Sprint doesn't merge with Softbank, they maybe doomed. And if they merge with Dish, even worse. I may not use Sprint, but I would like them to move on and improve.

Won't things be better once they finally launch LTE in the 800 frequency?

I've read horror posts on Engadget about Sprints unusable data network.

Gosh, is it going to be 2015, 2017 by the time Sprint is doing better???

If I were the CEO of T-Mobile, I'd be like, hey we're not doing that bad, at least compared to Sprint, lol.

That extra $10 smartphone fee is was a really, really stupid, unjustified move.

Based on the comments I read on Engadget, a lot of their customers are loosing patience. Perhaps more people will start running to T-Mobile, and give them a chance.

"...a lot of their customers are loosing patience."

I did a long time ago. And then there's my wife. She won't leave because they work where she works. My lowly Metro PCS 4G service is fast while her Boost 3G is painful.

Yeah I can only get 2 Mbps with my Sprint 3G service. What a shame...

At any rate though, you folks must not invest in the stock market. If you did, you probably would understand the concept of due diligence. Their BoD has a duty to the stockholders to consider any and all offers which may maximize shareholder value. To not at least look over and consider Dish's offer would be malfeasance.

One thing that bothers me about stockholders is that their greediness supercedes ANYTHING else.

Customers, not important, employees not important,
the greed of stockholders is all that matters to again greedy CEOs, we live in a world where CEOs make on average 700x more than employees who do REAL work other than just wear a suit and answer to other suits, and then their is immense amount of turnover because companies don't give employees a respectable wage,...because greedy slug stockholders are way, way more important than the employees and customers.

I loved when it was first announced it was strictly a 4G charge, right when the original HTC EVO came out for brilliant idea of WiMAX, and then a month or so later it was for all smartphones. 🤣 Now their data is completely useless and they're still charging people for "Premium Data".

I just don't understand why people put up with Sprint???
If you pay $149-$249 for a smartphone, you expect to be able to use it!

Disgruntled Sprint customers oughta give T-Mobile a try, give them more revenue, there's a good chance Tmo will have more LTE coverage by years end than Sprint, and far, far superior speeds with the combination of HSPA 42 & LTE.

Most places here in Connecticut, I have full bars, no complaints here. Inside the house I live in, full bars.

You would be the one and only person. In Orange County, CA I would have at least 60 percent of new activations with T-mobile returned because of coverage issues.

Now let me make this clear I am not totally hating on T-mobile. Where I live in San Bernardino, CA now I know in at least one spot(only because I don't have T-mobile so I have no way of checking coverage everywhere) T-mobile HSPA+ is without a doubt real 4G. I was playing with a customers phone and it was getting about 22mbps. But with most customers I get complaints about tmobile.

Wow, I've never gotten 22, highest I've ever gotten was 19, but that was only once, I rarely get above 15.

Their currently working on deploying LTE in Bridgeport, Stamford, and Hartford, so probably by the end of summer, a good portion of Connecticut will have LTE.

Using the S4 here.

I get pretty high data speeds with Tmobile in different locations across California but travel a mile or two up the street and well thats a whole different story back to super slow Edge and at times even slower 3G data speeds than Sprint its quite sad. It is absolutely terrible if you travel with a Tmobile phone unless you are one of those individuals who never leaves their local area from work to your home.

I travel frequently up and down California. Even when im in the city area inside my house the reception is absolutely terrible. I move often and I have never experienced full bars unless I was in the city and not inside the building.

I have been with Tmobile since the Side kick came out and well before the data speeds and voice w...
