AT&T won best 3G network, with 2X the data speeds of Sprint.

They are getting ready to bring WiMAX smartphones to the masses.
Personally if the Supersonic ends up having a 4.3in screen I will pass. 4.3 is just too big for a cell phone.

No such thing, what? Too big of a screen for a cell phone? I don't want it poking into my stomach when I have it in my holster!

I really do think 3.7 is a sufficient size.

PC World confirms: You can't beat Sprint's dependable 3G network


02/23/2010

Let Verizon and AT&T duke it out over maps. The latest PC World 3G tests show that no network is more dependable than Sprint’s. For the second consecutive year, Sprint’s Now Network was proven as second-to-none in a 13-city 3G test by PC World.

Last year, Sprint won the network contest with 90.5 percent connectivity at reasonable speeds. This year, while also building the first 4G network from a national wireless carrier, we actually improved our connectivity rates to 94 percent. In addition, Sprint had 100 percent connections in Baltimore, Portland and San Diego.

The PC World results, released today, show Sprint tying AT&T in...

I think you have that backwards. I remember the same article. I thought it was ATT that has the network demand issues due to the iphone.

Regardless, Sprint's network has improved greatly since Ericsson has began tweaking the system. Metropolitan areas have had a noticeable increase in efficiency. Their present 4G is also being improved while they roll out the new markets. Sprint took a huge slap in the face. But I believe we will see new piqued interest as the year moves forward. I think Sprint has a huge major announcement waiting in the wings.

That's good. Maybe they'll expand it to more than a couple metro areas since its virtually non existent compared to the CDMA networks. Not that it matters 4G is faster.


While we're on the subject of non existent maybe they could work on that little 'coverage' problem at&t has. Let's faceit if it wasn't for the iphone and uverse at&t would be on tmobiles pathetic level.

I am for Sprint all the way. It wasn't always this way. But upon my return, they have treated me like a person rather than a bottom line.

Losing 7 million subs or so will change a companies attitude! 🤣 They appear to be slowly righting their ship and that's good to see.

I have learned much in my 49 years. One is that you will most always receive great service when you deal with a company that "Needs" and really "Wants" your business rather than acquiring you as a financial cash cow. In my opinion, Sprint is a new company that I am willing to bank on for a new consumer interest. It will not happen tomorrow or the next day. But as you said, they have made tremendous improvements and I think you will see some great announcements coming from Sprint this year.

Too bad they don't offer month-to-month service. I would like to give them a try. Bring over four lines, but not on their terms. I will continue to cheer for them while I languish on Verizon though.

I hear you. It would be nice to have that offering. My personal experience with pay as you go or prepaid, CS is absolutely horrible. Verizon treated me second rate. ATT could care less about my business. TMO was good but coverage was lacking with prepaid. While post paid was much better, Nextel was the best. Sprint was horrible. I vowed never to return. A friend told me to try them again. I said are you kidding? I have to say they have been stellar so far.

Listen buddy NOBODY cares about your business. Stop acting like you matter. I get better service from some guys in India than I do Shaniqua at ANY cell phone company's customer care.

What exactly is the point of that comment? You are one of those people who laughs at his own corny jokes aren't you? I am not a Sprint employee OR customer, but I believe that we are all better off if Sprint is successful and I want them to do better. As it stands Verizon and AT&T already only compete with one another and the imbalance is clear by their bot companies' strong arming their customers into mandatory data and text bundles respectively. If you think Sprint failing then you are a troll and should just sign your posts as such.

Not to mention that he has no idea what he is talking about anyway. Sprint has a TON of spectrum, enough to honostly handle having Verizon's # of customers (which will inevitably happen again) cuz anyone who actually thinks Sprint is going somewhere is just being unrealistic.

Sprint having Verizon's # of customers???? ROTFLMAO. While it's understandable you want to defend Sprint, don't be silly.

you're inability to address the guy's points or to make even slightly amusing comments (though you find them hilarious) doesn't change the fact that yes, Sprint did gobble up a ton of spectrum and has a long way to go before they start stressing the network. despite the fact sprint has repeatedly shot istelf in the foot PR and customer support wise throughout its history, it is unargueably one of the more forward moving companies in regards to network technology.
