contact land lines very regularly any longer. . . . . . .

wut?

I dropped Sprint about half a month ago. I'm amazed at how good Verizon LTE works on my iPhone. I don't know why I didn't switch earlier. It is a little more expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for.

Sprint 4G sucks. I have it for my personal phone and my work phone is AT&T. AT&T is the worst company to deal with on earth but at least they have decent coverage. When I drove to Texas I was glad I took my AT&T phone because the Sprint phone rarely worked and only in major cities (Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, etc). AT&T seemed to work even out in the desert, though not 100% of the time obviously.

Did you have roaming enabled? I did a Texas road trip back in 2011 from San Francisco to Corpus Christi and lost my Pandora Radio stream for a 40 mile stretch leading into Flagstaff. I took the I-40 into Dallas and then south to Corpus. From the cities you posted it sounds like you took the I-10? I just ask because I was data roaming quite a bit, but my bill stayed the same. This was of course all 3G.

I bought 2 new Samsung Galaxy S3's on Black Friday and was able to keep my unlimited data plans on both of them, significantly faster now with 4G LTE as opposed to 3G on my old ones.

Sprint is really fighting hard to keep up with the competition. With all the money issues, the nextel and clearwire purchases, and building a nationwide LTE network, I think their doing the best job they can given their situation. They will only improve at this point.
