Sprint simply doesn't have $1 Billion laying around on its own, so it could get it from Softbank. Though Softbank already plunked tens of billions into Sprint, and little has been done to be competitive other than more broken promises of 4G (there is LTE everywhere on Sprint now, but it either lacks connectivity to the internet, or the signal is so weak 90% of customers still cant use it), Spark (which now crippled devices so no more Simultaneous Voice and Data), and the news on throttling. I mean, how competitive are these ideas? Let alone, Misoyashi Son claims he wants to start a price war with the big 2. He can start a price war now, but isn't. You cant compete on price alone, just ask T-Mobile, who lost millions each year, that is until ...

Agreed. Cash helps pay debt, build a network, and can be used to buy more spectrum.

How does Sprint hate customers. Giving people discounts without the responsibility of somebody else's bill? Framily plan?

By making you pay for services that you only get half off or barely work. By basically telling you to go fly a kite when you threaten to leave or by saying your slow data or lack of voice service is normal.

You really have to stop reading what other non-Sprint users are saying and start focusing on reinstating some self-corrective knowledge.

Tmobile is not all what these sites claim it to be. I know because I practice what I preach. I'm not listening to cellphone media hubs praising Tmobile. My contract with Sprint was done a while ago. When it came to upgrading my phone, I decided to give Tmobile a try. I had to bail after a week and half. I just couldn't bare to see myself playing hide and seek with signal as I am on the road a lot. The bottom line is that Tmobile has no where near the native coverage Sprint has. In fact, Sprint is second after Verizon in overall area wide 4G coverage. AT&T maybe second in customer coverage due to concent...

You are right. I also live in Rochester NY and have T-mobile. And when you leave the city the signal drops down to 2G speeds

T-Mobile recently said they were planning on upgrading all the edge coverage areas to 4G, I believe they said 4G LTE in the next year. I've had all the major carriers service except AT&T. T-Mobile work good for me except for a small percentage of the time that I might travel to a real rural area. having mainly Sprint 3G around my house, is like having edge those very few times I travel out into rural areas.

At least Sprint's network is still better than T-mobile's. And T-mobile is still losing tons of money. Without Sprint T-mobile will continue to bleed money.
