Sprint indicated that many of the customers it lost were due to its shutdown of the iDEN network, which was turned off June 30.

It may be spin to a point but certainly something isn't right, Sprint has been consistently gaining, and not losing customers, for the last 2-3 years.....there has to be some reason why those numbers would suddenly reverse

Have you seen the network lately? It's atrocious.


As to iDEN, they were thrown some of the best offers that Sprint has ever offered. 99 cent devices that normal customers pay $150+ for - as well as PLENTY of notice of iDEN shutting down and Sprint Direct Connect being the lateral move.

I'm well aware of Sprint's problems....but you don't suddenly do a 180, from consistently adding 500,000 new subscribers per fiscal quarter to losing 2 million the next without some reason....
