Affects Fastest LTE Network Ads

Since they are going to accurately give the information of each customer - this may bring down their Fastest Network advertising.

We dont really measure speed of networks by their backhaul and by what the network is capable of - if this was the case, then Sprint would win (as it is technically capable of by far faster speeds) - but if you were to be very specific of what speeds customers are actually getting, not just how fast the network is where they are, but what speeds we are physically seeing and getting to our devices is what matters in my opinion.

Sprint was unable to process the payment via their phone payment system, on their website and over the phone with a representative in the Philippines with a horrible accent. The representative said their system was unable to process the payment as it wasn't a valid form of payment. This went back and...

I don't know where specifically you're talking about, but many areas that read EDGE just last summer where I travel now light up LTE. I've had the pain of Sprint. Never again!

I know what you mean. I tried hard to stick with Sprint but they did everything possible to push me out of their service. They were such a promising company but unfortunately bad management is running that company into the ground.
